Huawei's Chip Queen Unveils Post-Moore's Law Era
25 May
Summary
- He Tingbo leads Huawei's semiconductor efforts, advancing China's self-reliance.
- Huawei introduced 'Tau Scaling Law' to guide chip development beyond Moore's Law.
- Over six years, Huawei mass-produced 381 chips using the new principle.
He Tingbo, a 30-year veteran of Huawei, is spearheading the company's semiconductor development and China's drive for technological self-sufficiency. Appointed in 2003 to lead chip development, she is now president of Huawei's semiconductor business and a key executive.
She recently introduced Huawei's "Tau Scaling Law" at a Shanghai symposium, proposing a new direction for chip progress beyond the limitations of Moore's Law. This principle focuses on speeding up transmission across devices and systems rather than solely shrinking transistors.
Huawei states that this approach has guided their efforts for six years, resulting in the mass production of 381 chips. This development is critical for Huawei, which has been significantly impacted by U.S. sanctions since 2019.
The sanctions cut Huawei off from essential foreign chip technologies and manufacturing, prompting a heightened focus on domestic innovation. He Tingbo's leadership is seen as central to this strategic shift, aiming to ensure Huawei's survival and China's rise as a high-tech power.
