“Tao (τ) Law” Paper Updated and Released on ChinaXiv

Publish Time:2026-07-07

On July 3, 2026, He Tingbo, Director of Huawei and President of the Semiconductor Business Department, updated and released the V2 version of her authored paper, “A Time Scaling Theory for Multi-Layer Electronic Systems,” on ChinaXiv, the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ preprint platform for scientific papers.

The updated version further improves the theoretical framework of post-Moore’s Law scaling centered on the time constant τ, systematically presenting engineering implementation pathways, measured quantitative data, and product evolution roadmaps. The paper also discloses parts of the roadmap planning for Huawei’s Kirin and Ascend chip series, demonstrating the practical transition of the “Tao (τ) Law” from a theoretical framework toward engineering validation.

The V2 version of the paper highlights two major production-scale engineering validation achievements in mobile SoCs and AI systems. In the field of mobile SoCs, the paper introduces the “LogicFolding” technology, which enables significant improvements in transistor density and energy efficiency on fixed semiconductor process nodes. In the field of AI systems, through collaborative design technologies including Unified Bus, Hi-ONE, and 3D Folding, the level of hardware integration is expected to increase by more than 100 times by 2035.
