For more than five decades, the semiconductor industry has relied on a simple and powerful prediction, Moore’s Law, which states that transistors on a chip double roughly every two years, has now hit serious physical and economic walls.
The global industry faces slowing geometric scaling and the steady erosion of cost-per-transistor benefits.
This common challenge has forced every major player to search for a new path forward, and at the 2026 IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems (ISCAS), Huawei’s He Tingbo proposed an alternative framework called the Tau (τ) Scaling Law.
A new guiding principle from Shanghai
According to Huawei, peers and colleagues have already nicknamed this approach “Her’s Law” in recognition...
