Huawei Unveils New Chip Technology Targeting 1.4nm Production by 2031

Huawei announced a new semiconductor development approach called the Tau Scaling Law, aiming to produce 1.4-nanometer chips by 2031 despite U.S. sanctions restricting access to advanced manufacturing equipment. This method, including the LogicFolding architecture, focuses on improving chip performance by reducing signal delays and stacking circuits, potentially bypassing the need for extreme ultraviolet lithography machines. Huawei plans to launch Kirin chips using this technology in 2026, positioning itself to narrow the gap with industry leaders like TSMC and Intel amid ongoing geopolitical tensions.
