She is also one of only two women on Huawei&#8217;s \u200b17-member board, alongside Meng Wanzhou, the daughter of founder Ren Zhengfei and Huawei&#8217;s rotating chairwoman.<\/div><div>Her latest public appearance \u2060on Monday, a keynote address titled &#8220;New Semiconductor Path in Practice&#8221; at the IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems in Shanghai, places her \u200bat the centre of a global debate over what comes after Moore&#8217;s Law.<\/div><div>For decades, chip progress was driven by shrinking transistors and packing more \u200bof them onto a single chip, making computers faster, cheaper and more energy efficient, a pattern known as Moore&#8217;s Law. But as semiconductor scaling approaches lithographic and atomic limits, Moore&#8217;s Law has become less effective, forcing the industry to find new ways to boost performance.<\/div><div>For Huawei, that challenge arrived earlier and more brutally than \u200bfor many rivals. U.S. sanctions beginning in 2019 cut the company off key foreign chip technologies and leading-edge manufacturing, threatening its businesses from \u200bsmartphones to telecommunications equipment.<\/div><div>New U.S. curbs subsequently put many of Huawei&#8217;s domestic partners and competitors in a similar predicament, increasing the importance of post-Moore&#8217;s Law semiconductor \u200ctechnologies.<\/div><div>He introduced \u2060on Monday what Huawei calls the Tau Scaling Law, a principle the Chinese technology company says can guide chip development as Moore&#8217;s Law weakens.<\/div><div>Huawei said her team has spent the past six years applying it and has mass-produced 381 chips based on the approach.<\/div><div>The principle argues that the semiconductor industry should shift its focus from shrinking transistors to speeding up transmission speeds across devices, circuits, chips and computing systems.<\/div><h2>30-YEAR HUAWEI VETERAN<\/h2><div>He&#8217;s \u200bcareer has largely tracked Huawei&#8217;s global \u200brise, its years of struggle following \u2060U.S. sanctions, and then a rebirth as the core driver of China&#8217;s mission to become a high-tech juggernaut.<\/div><div>Born in 1969 in Changsha in the southern province of Hunan, she joined Huawei in 1996 as an \u200bengineer after earning a dual bachelor&#8217;s degree in semiconductor physics and communication engineering and also a master&#8217;s \u200bdegree from Beijing \u2060University of Posts and Telecommunications.<\/div><div>In 2004, the company formally established HiSilicon, its chip design unit, which He helped build from a small internal department into one of the world&#8217;s broadest semiconductor operations.<\/div><div>Under her leadership, Huawei developed capabilities across system-on-chip design, optoelectronics, and advanced packaging.<\/div><div>The portfolio eventually spanned smartphones, artificial intelligence, \u2060general-purpose processors, \u200btelecommunications, networking and consumer electronics, playing a significant part in Huawei&#8217;s 2025 revenue of \u200b880.9 billion yuan ($130 billion).<\/div><div>After sanctions hit, He became closely associated with Huawei&#8217;s internal survival effort. In a widely circulated 2019 letter to HiSilicon employees, she said the unit was &#8220;building \u200ba backup lifeline for Huawei and for the whole country.&#8221;<\/div><div>($1 = 6.7810 Chinese yuan renminbi)<\/div><div><address><div><div><noscript>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"120\" height=\"120\" alt=\"Eduardo Baptista\" class=\"wp-image-9\" src=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/a8d647782541686b4c9068dd2dfa6f30.avif\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/noscript><\/div><div>Eduardo Baptista<\/div><\/div><div><ul><li><span><div><svg><title>Email<\/title><\/svg><\/div><\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/address><\/div><\/div><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=156\">Morning Bid: Will they or won\u2019t they?<\/a><\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=154\">Toshifumi Suzuki, father of Japan\u2019s convenience stores, dies at 93<\/a><\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=152\">Vessels carrying Middle East oil, LNG exit Hormuz, head for Pakistan, China<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When He Tingbo was put in charge \u200bof Huawei&#8217;s chip development in 2003, the young engineer was handed an annual budget of $400 million and a mandate \u200cthat would eventually put her at the centre of China&#8217;s most consequential technology effort.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":157,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[11],"class_list":["post-158","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-artificial-intelligence"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Huawei&#039;s &#039;chip queen&#039;
