China\'s EDA industry joins Huawei\'s Tau Scaling 3D chip push; commercialisation seen 4 to 5 years away
China\'s semiconductor design software industry is moving to support Huawei\'s next-generation chip strategy, with companies developing tools aligned to its Tau Scaling framework and 3D design approach. Empyrean Technology unveiled a 3D IC verification platform, while a Peking University team showed a prototype compatible with Huawei\'s Logic Folding architecture. Industry and research groups say technical hurdles and gaps with U.S.-led full-flow EDA suites mean commercialisation could take 4 to 5 years.
