Japan's NEC Electronics Corp. said on Monday it has developed a technology to make advanced microchips with circuitry width of 55-nanometres, and would aim to start mass-production by the end of 2007. NEC Electronics currently makes chips with circuitry widths of 90 nanometres, or billionths of a metre, putting it behind some players in the race to finer circuitry, which decreases the size of a chip and cuts per-unit production costs. Intel Corp. and Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., for example, have already started mass production of 65-nanometre chips. South Korea's Samsung Electronics Co. aims to produce 50-nanometre class chips next year.
