SEMICONDUCTOR boffins in Japan are back in the race to extend Moore's Law, and have created 26 nanometre designs, according to a report in the Nikkei Business Daily.

The paper said that earlier this week that the government sponsored New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organisation (NEDO) pulled a 26 nanometre design out of its hat, and will now attempt to show how they can be mass produced using Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) technology.

NEDO pooled efforts by an 11 strong consortium of chip makers known as Selete and used a EUV system developed by Canon to make 26 nanometre lines on a .5mm segment of a silicon substrate.

The report said that mass production of semiconductors using these technologies is likely to start in 2011. µ

INQ Poll

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
