Toshiba to mass-produce 28-nm chips from 2010/11

TOKYO, June 18 (Reuters) - Japan's Toshiba Corp (6502.T), the world's second-largest maker of NAND flash memory chips, said on Thursday it aims to start mass-producing 28-nanometre chips in the business year starting in April 2010, skipping previously planned 32-nanometre chip production.

Chip makers are racing to shrink their chips, packing more power onto each sliver of silicon.
