2 First of all, there seems to be general agreement that Moore's Law will not stop anytime soon.
3 The current state of the art in the semiconductor industry is 250 nm, as recently announced by Intel among others. Researchers are confident that current approaches can be used for at least another three generations with their current approach.
4 In the years ahead we may even see some manufacturers skip a generation, proceeding directly to significantly smaller feature sizes. This means that the 100 nm technology wall will be reached earlier than previously anticipated.
