Saturn V, re:<A shrink of the MOS gate , must be accompanied by an equivalent reduction in gate oxide thickness.If this is not done the gate will not shutoff in the OFF state. The thinner oxide and shorter channels create several reliability problems, unless the voltage is reduced. So most shrinks are accompanied by a reduction in voltage.>

Some people think the gate sizes will not be reduced much because they are already almost at 0.18.
