Did you see the WSJ article today?? Some quotes [sort of]:

1997 for example, the group {semi} predicted .15u by 2001, now it appears we'll be @ .13u by then.
With each challenge the industry has planned ahead and com up with alternatives. This time, one of the biggest obstacles is in finding a replacement for silicon dioxide, a key insulating material in most chips. the problem is that today's manuf technologies are accureate enough to create a uniform layer of silicon dioxide that is only eight atoms in thickness. Once that gets down to one or two atoms, the uniformity may be spotty and the layers can't be stretched any thinner.
