It's likely that chip vendors will continue to make progress on die shrinks.
Though mask sets and photoresist materials will pose a challenge starting at
the 0.18-micron generation, the industry has been able to clear a path down
to 0.1 micron by extending KrF steppers to 0.15-micron line widths.
Meanwhile, much of the groundwork has been completed for
next-generation ArF steppers, observers said.

The aggressive shift to smaller line widths is also helping to fuel speculation
that the equipment industry will see a resurgence of orders in the second half
of 1999. There's a growing perception that DRAM companies will have to
spend more on equipment for finer line widths as prices recover and the
industry moves to more advanced DRAM technology.
