Moore’s Law could stay on track with extreme UV progress

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel

Long-awaited improvements in photolithography could pave the way for the continued shrinking and scaling of microprocessors into the second half of this decade and beyond.

Moore’s Law—which says that transistor densities double every 18 to 24 months or so—is not some inevitable consequence of physics. Rather, it’s an observation of the way the semiconductor industry has evolved: the investment and technological progress that companies like Intel have made results in an approximate doubling of transistor densities on a regular basis.
