Like what ? Are you going to come here and say graphene ? I don't see any replacement for silicon and the laws of physics are eventually going to stop us from shrinking any further. What do you propose that we use for new scanner technologies ? 13.5nm EUVL has done nothing but act like vapourware.
Like Bob Colwell said, "It's not going to be physical limits that will end moore's law but it will be due to the economics of making cost effective technology."
Computational lithography is still too out of reach for us ... Having good material may be one thing but having no good scanner technologies will mean that you can't print extremely small, fine, and precise features of the circuits.
Ohhh, I can see the awful repercussions that will come out of this whole mess. Moore's law may even stop at the 10nm node for all I know.
