25 years ago when circuit feature size was 1 micron - we were saying the exact same thing.  I really don't know how anyone is doing 14um.  That seems totally impossible.  But - whatever, they are doing it.  
The problem arises when you reach the size of 1 atom.

The good news is we have a long way to go.  14nm is 140 angstrom.  An atom is only about 1 angstrom in diameter.  So, there remains tons of room for size reduction before we get to the atom.  Looks like memory is going to be even cheaper.
