I doubt that. the next step from silicone is diamond. There's a synthetic diamond manufacturing process now that can create gem-quality diamonds, but the bugs are still being ironed out, and it's not capable of making them in the size necessary for efficient chip making yet. Since DeBeers is unlikely to release it's huge diamond hoarde for the betterment of computing, until the diamond making process is perfected, silicone is about it.
That's where we're gonna hit a wall soon, because we're fast approaching chip temperatures that will liquify silicone - hence the need for diamond-based chips.
