E-beam lithography is not suitable for high-volume manufacturing because of its limited throughput.

As scanning speeds typically approach 500 mm/s for high-volume manufacturing, the actual resist-water contact time in any given exposure area is minimal.

If he pursues a cost leadership strategy, then the company is more likely to be committed to high-volume manufacturing, thus requiring high-volume purchasing.

A virtuous cycle of buoyant demand, increased production and cost-savings from high-volume manufacturing was set in place.
