Figure 1

Log-log plot of the product selling price ($·m−2) versus single tool throughput (m2·s−1) with contours showing the relationship between throughput and selling price for different yearly revenue levels. Optical lithography as used for integrated circuit manufacturing is an example of a low-throughput process used to make a very high value product, leading to large revenues. Flexography, used for newsprint production, is a very high throughput process manufacturing a low value product, leading to more modest per-tool revenues.
