And they will become increasingly prevalent (and also smaller) as information technology switches from pure electronics to so-called optoelectronics, in which light is employed alongside electrons for the carriage and processing of data.

If this (topdown) manufacturing process is to be based on the most modern forms of deposition (including epitaxy), e-beam or ultra-deep UV lithography and precision etching, the mainstay of microelectronics and optoelectronics fabrication, then there are strict limits described below for which one-off fabrication is possible, but manufacture is not.
