Semiconductor fab tool makers see sequential increase in Q1

06/13/2012

June 13, 2012 -- Semiconductor manufacturing equipment billings and bookings were virtually tied in Q1 2012, reports SEMI, with $10.61 billion in billings and $10.07 in bookings. This is a 13-14% improvement sequentially, and 9% below the same quarter last year.

Worldwide semiconductor manufacturing equipment billings reached $10.61 billion in Q1 2012, reports SEMI. The billings figure is 14% higher than the fourth quarter of 2011 and 9% lower than Q1 2011.

Worldwide semiconductor equipment bookings were $10.07 billion in Q1 2012, 13% higher than the bookings figure for the fourth quarter of 2011 and 9% lower than Q1 2011.

This data is gathered in jointly with the Semiconductor Equipment Association of Japan (SEAJ) from over 100 global equipment companies that provide data on a monthly basis.
