|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
SAN JOSE, Calif., June 16, 2005 -- North American-based manufacturers of semiconductor equipment posted $1.03 billion in orders in May 2005 (three-month average basis) and a book-to-bill ratio of 0.85 according to the May 2005 Book-to-Bill Report published today by SEMI. A book-to-bill of 0.85 means that $85 worth of orders were received for every $100 of product billed for the month. The three-month average of worldwide bookings in May 2005 was $1.03 billion. The bookings figure is 2.7 percent above the revised April 2005 level of $998.8 million and 34 percent below the $1.56 billion in orders posted in May 2004. The three-month average of worldwide billings in May 2005 was $1.21 billion. The billings figure is 2.6 percent below the revised April 2005 level of $1.24 billion and 15 percent below the May 2004 billings level of $1.41 billion. While some semiconductor manufacturing equipment segments have improved, overall bookings levels have remained relatively constant over the past several months, said Stanley T. Myers, president and CEO of SEMI. "Total orders for new equipment are lower in comparison to the same period in 2004. However, last year was a tremendously strong growth year and current booking levels are significantly higher than they were in the 2002 and 2003 timeframe." The SEMI book-to-bill is a ratio of three-month moving averages of worldwide bookings and billings for North American-based semiconductor equipment manufacturers. Billings and bookings figures are in millions of U.S. dollars. |

TWENTY NEW FABS TO BE BUILT IN CHINA BY 2008 SAYS SEMI REPORT New Market Research Study Details China Semiconductor, Equipment and Materials Trends and Forecasts |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
SAN JOSE, Calif., June 9, 2005 -- In 2004, new semiconductor equipment
sales in mainland China reached US$2.73 billion; used/refurbished equipment
sales are estimated at US$180 million; fab materials sales totaled US$391
million; and the packaging materials market reached US$781 million, according
to the China Capital Equipment and Electronic Materials Market Outlook,
a comprehensive new market research report that is now available from SEMI.
China's semiconductor manufacturing is a relatively small share of the world total, but the number of new fabs and packaging plants are increasing relative to other market regions. The report indicates that twenty new fabs are expected to be built in China between 2005 and 2008, with many of the projects to be equipped with used and refurbished equipment. Furthermore, the number of silicon wafers consumed in China increased dramatically, while the first 300 mm fab began pilot production in 2004.

NORTH AMERICAN SEMICONDUCTOR EQUIPMENT INDUSTRY POSTS MARCH 2005 BOOK-TO-BILL RATIO OF 0.81 |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
SAN JOSE, Calif., April 19, 2005 -- North American-based manufacturers
of semiconductor equipment posted $1.02 billion in orders in March 2005
(three-month average basis) and a book-to-bill ratio of 0.81 according
to the March 2005 Book-to-Bill Report published today by SEMI. A book-to-bill
of 0.81 means that $81 worth of orders were received for every $100 of
product billed for the month. The three-month average of worldwide bookings in March 2005 was $1.02 billion. The bookings figure is nominally below the revised February 2005 level of $1.02 billion and 26 percent below the $1.38 billion in orders posted in March 2004. The three-month average of worldwide billings in March 2005 was $1.27 billion. The billings figure is 5 percent below the revised February 2005 level of $1.33 billion and approximately even with the March 2004 billings level of $1.27 billion. "The overall picture for North America-based manufacturers of new semiconductor equipment remains essentially unchanged," said Stanley T. Myers, president and CEO of SEMI. "Three-month average total equipment bookings are hovering above the one billion dollar level." The SEMI book-to-bill is a ratio of three-month moving averages of worldwide bookings and billings for North American-based semiconductor equipment manufacturers. Billings and bookings figures are in millions of U.S. dollars. |

These organizations are the European Semiconductor Industry Association, the Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association, the Korea Semiconductor Industry Association, the Taiwan Semiconductor Industry Association, and the United States Semiconductor Industry Association. In the 2004 Update, many of the difficult challenges for the ITRS were revisited and updated to reflect the most current thinking and most critical tasks for semiconductor R&D. The Overall Technology Roadmap Characteristics were updated to reflect chapter table updates and to stay current with the latest industry developments. The process of revision continues with the 2005 edition. The activities this year will result in a new edition, with several new topics and chapters. During this conference, the ITRS overall technology characteristics for future generations of particular products and architectures will be presented. Emerging research devices and materials will be highlighted. Other topics include Design and System Drivers, Test and Test Equipment, Process Integration, Lithography, Modeling and Simulation, Emerging Research Devices and Materials. Challenges regarding Front end Processes, Interconnect, Assembly and Packaging, Metrology, Yield, and Factory Integration will be presented. Starting at 15:30 on Tuesday, 12 April, and continuing through Wednesday afternoon, the teams will ask the audience for input regarding critical challenges to keep the industry on a healthy growth trend. Recommendations for potential solutions, as well as identifying areas of innovation will be encouraged.

NORTH AMERICAN SEMICONDUCTOR EQUIPMENT INDUSTRY POSTS DECEMBER 2004 BOOK-TO-BILL RATIO OF 0.95 |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
SAN JOSE, Calif., January 20, 2005 -- North American-based manufacturers
of semiconductor equipment posted $1.24 billion in orders in December 2004
(three-month average basis) and a book-to-bill ratio of 0.95 according
to the December 2004 Book-to-Bill Report published today by SEMI. A book-to-bill
of 0.95 means that $95 worth of orders were received for every $100 of
product billed for the month. The three-month average of worldwide bookings in December 2004 was $1.24 billion. The bookings figure is seven percent below the revised November 2004 level of $1.33 billion and 4.6 percent above the $1.18 billion in orders posted in December 2003. The three-month average of worldwide billings in December 2004 was $1.31 billion. The billings figure is 2.6 percent below the revised November 2004 level and 36 percent above the December 2003 billings level of $963 million. "Based on these preliminary figures, we now expect worldwide sales of new semiconductor equipment by North American suppliers to total $16.5 billion in 2004, an increase of more than 60 percent over the prior year," said Stanley T. Myers, president and CEO of SEMI. "The cyclic bookings peak occurred in June 2004 and total bookings in December are 23 percent below that level." The SEMI book-to-bill is a ratio of three-month moving averages of worldwide bookings and billings for North American-based semiconductor equipment manufacturers. Billings and bookings figures are in millions of U.S. dollars. |
