N. American Semi Gear Bookings Down 25% YoY

Published: 22 October 2007

SAN JOSE, CA – Three-month bookings at North American-based manufacturers of semiconductor equipment in September fell about 10% sequentially and 25% year-over-year, according to SEMI.

The OEMs posted $1.23 billion in orders in September and a book-to-bill ratio of 0.81, the trade group said.
 
The three-month average of worldwide billings in September was $1.51 billion. The billings figure is 10% less than August and about 9% less than September last year, says SEMI.
 
“New equipment orders have dipped to levels last seen in late 2005 and early 2006,” said Stanley T. Myers, president and CEO of SEMI. “We are seeing orders decline from the peak levels earlier this year, which were driven largely by strong investments in 300 mm memory capacity."
