KUALA LUMPUR: North America-based manufacturers of semiconductor equipment posted US$1.83 billion in orders in July 2010 (three-month average basis) and a book-to-bill ratio of 1.23.
The Semiconductor Equipment Manufacturers Industry (SEMI) said the three-month average of worldwide bookings in July 2010 was US$1.83 billion.
'The bookings figure is up 5.9% from the final June 2010 level of US$1.73 billion, and is 220.4% above the US$571.8 million in orders posted in July 2009,' it said in its report issued on Thursday, Aug 19.
A book-to-bill of 1.23 means that US$123 worth of orders was received for every US$100 of product billed for the month.
The SEMI said the three-month average of worldwide billings in July 2010 was US$1.49 billion.
The billings figure is up 1.8% from the final June 2010 level of US$1.47 billion, and is 177.6% above the July 2009 billings level of US$538.0 million.
"The July report shows continued momentum in the market for new semiconductor manufacturing equipment," said Stanley T. Myers, president and CEO of SEMI.
"While there are some questions about the semiconductor industry sustaining its strong growth trends in the second half of this year, bookings for new equipment continue to increase and are at the highest levels recorded since January 2001.'
