N. American semicon equipment industry May book-to-bill at 0.97

KUALA LUMPUR: North America-based manufacturers of semiconductor equipment posted US$1.62 billion in orders in May and a book-to-bill ratio of 0.97, according to the Semiconductor Equipment Manufacturing Industry association (SEMI).

The US-based SEMI is the global industry association for companies that supply manufacturing TECHNOLOGY [] and materials to the world's chip makers.

A book-to-bill of 0.97 means that $97 worth of orders were received for every $100 of product billed for the month.

In a statement June 16 on its website, SEMI said the bookings figure was 1.1% more than the final April level of US$1.60 billion, and is 6.2% above the US$1.53 billion in orders posted in May 2010.
