SEMI posts July 2011 book-to-bill ratio of 0.86

KUALA LUMPUR: North America-based manufacturers of semiconductor equipment posted $1.30 billion in orders in July 2011 (three-month average basis) and a book-to-bill (BTB) ratio of 0.86, according the US-based Semiconductor Equipment Manufacturers Industry association (SEMI).

A book-to-bill of 0.86 means that $86 worth of orders were received for every $100 of product billed for the month.

SEMI is the global industry association serving the manufacturing supply chain for the micro- and nano-electronics industries.

In a statement on its website on Aug 19, SEMI said the three-month average of worldwide bookings in July 2011 was $1.30 billion.

The bookings figure was 15.7% less than the final June 2011 level of $1.54 billion, and 29.3% below the $1.84 billion in orders posted in July 2010, it said.
