North American-based manufacturers of semiconductor equipment posted a book-to-bill ratio of 1.05 in February, up from 1.04 in January, according to the SEMI.
A book-to-bill of 1.05 means that $105 worth of orders were received for every $100 of product billed for the month.
The three-month average of worldwide bookings in February 2007 was $1.65 billion. The bookings figure is about one percent under the final January 2007 level of $1.67 billion and about 28 percent above the $1.29 billion in orders posted in February 2006.
The three-month average of worldwide billings in February 2007 was $1.58 billion. The billings figure is about two percent under the final January 2007 level of $1.60 billion and 23 percent higher than the February 2006 billings level of $1.28 billion.
"The three month average for North American bookings and billings remained steady in February," said Stanley Myers, president and CEO of SEMI, in a statement. "Though semiconductor industry market trends have slowed some in the first part of 2007, current equipment data are at levels well above one year ago."
