North American-based equipment suppliers posted $1.42 billion in orders in March 2007 (three-month average basis) and a book-to-bill ratio of 1.00, according to the March 2007 Book-to-Bill Report published by SEMI.
"Bookings improved slightly in March, while there was a small decline in billings when compared to February," said Stanley T. Myers, president and CEO of SEMI. "Updated figures show relative equilibrium of orders and shipments over the past few months, reflecting continued market stability for North American providers of chip making equipment."
The bookings figure is over one percent higher than the final February 2007 level of $1.40 billion and over two percent above the $1.39 billion in orders posted in March 2006.
