Wafer demand increases for both 200mm and 300mm wafers Print E-mail

Wafer sales continued to increase over second quarter levels, according to the latest report from the SEMI Silicon Manufacturers Group (SMG). Shipments increased 9 percent quarter on quarter to 1,748 million square inches. The new quarterly total area shipments are 7 percent above third quarter 2004 shipments.

 

"The strength in silicon shipments exhibited in the second quarter of this year was followed by an even stronger third quarter," said Makoto Tsukada, chairman SEMI SMG and general manager of Shin-Etsu Handotai Co., Ltd. "This upward momentum was driven not only by the increasing proportion of 300 mm wafers shipped but also by strong demand for 200 mm wafers."
