The three-month moving average growth was 20.6% for total manufacturing, the EDB reported. The seasonally adjusted month-on-month manufacturing output growth was up 1.5%.
Through November, total manufacturing output rose 9.9% over last year. Electronics was up 7.5% over that period.
Semiconductor production spiked 42% in November, computer peripherals were up 24.4% and storage was up 10.4%.
Telecom and consumer electronics fell 4.2% as lower demand for mobile products offset increased production of PCs and consumer items.
A part of the University’s RFID Research Center, the consortium aims to enable development of infrastructure, design and modeling tools and manufacturing processes to support low-cost RFID tags and systems for reliable performance.

SAN JOSE -- North
American-based manufacturers of
semiconductor equipment posted $1.09 billion in orders in November on a
90-day average basis and a book-to-bill ratio of 0.92 according
to SEMI.
A book-to-bill of 0.92 means that $92 worth of orders were received for every $100 of product billed for the month.
Bookings were about even with revised October levels of $1.09 billion and 18% below the $1.33 billion in orders posted last year.
The three-month average of worldwide billings in November was $1.18 billion, up 3% from October and down 12% from November 2004.
"Bookings for North American-based semiconductor equipment providers continue to show stability, with signs of some improvement over the previous quarter," said Stanley T. Myers, president and CEO of SEMI. "The well-managed spending cycle throughout 2005 has been encouraging and the equipment market is positioned for growth in 2006."
The SEMI book-to-bill is a ratio of three-month moving averages of worldwide bookings and billings for North American-based semiconductor equipment manufacturers. Billings and bookings figures are in millions of U.S. dollars.
