TOKYO – The 90-day moving average orders at Japan-based semiconductor equipment manufacturers fell 30.6% year-over-year in November.

The three-month average of worldwide bookings in November was ¥80.9 billion, down 0.4% from the revised October level of ¥81.2 billion and down 30.6% from November 2010.
Worldwide billings were down 14.6% from the revised October figures and 22.3% from last year to ¥83.4 billion.
