SAN JOSE – Bookings at North American-based semiconductor equipment manufacturers rose 39% to $1.7 billion in January. The book-to-bill jumped to 1.06, the SEMI trade group said, rising for the third straight month and closing above the benchmark 1.0 level.
The
sums are based on a three-month average of worldwide bookings.
Technically a merger, the deal was announced last December. The approximate value of the transaction was $49.5 million.
