(August 26, 2005) San Jose, Calif. &#8212 Worldwide semiconductor manufacturing equipment billings reached $7.58 billion in Q2 2005, SEMI reports. Billings are 19% below Q1 2005 and 21% below Q2 2004’s figure. The data is gathered together with the Semiconductor Equipment Association of Japan (SEAJ) from more than 150 global equipment companies that provide monthly data.
