MILPITAS, CA — The 90-day average sales among North America-based semiconductor equipment manufacturers rose 27.2% year-over-year, according to the SEMI trade group.

Semiconductor equipment manufacturers posted $2.05 billion in billings worldwide over the period, up 1.6% over the revised October level of $2.02 billion.

“November billings for North American equipment manufacturers increased modestly for the first time in four months,” said Dan Tracy, senior director, Industry Research and Statistics, at SEMI. “Year-to-date equipment spending is well on track to set a historical high, and we expect that positive momentum to continue into next year as new fabs in China begin to equip."
