The SEMI data collection program assembles data for 22 categories of equipment and 6 materials categories in North America, Japan, Europe, Korea, Taiwan, China and Rest of World. SEMI also releases the Book-to-Bill report, a monthly indicator of global bookings and billings for North American headquartered manufacturers.  SEMI fab database reports deliver the latest trends on fabs worldwide and are ideal resources to empower your market research. These reports help dentify target customers and analyze both investment and technology trends with a comprehensive and dynamic range of information designed to help meet your market research needs faster and easier than ever. | Read more |

The SEMI International Standards Program is one of the key services offered  for the benefit of the worldwide semiconductor, PV and flat panel display (FPD) industries. Standards afford a way to meet the challenges of increasing productivity while enabling business opportunities around the globe. The program, started over 35 years ago in North America, was expanded in 1985 to include programs in Europe and Japan.  For more information, click here.
