The SEMI Billings Report provides a first look at the billings trends for North American Headquartered Semiconductor Equipment Manufacturers. The three-month average global billings are a strong indicator for trends in the worldwide semiconductor industry. SEMI follows the protocol established by the U.S. Department of Commerce in publishing our figures only on a three-month average basis. We do this in order to smooth out the natural volatility in billings. This report is distributed monthly approximately three weeks after the close of each month. Categories covered include front-end (wafer processing/mask/reticle/wafer manufacturing/fab facilities) equipment and final manufacturing (assembly/packaging/test) equipment.

Notice Regarding the Book-to-Bill Report
SEMI ceased publishing the monthly North America Book-to-Bill report in 2017. The December 2016 report and press release marked the last publication of bookings data. The decision to discontinue the Book-to-Bill report was based on changes in reporting by some participants where the reporting of orders/bookings into the data collection program became an unnecessary component of their industry analysis.
SEMI continues to publish a monthly billings report and issue a a press release that compares month-to-month and year-over-year trends billings activity of equipment companies based in North America. Additional detailed billings data will also be available in the monthly Worldwide Semiconductor Equipment Market Statistics (WWSEMS) report that SEMI prepares in collaboration with the Semiconductor Equipment Association of Japan (SEAJ). The WWSEMS report currently reports billings and bookings data by 24 equipment segments and by 7 end market regions.
SEMI also tracks semiconductor industry fab investments in detail on a company-by-company and fab-by-fab basis in its World Fab Forecast and SEMI FabView databases. These powerful tools provide access to spending forecasts, capacity ramp, technology transitions, and other information for over 1000 fabs worldwide.
