New Trends of Semiconductor Equipment Market

Due to the moderate growth of global semiconductor market and slight drop in global semiconductor capital expediture market,the global semiconductor equipment market is gentle growth. The growth rate of global semiconductor equipment will be 3%～4% in 2007,it is possible to appear drop in 2008. The Chinese Taiwan area has become a seeondary semiconductor and material market in the world. The lithography equipment market is good,it's CAGR is 13% in 2006～2012. The 450 mm wafer is inevitable frend of the semiconductor industry develop. The festival time of the transition from 300 mm wafer to 450 mm wafer is around about 2013.
