Taiwan semiconductor equipment investment of $7 billion 700 million

SEMI (international semiconductor equipment and Materials Industry Association) said that in 2010 the Fab capital expenditure growth of 117%, Taiwan province equipment investment amounted to $7 billion 700 million in global crown. In the first quarter of this year, global semiconductor equipment shipments reached $7 billion 460 million, compared with the same period last year grew by 142%.

SEMI SEMI World Fab Watch released report shows that in 2010 the Fab spending will increase by 117% over last year, to $35 billion 514 million, of which led Fab capital expenditure growth capacity in the next two years is amazing, estimated growth of 33% and 24% respectively.

Addition, the strong investment in the Fab will also lead to the growth of the market in the first part of the equipment market in Taiwan reached 7 billion 700 million U.S. dollars, the overall equipment market is looking at $7 billion 900 million, once again become the world's largest semiconductor equipment investment market in 77%.

SEMI World Fab Watch report shows that in 2010 the Fab capital expenditures (including buildings, facilities and equipment) than last year growth of 117%, $35 billion 514 million, and the expected next year there will be 18% of the Fab spending growth of $42 billion 35 million.

Ceng Ruiyu, senior manager of the SEMI industry research department, said this year, the growth of semiconductor equipment market is mainly from the strong capital expenditures of foundries and memory manufacturers. Overall, in 2011 the global semiconductor equipment spending to maintain a steady growth, estimated that in 2010 Taiwan will be Fab capital expenditure of $7 billion 700 million in the global semiconductor equipment spending crown, South Korea $7 billion 400 million times.
