World Semiconductor Manufacturing Equipment Sales has been exceeded 30 trillion won in the third quarter and wrote a new record.

The International Semiconductor Statements The Semi — Society (SEMI) said that the world's semiconductor manufacturing equipment sales were 38%, and $26.8 billion (31.6 trillion won), which has increased by 38% from the same period last year. In the second quarter, the second quarter, $24.9 billion ($29 trillion) (29 trillion won) increased by 8% in three months. The five-quarter recording was changed.

In 3Q, the nation, which is the most in the semiconductor manufacturing equipment, is Taiwan. Taiwan was a 3Q semiconductor manufacturing equipment of 7.33 million dollars. 45% increased from all quarter. Last year, we increased by 54% rather than $4.75 billion.

Korea has invested in the world's third semiconductor manufacturing equipment in the world after Taiwan and China. In 3Q, Korea invested in semiconductor manufacturing equipment is $5.58 million. 32 percent increased from the same period ($4.22 billion) last year. I decreased 16 percent rather than a quarter ($6.622 million).

China was a 3Q semiconductor manufacturing equipment of 7.27 billion dollars. 12% less than the previous quarter, but it increased by 29% than a year ago.

In North America, $2.29 billion invested in semiconductor manufacturing equipment. Next, $2.11 million in Japan, and $870 million in Europe.

President Anna Tom SEMI said, There are a lot of semiconductor chips demand in various fields such as communication, computing, healthcare, automobiles, said the semiconductor equipment market. Then he emphasized the semiconductor industry, despite the H1N1 coronavirus infection (corona 19) and the chip tribal situation, he said.
