Teradyne CEO Chamillard on Software Unit, Chip Demand: Comment


San Jose, California, July 14 (Bloomberg) -- Teradyne Inc. President and Chief Executive George Chamillard comments on the No. 1 maker of semiconductor-testing equipment's software unit, demand for chips and coming changes in how computer-memory devices are tested.

Chamillard made his remarks during an interview at the Semicon West trade show in San Jose, California....

On demand for chips:

``For fundamentals, I think chips and the semiconductor industry is about as good a place as you can get. I do a kind of man-on-the-street testing, and they're willing to spend a lot more of their disposable income on bandwidth and speed. To the man on the street, certainly it's not over. I don't see any sign that the unit demand is going down. I don't see a downturn.''

On sales for the second half of this year:

``Sales will probably be up for the next six months. I think we might see order rates have some more noise in them. Shipments are increasing. You should not look at the order rates; you should look at the actual shipment increases. We'll increase shipments in second quarter, and we'll probably increase shipments in third quarter.''
