Kulicke of K&S expressed the opinion that companies whose
revenue depended on the number of final ICs would turn up
more sharply than ones dealing with handling the wafers.
His theory was companies would move first to get more ICs from
one wafer, before using more wafers. Thus a company like
(just for example...) K&S that does something to each IC, will turn up
sooner and more sharply than AMAT, which does a bunch of stuff
to the wafers themselves.

I have to admit I think this theory has merit, considering what
I keep hearing about ongoing shift to small etching size vs.
delays in moving to large wafers. But you have to suspect the
source.
