Chip equipment sales slump

Worldwide sales of equipment used to make semiconductors almost halved in December from the same month in 1997, the eighth straight month of decline, as U.S. and Japanese chip makers scaled back capital spending, industry figures showed. Equipment sales slumped 48.5 percent to $1.412 billion in the month, the Semiconductor Equipment Association of Japan said.
