German book-to-bill jumps from 1.11 to 1.14 in September FRANKFURT -- German sales of semiconductors soared 65% in September over the same month last year, according to ZVEI. The industry association indicated there are no signs of a slowdown yet in the industry. Sales had gained 67% in August and 60% in July. For the first nine months, semiconductor sales climbed 52% from the same period last year, the ZVEI report showed. "Semiconductor sales posted a new record in September and orders also continue to look good," the German trade group said. Germany's book-to-bill ratio, which is seen as a key gauge of future growth, rose to 1.14 in September from 1.11 in August, the ZVEI report showed. That means that $114 worth of orders were received by the industry for every $100 it shipped that month.
