18:01 ET Semiconductor Equipment Book-to Bill at 0.87 The North American-based manufacturers of semiconductor equipment posted $712 million in orders in February 2002 and a book-to-bill of 0.87. The bookings figure is 10% above the revised January 2002 level of $645 million and 56% below the $1.61 billion in orders posted in February 2001; the revised book-to-bill for January was 0.81 -- this means February's 0.87 ratio marks the fifth consecutive month without a sequential decrease in the book-to-bill ratio.
