Wafer shipments to rise in Q3, says forecast company Peter Clarke EE Times (05/10/2005 6:22 AM EDT) LONDON — Total wafer shipments — 1,465 million square inches in the first quarter of 2005 — are expected to decline to reach a minimum in the second quarter of 2005, according to Advanced Forecasting, a market research company. Advanced Forecasting (Saratoga, Calif.) did not say by how much wafer shipments would decline in the second quarter or discuss the average selling price of wafers. Nor did the company say by how much wafer shipments would rise in the third quarter of 2005 compared with the second quarter of 2005. Shipments of wafers in first quarter declined 1.4 percent from the previous quarter and were 4.2 percent lower then the first quarter of 2004, Advanced Forecasting said, repeating market figures issued by the Silicon Manufacturers Group (SMG) within the Semiconductor Equipment and Materials International (SEMI) industry organization on Friday (May 6). The first quarter's wafer shipments were also a decline of 10 percent from a peak in the third quarter of 2004, Advanced Forecasting said.
