That book to bill is for semi-equipment, not semis. If anything, it is better for this btb to be <1. Less people buying equipment, less fab capacity later. That implies a bigger crunch later on to come, longer semi-upturn. On the other hand, a semi-equipment btb turn-around had always been a lagging indicator of semi turn-around. If if semi-equipment had turned, a pretty good indication that semi had turned.
