Phoenix, Arizona May 10, 2011 - Semico Research is forecasting 2011 semiconductor revenue will reach 8% growth this year. We'll head into a slowdown during the second half of 2011 going into 2012, causing some cutbacks and bringing 2012's total growth to 2%.

These numbers are backed by our Inflection Point Indicator (IPI) as well as current events in the semiconductor industry. As we discussed at the Summit, one example of a market that will experience cutbacks will be the tablet market.

Wafer Demand: Good to Grow in 2011

Phoenix, Arizona April 19, 2011 - The foundries are ramping 32nm/28nm production, but that's only one of the reasons wafer demand is forecast to grow at above average rates this year. MEMS and sensors will help to grow wafer demand at the ¡Ý1000nm technology nodes. Microcontroller units are expected to grow by just over 10%, driving up the need for more silicon. And, although DRAM units are expected to grow by only 4-5%, NAND flash units will continue to grow at double-digit rates. All these are top reasons why wafer demand will grow over 10% in 2011.
