Chip Book-to-Bill Ratio Slips: Despite a slight increase in new orders, the semiconductor industry’s key market indicator, the book-to-bill ratio, slipped to 1.10 in May from 1.12 in April, according to statistics released by the Semiconductor Industry Assn. A book-to-bill ratio of 1.10 means that for every $100 worth of products shipped (billed), manufacturers received $110 worth of new orders (bookings).
