  OVERVIEW:

      Expectations for 2011 began with modest growth forecasts, generally in the range of 5% to 10% growth for semiconductor revenues. By the third quarter, however, the industry began to show signs of slowing due to broader economic concerns. The presentation will provide that latest data for semiconductor industry spending on equipment and materials. Included in the discussion will be an update on projected spending for new and upgraded fabs in 2012. Highlights will also cover investments related to the LED and PV manufacturing sectors.
