Q2 silicon wafer shipments were up 2.0% q-o-q to 3,331 million square inches but down 10.1% y-o-y from the 3,704 million square inches recorded in Q2 2022,  says  SEMI .

 

Q2 silicon wafer shipments were up 2.0% q-o-q to 3,331 million square inches but down 10.1% y-o-y from the 3,704 million square inches recorded in Q2 2022,  says  SEMI .

 

“The semiconductor industry continues to work through excess inventory in various market segments, necessitating that fabs operate below full capacity,” says SEMI’s Anna-Riikka Vuorikari-Antikainen,  “as a result, silicon wafer shipments are lagging their 2022 peak. Second-quarter wafer shipments held steady quarter-on-quarter with 300mm showing quarterly growth among all wafer sizes.”
