近数月来,全球半导体工业有趋势将扭转不景气的局面,迎来为期数年的新发展周期。据美国半导体工业协会预计,到2002年底,全球芯片销售将增长63％。今年半导体的销售额有望超过1440亿美元,比去年增长15％,远远超过原先估计的9％。 增长原因主要是低价PC及数字化的常用电器需求大增,包括数字化照相机、新颖的移动电话和有线电视控制器。PC使用的微处理器和存储器仍将是半导体工业最大的两个市场,但是,数宇化日用电器市场的迅速发 In recent months, the global semiconductor industry has had a tendency to reverse the recession and usher in a new period of development that will take years. According to the estimates of the Semiconductor Industry Association of America, by the end of 2002, global chip sales will increase by 63%. This year, semiconductor sales are expected to exceed 144 billion U.S. dollars, an increase of 15% from last year, far exceeding the original estimate of 9%. The growth is mainly due to the large increase in demand for low-cost PCs and digitized common electrical appliances, including digital cameras, novel mobile phones and cable television controllers. The microprocessors and memories used by PCs will continue to be the two largest markets for the semiconductor industry, but the rapid development of the market for consumer electronics
