Silicon wafer area shipments in 2015 totaled 10,434 million square inches (MSI), up from the previous market high of 10,098 million square inches shipped during 2014. Revenues totaled $7.2 billion down from $7.6 billion posted in 2014.
"Semiconductor silicon shipment levels remained strong throughout most of the year, resulting in record volume shipments,” said Dr. Volker Braetsch, chairman SEMI SMG and senior vice oresident of Siltronic AG.
”The strength in shipments was not enough to compensate headwinds from further price decline and some exchange rate impact; silicon revenues for the year decreased yet again and are significantly below their market high set in 2007.”
