受到自2006年起半导体市场消化库存,以及处理器、存储器市场价格战等短期因素影响,半导体市场增长步伐变缓。全球金融危机的扩散,不啻于给正值周期性调整的半导体产业又施一层寒霜,多个市场调研公司下调了2007年底及2008年初做出的增长预期,如表1所示。那么,走在市场前沿的半导体公司,他们对未来一年的半导体市场演变如何判断?那些给半导体行业带来生机的应用亮点又在哪里呢? Affected by short-term factors such as digesting the semiconductor market in 2006 and price war in the processor and memory markets, the pace of growth in the semiconductor market has slowed down. The spread of the global financial crisis, not because of the cyclical correction of the semiconductor industry is another layer of frost, a number of market research companies cut their growth forecasts in late 2007 and early 2008, as shown in Table 1. So, semiconductor companies walking in the forefront of the market, how they judge the evolution of the semiconductor market in the coming year? What are the highlights of the applications that bring vitality to the semiconductor industry?
