Semiconductor Equipment Book-to-Bill Ratio

Data reported by SEMI (Semiconductor Equipment and Materials Internationl) shows the Semiconductor Equipment Book-to-Bill ratio (3 month moving average) continues to stay in positive territory for an 11 consecuitive month.

Global Semiconductor Shipments Show Rebound

Global Semiconductors Billings - 3 Month Moving Average as Reported bot the SIA (Semiconductor Industry Association on http://www.economy.com/ shows a rebound to levels never seen before.

As shipments continue to increase, Oxygen Electronics is seeing more and more cases of allocation, long lead times, and lost stock.  While these market conditions are surely caused by increased demand, the feeling at Oxygen is that this is a supply driven market as we are seeing more and more price increases.  Provided a rebound in the global economy our feeling is that the supply driven shortage will be followed by a demand driven shortages.

Recommendations to clients and staff is to make purchasing decisions quickly as to take advantage of inventory available today.

Freight and The Iceland Volcano

As everyone is well aware the Iceland Volcano has filled the skies over Northern Europe with a ash causing a significant amount of airspace to be closed.


After speaking with our International Sales representatives at FedEx and UPS, I have learned that contingency plans are in place and are working. FedEx is utilizing the Madrid airport and trucking services to facilitate deliveries as the Ash Cloud disburses.

I have also been told at both FedEx and UPS are suspending services with Freight Forwarders and focusing their efforts on serving their core clients. Recommendations were to NOT stop shipping or delay shipping as it is important to get product into the pipeline to ensure timely delivery.

Additional information from FedEx can be found at:  http://www.fedex.com/us/update.html

Purchasing Magazing Closes

I guess it is just a sign of the times that Print is becomming less and less revelant for the supply chain.

X-Ray Analysis to Identify Counterfeit Components

One of the many techniques used to identify and discover counterfeit electronic components is X-Ray Inspection.  Oxygen Electronics has onsite a Nicolet NXR1525 X-Ray Inspection System. 

By comparing the internal structure (of a homogeneous sample, same date & lot code) of electronic components certain types of counterfeit parts can be discovered.  The "blatant fake" counterfeit devices exhibit vast differences in internal structure including, but not limited to different Die Frames and Different Wire Bonding.

The following example is a SSW524 where were identical date and lot code packaged on tape in reel.  Note the drastic differences in internal structure.  Additional comparisons to a data sheet revel pin-out discrepancies.

Another example of a potentially counterfeit device is SAA1029.  During X-Ray inspection different internal Die Frane Construction was noted on parts that had identical date and lot codes.
