&nbsp;A book-to-bill of 1.06 means that $106 worth of orders were received for every $100 of product billed for the month.</p> <p style="margin-right: 15px;">The three-month average of worldwide bookings in March 2014 was $1.28 billion. The bookings figure is 1.2 percent lower than the final February 2014 level of $1.30 billion, and is 16.1 percent higher than the March 2013 order level of $1.10 billion.</p> <p style="margin-right: 15px;">The three-month average of worldwide billings in March 2014 was $1.21 billion. The billings figure is 5.9 &nbsp;percent lower than the final February 2014 level of $1.29 billion, and is 22.3 percent higher than the March 2013 billings level of $991.0 million.</p> <p style="margin-right: 15px;">“Bookings levels for North American semiconductor equipment have remained consistent over the last few reports,” said Denny McGuirk, president and CEO of SEMI. &nbsp;"We look to the months ahead for signs of any inflection.”</p> <p style="margin-right: 15px;">The SEMI book-to-bill is a ratio of three-month moving averages of worldwide bookings and billings for North American-based semiconductor equipment manufacturers.
