   An industry organization in September, says the global semiconductor sales were increased 6.5 percent in August, the biggest increase since 1990, this is because the computer, communication and consumer electronics products sales and rebound.

The Semiconductor Industry Association (Semiconductor Association) announced that judge not global Semiconductor sales in September for 144 billion, a 17 percent increase over the same period in 2002. The third quarter earnings 4-3-3 billion dollars, realize the year-on-year growth in the second quarter growth than 17.5%, 1987-1988.

Some main chipmakers performance has shown some kinds products, particularly with consumer spending related product of strong demand. And has just released the United States official economic data also show that for computers and software products such as investment increased 15.4%, which is by far the relevant technology companies have already started spending the most powerful evidence recovery.

The semiconductor industry association spokesman Doug Andrey said, "this news is simply too good".

The semiconductor industry association says, personal computers led to microprocessor and storage chip demand. The PCS accounted for 30% of the total usage semiconductor.

Flash sales also appeared a rapid growth. Such chips are used in cellular phones and digital cameras of the data storage. The digital signal processor and mobile phone sales also appeared growth.

By September's asia-pacific quarter on quarter sales were sharp increase the 19.1% respectively. Japanese sales rose 11%, European sales rose 12%. At the same time for sales growth in the americas 8.6%.

The Semiconductor industry association issued by the global Semiconductor industry data is data organization Trade Statistics collected World Semiconductor 66 companies, to this organization submits the data.
