Summary : This section examines the vendors who supply semiconductor manufacturing equipment. There are approximately 534 of them. The top five are shown below in Figure 2.0.0-1. In 1989, these five companies held a 26.4% share of the semiconductor equipment market. The market share for the top five equipment suppliers was virtually unchanged over the 1988 figure, 26.3%. Japan-based firms hold four of the top five position in 1989, as compared to only three in 1988. These are: Tokyo Electron Ltd., Nik ... See More
