  8. Silicon area grows proportional to semiconductor units, but revenue has been disconnected in the past years. Semiconductor vs. silicon revenue Semiconductor units vs. silicon area (in USD bn per quarter) (in bn units / bn cm² per quarter) 250 20 100 10 18 90 9 200 16 80 8 14 70 7 150 12 60 6 10 50 5 100 8 40 4 6 30 3 50 4 20 2 2 10 1 0 0 0 0 1996 1998 2000 2002 2004 2006 2008 2010 2012 2014 2016 1996 1998 2000 2002 2004 2006 2008 2010 2012 2014 2016 semiconductors (left axis) silicon (right axis) Source: WSTS/SIA, SEMI up to Q3 2016 8 of 17

  9. The average size of semiconductors is very stable over time. Silicon ASP declined more than semiconductor since 2008.

  13. Bit growth is expected to exceed bit density growth in the foreseeable future. This will result in growing wafer demand. 2016-2019 NAND market growth 300mm NAND silicon market, k/m  bit density growth: ~33% CAGR +7% 1.870 (technological progress) 1.760 1.630  bit demand growth: ~40% 1.510 (enabled by lower cost) 1.340 wafer demand growth: ~7% 1.170 960 930  New NAND technology helps increase bit density and reduce costs.  This opens up new applications, and spurs demand growth.  As a result, bit demand grows faster, and more silicon is consumed.

  14. Summary: Industry outlook for 2017 is solid due to healthy GDP growth, new 300 mm fabs / expansions and low inventories.  GDP growth around 3% is driving healthy growth in electronics end markets.  Semiconductor unit demand is steadily growing.  ASP pressure in early 2016 – especially for memory - hampered overall revenue trend.  Memory market started to recover in mid-2016. Prices are increasing, driven by solid SSD growth and higher memory content in mid-range smartphones.  Semiconductor device inventories are considered healthy across the industry.  2016 was a strong year for semiconductor equipment sales, driven by 300mm device fab expansions of our customers and the transition to 3D NAND.  Economic fundamentals are a solid base for healthy 2017 semiconductor growth.  Ongoing 300mm new fab and expansion projects of our customers add to silicon wafer demand.  Unlike typical seasonality, there are no signs of high wafer inventory in late 2016.  2017 is expected to become a good year for the whole industry.
