KLA Corporation (Nasdaq: KLAC) develops and manufactures advanced process control, metrology, and inspection systems for the semiconductor and related nanoelectronics industries. The company offers a broad portfolio of products and services, including optical and electron beam inspection systems; reticle inspection and metrology systems; chemical management and wafer cleaning systems; process control software; and data analytics and machine learning solutions such as Klarity, Candela, and Surfscan platforms. KLA serves major semiconductor manufacturers and related industries worldwide, with operations spanning North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and other regions; founded in 1997 through the merger of KLA Instruments and Tencor Instruments, it is headquartered in Milpitas, California.
