KLA Corporation builds process control, inspection, metrology and yield management systems used across semiconductor manufacturing worldwide.
4010 K-T CORP ISRAEL is part of KLA Corporation, a company founded in 1976 that develops process control and yield management solutions for semiconductor manufacturing. Its portfolio spans automated defect inspection systems, advanced inspection tools, metrology systems, process control solutions, and computational analytics built on machine learning and data analytics. The company traces its origins to a technical need in wafer fabrication: its founders, Ken Levy and Bob Anderson, developed inspection systems that detect defects during chipmaking and help manufacturers improve yield rates.
The technical work is broad and fundamental, covering electron optics, photon optics, optical inspection, metrology, and machine learning. Products are used across logic chips, memory chips, specialty semiconductors and advanced packaging. KLA states that its process control solutions enable virtually every electronic device in the world to be manufactured.
The company employs over 15,000 people across multiple continents and reinvests approximately 15% of sales into research and development. Its stated mission centres on advancing Moore's Law and enabling next-generation electronics.
