About KLA Corporation
KLA makes process control equipment for chip factories. Its inspection tools look for defects on wafers and masks, and its metrology tools measure features that are only a few nanometers wide, so manufacturers can catch problems early and improve yield, the share of working chips per wafer. The current company formed in 1997 when KLA Instruments merged with Tencor Instruments to create KLA-Tencor, which was later renamed KLA Corporation. It is based in Milpitas, California.
KLA Corporation was founded in 1976 and is based in Milpitas, CA, United States. It is listed under Custom Silicon.

Custom Silicon
Custom silicon means a company designs its own chips for its own products or data centers instead of buying standard parts. The chip is made by a foundry such as TSMC, but the design belongs to the customer.
