General information

KLA Corporation makes equipment for the semiconductor industry. Its systems provide process control and yield management for the production of computer chips and other nanoelectronics. Chip factories use KLA's tools to check and improve how their manufacturing process is working. KLA Corporation is based in Milpitas, California.

KLA was created in 1997, when KLA Instruments, founded in 1975, merged with Tencor, founded in 1976. The company is publicly traded on the Nasdaq stock exchange under the ticker KLAC. It employs about 15,000 people as of 2025. That places KLA among a small group of companies whose equipment nearly every modern chip factory depends on. Historically, the median salary is ~$204,000. KLA Corporation is a top-tier H-1B sponsor.¹
