About KLA
Website ↗KLA Corporation, together with its subsidiaries, provides process control and process-enabling solutions for manufacturing wafers, reticles/masks, chemicals/materials, integrated circuits (ICs), packaged ICs, and printed circuit boards. It operates through three segments: Semiconductor Process Control; Specialty Semiconductor Process; and PCB and Component Inspection. The company offers inspection and review tools to identify, locate, characterize, review, and analyze defects on various surfaces of patterned and unpatterned wafers; chemical process control equipment; wired and wireless sensor wafers and reticles; wafer defect inspection, review, and metrology systems; reticle inspection and metrology systems; wafer inspection and metrology systems; semiconductor software solutions; KLA Pro systems; and specialty semiconductor manufacturing, benchtop metrology, surface characterization, m…
Gate-all-around transistors, backside power and HBM stacking add process steps. More steps per wafer means more tool spend per unit of capacity.
What would prove us wrong. Weakens if WFE growth stalls while leading-node and HBM capacity keep expanding — tools would not be the gate.
