manufacturing of wafers and reticles, integrated circuits, packaging, printed
circuit boards and flat panel displays. The innovative ideas and devices that
are advancing humanity all begin with inspiration, research and development. KLA
focuses more than average on innovation and we invest 15% of sales back into
R&D. Our expert teams of physicists, engineers, data scientists and
problem-solvers work together with the world’s leading technology providers to
accelerate the delivery of tomorrow’s electronic devices. Life here is exciting
and our teams thrive on tackling really hard problems. There is never a dull
moment with us.
Group/Division
With over 40 years of semiconductor process control experience, chipmakers
around the globe rely on KLA to ensure that their fabs ramp next-generation
devices to volume production quickly and cost-effectively. Enabling the movement
towards advanced chip design, KLA's Global Products Group (GPG), which is
responsible for creating all of KLA’s metrology and inspection products, is
looking for the best and the brightest research scientist, software engineers,
application development engineers, and senior product technology process
engineers. First to deliver the best imaging and classification data for every
defect or point on any layer at any time. EBeam’s mission encapsulates its role
as the “eyes” of KLA’s product line, providing timely information on defects and
critical locations on the wafer at the highest spatial resolution possible.
Customers use EBeam products alongside KLA patterned and bare wafer inspectors
to quickly understand the nature of defects and other imperfections on product
wafers and take action to correct the manufacturing process.
