Timeline of Innovation
Our history of innovation and deep expertise have built a broad portfolio of measurement and inspection solutions that address every requirement and environment. See how it all started from the inception of the Alpha-Step® product line in 1977 through our latest product innovations.
Defect Inspectors
The Candela® inspection systems for compound semiconductors and hard disk drives can help engineers achieve significant yield and process improvements, in applications spanning communications and networking, LEDs, power devices, sensing, solar, photovoltaics and data storage.
Nanoindenters
The KLA Instruments nanoindenter portfolio provides precise, reliable and repeatable testing to characterize static and dynamic mechanical properties of materials, under a wide range of test conditions.
Optical Profilers
The Profilm3D® and Zeta optical profilometers offer fast, non-contact solutions for 3D step height, roughness, and other surface topography measurements, leveraging interferometer and ZDot™ measurement techniques.
Stylus Profilers
The Alpha-Step®, Tencor™ P-series and HRP® stylus profilometers enable high-precision, 2D and 3D surface metrology. The stylus profilers measure step height, roughness, bow and stress with industry-leading stability and reliability for your R&D and production metrology requirements.
Thin-Film Reflectometers
The Filmetrics thin-film reflectometers provide thickness and refractive index measurements of transparent films in seconds, with industry-leading precision.
Service
