 PROFILE
Feeling tense? Not sure your semiconductor wafers are okay? Relax: KLA-Tencor can keep them chip-shape. The company -- formed by the 1997 merger of KLA Instruments and Tencor, the industry niche's two biggest players -- makes tools that identify semiconductor defects during manufacturing. KLA-Tencor's yield management equipment and software monitor and analyze silicon wafers at various stages of chip production, inspecting reticles (which make circuit patterns) and measuring crucial microscopic layers; the systems' feedback allows flaws to be corrected before they ruin the costly wafers. KLA-Tencor gets about two-thirds of sales from outside the US, and continues to expand through small, complementary acquisitions.
