Migdal HaEmek

KLA Migdal HaEmek (MH) includes units which provide solutions to the challenge of measuring and controlling advanced semiconductor lithography, the driving force behind the digital information society. Our employees conceive, design, manufacture and service the most advanced metrology systems for sale to the biggest chip makers in the world. These systems measure the geometries and positions of the tiniest imaginable features, up to a mere 20 nanometers across, with precision smaller than the width of a single silicon atom.

GOPS (Global Operations)

Ori Tadmor, President of KLA Israel and VP Operations

KLA has manufacturing sites across the globe, including Belgium, China, Germany, Israel, Singapore and Milpitas (CA). The Global Operations (GOPS) team, comprised of Manufacturing, Supply Chain Management, Manufacturing Engineering and Quality, is responsible for manufacturing our leading-edge technology. We partner with our world-wide supply base and our design engineering teams to bring new products to market. The GOPS team is continuously working to build our products, Better, Faster, Cheaper.

OMD (Optical Metrology Division)

Ido Dolev, PhD, OMD VP/ General Manager

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 Semiconductor Process Control, which is responsible for creating all of KLA’s metrology and inspection products, is looking for the best and the brightest research scientists, software engineers, application development engineers, and senior product technology process engineers.

The Optical Metrology Division products are used for overlay metrology measurements and control. The portfolio of products includes unique solution packages which are based on hardware and software systems to enhance yield and effectiveness. As a world leader in its field of expertise, the division's products are the most advanced in performance (measurement accuracy of nanometers and below), reliability, ease of use and compatibility with other KLA's products. Its products are used by every major semiconductor manufacturer around the world. semiconductor manufacturers’ requirements. Our engineers and designers optimize our automation solutions for performance and efficiency to operate in the most challenging semiconductor fab environments.
