"KLA-Tencor delivered solid results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2014, demonstrating our market leadership and strong operational execution," commented Rick Wallace, President and CEO of KLA-Tencor. "Semiconductor device manufacturers are facing enormous challenges in transitioning from planar to 3D transistor structures and in implementing new process technologies at the leading edge such as multi-patterning lithography. Although the semiconductor capital equipment industry is currently experiencing a pause in demand after a strong initial ramp of some of these new technologies, we remain focused on partnering with our customers to address yield issues associated with these ramps."
