Anchor Semiconductor Inc. develops pattern-centric software for semiconductor design and manufacturing yield management. Its product families include D2DB-PM for die-to-database pattern monitoring, PCYM for pattern risk scoring, PCML for machine-learning risk prediction, PWA for process-window analysis, and Advanced Defect Discovery for SEM review sample planning, all built on printed-pattern and design-decomposition databases. These tools help foundries and device makers bridge layout-to-silicon pattern transfer.

Founded in 2000, the company grew its customer base across IDMs, foundries and equipment vendors in Asia and the Americas. KLA Corporation agreed to acquire Anchor Semiconductor for $67.5 million in May 2021 and completed the $80.3 million acquisition on July 1, 2021; the brand continues to operate as part of KLA.
