Maximized Productivity

Nova Hub accelerates fleet setup and improves tool availability with offline recipe creation, streamlined orchestration, and flexible utilization. The result is shorter cycle times and reduced downtime across distributed metrology operations.

Centralized Control

A single, unified environment manages recipes, cross‑tool execution, data storage, performance tracking, and operational oversight—giving engineers complete control over fleet behavior from a single intuitive interface.

Optimized Operations

Automated cross‑fleet actions and simplified workflows reduce human intervention, eliminate repetitive error‑prone tasks, and support smarter maintenance planning for smoother day‑to‑day operations.

Faster Insights

Comprehensive tool and recipe health reports, measurement results, and operational metrics provide rapid visibility into anomalies, enabling quicker troubleshooting and targeted corrective actions.

Engineered for AI

Powered by a GPU‑based server architecture, Nova Hub delivers robust data management, high‑performance computing, and advanced analytics. Kubernetes automation ensures scalable, resilient deployment and efficient application management.

Why Nova Hub?

FleetBoost 
The ultimate toolbox to quickly and efficiently get your fleet up and running optimally while providing full visibility to its measurement data in real time.  It includes:
 
Recipe Builder 
A wizard-based application to rapidly build recipes from existing ingredients. Off-tool and without wafers. 

Recipe Management System (RMS) 
Enables effortless distribution when updates occur and simplifies tracking and rolling back changes. 

SMatch (Tool Matching) 
Enable the selective adjustment of a recipe of specific tools to achieve a fully matched, uniformly operating fleet. 

Cross-Tool Injection 
Enables the route of measurement results and spectra between tools to avoid “Lot on Hold” scenarios. 

Advanced Data Analytics 
A central view of the fleet’s measurement data and associated reports that help identify trends and outliers for predictive insights. 

FleetView  
A comprehensive suite of tools and fleet-level operational reports, enabling quality performance tracking, easy troubleshooting, and smart decision-making for corrective actions. 

Tool & Recipe Health Reports 
Health dashboard enabling proactive maintenance and recipe optimization to maximize wafer outs and avoid unscheduled downtime. 

Tool Performance Reports 
Provide insights on wafer handling trends, as well as alignment and measurement retries. 

Fleet Performance Reports 
Provide insights into the fleet loading and capacity, as well as recipe measurement time deviation across all recipes in the fleet. 

Nova Hub Server 
The Nova Hub Server provides the high‑performance foundation for fleet‑level metrology intelligence. Built on GPU‑accelerated compute and Kubernetes automation, it reliably supports AI‑driven analytics and scalable application deployment. Its architecture is designed for high‑availability operation, with redundant server configuration and shared central storage, ensuring continuous data access and resilient performance. 

With robust connectivity, long‑term data retention, cloud‑ready integration, and infrastructure designed for predictive hardware monitoring, the Nova Hub Server gives fabs a dependable, future‑proof platform that keeps metrology operations aligned, efficient, and at peak performance.
