History

The company was incorporated in 1993. In April

2000, the company conducted an initial public of-

fering and its shares were listed for trading on the

NASDAQ, and in 2002, it listed its shares on the

TASE. In 2010, it successfully completed an under-

written public follow-on offering of approximately

$17.0 million in net proceeds. In 2015, it acquired

ReVera Inc., a privately held company headquar-

tered in Santa Clara, California, which develops,

manufactures and sells X-Ray metrology tools for

measurements of thin-films and composition ap-

plications in the semiconductor industry.

Innovative Technology Solutions

The company develops advanced multi-disci-

plinary metrology systems, combining complex

opto-mechanical hardware with advanced optics

and leading edge algorithms, which deliver con-

tinuous innovation for effective process control

throughout the semiconductor fabrication life-

cycle. Nova’s state-of-the-art metrology solutions

are based on several advanced technologies in

various fields of expertise, including spectral re-

flectometry (SR), x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy

(XPS), scatterometry modeling software and high

performance computing. Nova’s product portfo-

lio, which combines high-precision hardware and

cutting-edge software, supports the development

and production of the most advanced devices in

today’s high-end semiconductor market. Nova’s

technical innovation and market leadership en-

able customers to improve process performance,

enhance products’ yields and accelerate time to

market. Additionally, Nova partners with leading

customer R&D centers, academies and research

institutes to co-develop innovative process control

solutions for next generations’ logic and memory

technologies such as FinFET, Nanowires, 3D-NAND

and emerging memory technologies.

Product Portfolio

Nova’s product portfolio is comprised of integrated

and stand-alone metrology platforms suited for di-

mensional, films and material measurements for

process control across multiple semiconductor

manufacturing process steps including lithography,

etch, CMP and deposition.

Optical Metrology Solutions

Nova offers in-line optical integrated and stand-

alone metrology systems. The metrology product

portfolio combinedwith Nova’smodeling algorithm

software, deliver uniquemeasurement capabilities

for the most advanced semiconductor technology

nodes. Nova’s integratedmetrology systems, which

are attached directly to wafer fabrication process

equipment, enable advanced process control (APC)

to monitor and control wafer to wafer variations

of complex high-end CMP and Etch applications

with high productivity and reliability required for

the most advanced logic and memory technology

nodes. Nova is the market leader in the space of

integratedmetrology systemswithmultiple genera-

tions of products.

Nova’s stand-alonemetrology systems are located

in line next to the wafer fabrication process equip-

ment and enable samplingmeasurements of a few

or several wafers received from multiple process

tools in various steps.

The stand-alone systems are utilized to characterize

critical dimensions such aswidth, shape and profile

with high precision and accuracy and are used in

multiple areas of the fab such as photolithography,

etch, CMP and deposition in the most advanced

technology nodes, across all semiconductor lead-

ing customers.

Modeling Software Solutions

The NovaMARSmodeling platform is Nova’s cutting-

edge application and algorithms development solu-

tion which delivers breakthrough performance in

Time-To-Solution (TTS) and accuracy for the most

complex 3D structures such as 3D-NAND memory

cells and FinFET logic structures. NovaMARS sup-

ports Holistic Metrology elements to provide the

most comprehensive algorithmic solution for scat-

terometry application development including Hy-

brid Metrology functionality that combines data

from several different metrology tools in the fab,

such as CDSEM and X-Ray, in order to enhance the

overall metrology solution performance.

Materials and TF Measurements

Nova’s materials metrology stand-alone platform

is a highly capable, fully automated in-line solu-

tion that utilizes X-Ray PhotoelectronSpectroscopy

(XPS) and X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) technologies for

measurement of composition and film thickness of

complex, multi-layer film stacks in themost critical

fabrication process steps for the most advanced

semiconductor device applications.

Community Relations

Nova is proud to help build a better and stronger

community, through mentoring and tutoring proj-

ects for non-profit organizations.

Nova community strategy is to promote science cu-

riosity and knowledge among youth. The company

partners with several associations, and together,

invest in several unique programs, such as teach-

ing unprivileged children robotics and computer

programing Lego.
