## Products & services

Nova develops metrology and process-control systems for semiconductor manufacturing. Its optical critical-dimension products include the integrated Nova i Platform and stand-alone Nova T-platform, MMSR, VeloCD, Prism, SemDex and WMC systems. They measure critical dimensions, thin films, wafer topography, thickness and roughness using techniques including spectrophotometry, scatterometry, reflectometry, imaging and interferometry. [2](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=T17294388)

Its materials-metrology products include Nova VeraFlex, which uses X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and X-ray fluorescence to measure thin-film composition; Nova Metrion, which uses secondary-ion mass spectrometry for composition depth profiling; and Nova Elipson, which uses Raman spectroscopy to measure properties including strain, crystallinity, composition and stress. For chemical process control, Nova Ancolyzer and AncoScene analyze and replenish electroplating processes, while Nova DMR provides solid dosing of specialty metal-oxide materials. Software offerings include Nova MARS for computational modeling, FIT for Films CD Metrology and FIT for Material Metrology, and Nova FM, HPC and QED for fleet management, control and analytics. [2](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=T17294388)

Services include customer and applications support, remote support and online resources, covering process development through the transition to high-volume production. In FY2025, product sales were $705.6 million and services revenue was $175.0 million—approximately 80% and 20% of total revenue, respectively (calculated); both categories grew 31% year over year.
