Abstract: Methods and systems for sharing information related to operational metrics of a plurality of equipment used in manufacturing of semiconductor wafer includes interfacing a server with the equipment to allow the server to receive a plurality of parameters including operational metrics associated with operation of each of the plurality of equipment. The plurality of parameters are processed to identify event-related data, message-related data and to generate human-readable interpretation for the identified event-related data and the message related data. Users are identified for receiving the operational metrics of each of the plurality of equipment. The event-related data, message-related data and the corresponding human-readable interpretation for the operational metrics associated with each of the equipment are forwarded to a social network service for performing a posting operation to social data streams associated with the identified users.

Abstract: A method for establishing a virtual tether between a mobile device and a semiconductor processing tool, the method including: obtaining, by a mobile device, a unique key associated with the semiconductor processing tool; establishing a unique pairing between the mobile device and the semiconductor processing tool based on the unique key that is obtained by the mobile device; in response to successfully establishing the unique pairing, authenticating a user of the mobile device for access to the semiconductor processing tool; in response to successfully authenticating the user, performing resource arbitration on the semiconductor processing tool which includes reserving one or more resources associated with the semiconductor processing tool based on a level of access granted to the user; monitoring an activity level of the mobile device over a period of time; and comparing the activity level to a predetermined activity level threshold.
