A data collection system for semiconductor manufacturing includes: T substrate processing tools, where each of the T substrate processing tools includes: N processing chambers, where each of the N processing chambers includes a processing chamber controller configured to receive a plurality of different types of data during operating of the corresponding one of the N processing chambers, where the plurality of different types of data have different formats, where the processing chamber controller is further configured to format the plurality of different types of data into formatted data, and where T and N are integers; and a data diagnostic services computer configured to: receive and store the formatted data as categories in a common file having a table-like data structure including rows with contextual data; and in response to a request, generate an output file including a subset of the data from the common file.
