Lately, I have been interviewing for jobs and got a couple of offers. I chose one over the other because it was a full-time position instead of an internship. The catch is, at the company I turned down, I interviewed with a girl who I found attractive and thought I had a good connection with.... Show More
Most Helpful Girl
I think it would be okay.. you guys are not associated really on a professional level because you DID turn the job down, and all that happened was an interview. I would say wait a little bit first, though it is a bit odd to have an email saying, "Hi thanks for taking the time to interview me, can I get your number" (I know you're not going to phrase it like that, but just the meaning in general lol)
but yes, if you want to get to know her more, contact her outside of work. I think it would be hard no matter what, to approach it in a way that bridge the gap between professional and personal.

Funny: In Plain Sight
- What happens to the meth.
- In season 3 episode "Whistle Stop":
Mary: You're...verbally impotent.Marshall: [looks pained] I swear this has never happened to me before.
- In a season 4 episode, Mary gets impatient while her charge admits his love for a long-time flame, who he was set to testify against. She completely skewers the entire "Can Not Spit It Out love reveal" process.
- In Season 5's "Drag Me to Hell," Marshall goes undercover as the witness for a sting operation. The thing is, the wit happens to be a Drag Queen who keeps performing at clubs despite the threat to his life. Hilarity Ensues as Marshall the Recursive Crossdresser sings a rather impressive rendition of "I Will Survive." Then the Big Bad shows up...
- Mary's speech to her family when Brandi is revealed to be involved in drug trafficking listing why she's better than them.
- Mary, recovering from being shot is running as fast as she can after the man who shot her, who is also recovering from a gun shot. . . and Marshall is strolling along, looking completely unfazed and very amused.
Marshall: This is like a trailer for a movie called 'Geriatric Marshal'.

Methane is a potent greenhouse gas—34 times more potent than carbon dioxide. In our battle against climate change, we need to limit methane's release into the atmosphere, which is exactly what the EPA's methane rules, released earlier this week, attempt to do. But as documented in our recently released fact sheet, we can do more with methane than just limit its release. In fact, in the case of landfills, we can actually optimize methane production and capture it as a low-carbon biofuel. I'll have much more to say about reducing climate emissions from the oil and gas sector over the next several months—stay tuned—but for now, let's talk trash. Read More

Clearing the First Hurdle: Regaining Momentum for Federal Fuels Policy
July 22nd, 2015
There are no quick or easy answers, but the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) proposal to get the Renewable Fuels Standard back on track is balanced and flexible. It will take more than one rulemaking process to clean up our fuel system, but the EPA's proposal is a good start, helping accelerate the transition from oil to clean, renewable alternatives.

Interview with Harvard's James Stock: Navigating a Sensible Middle Path Forward on the Renewable Fuel Standard
July 9th, 2015
Earlier this month I had the chance to sit down with Professor James Stock of Harvard University to discuss the future of biofuels and the key federal policy governing them, the Renewable Fuels Standard (RFS).
Professor Stock served as a member of President Obama's Council of Economic Advisors in 2013 and 2014. He was deeply involved in deliberations about the RFS during his tenure, and it was in that context that I first met him, back in October 2013, when I went to the White House to offer perspective on how best to implement the RFS.

Major Surgery or Physical Therapy? Why Stability, Balance and Flexibility are the Right Prescription to Put the Renewable Fuel Standard Back on Track
March 13th, 2015
The Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) is in rough shape after a couple years of controversy and uncertainty, and some critics are calling for the removal of major elements of the policy. But the RFS is needed to maintain steady progress on clean fuels, and such invasive surgery is the wrong prescription to fix what ails it. Instead something like physical therapy is required.

Is Small Farmers' Firewood Use Burning up the Forests?
February 26th, 2015
For many years, small farmers in developing countries have been blamed for deforestation because of the way that they make breakfast. While in developed countries nearly everyone cooks with fossil fuels, or with electricity generated by fossil fuels or hydroelectricity, in developing countries firewood still predominates, especially among the poorest people in rural areas. But is this really an important driver of deforestation—and thus a major contributor to global warming? A new study—the most in-depth and comprehensive look at the subject yet—says no.
Low Carbon Fuels: How Clean Fuels Can Power the West Coast and Beyond
February 2nd, 2015
UCS-commissioned research released today is the latest to find that, with stable policies, we can achieve ambitious clean fuels goals. Recent publications from UC Davis, the International Council on Clean Transportation and E4Tech have drawn similar conclusions. As California prepares to readopt their 2010 Low Carbon Fuel Standard, we are seeing clear evidence that diverse types of clean fuel can be make a significant contribution to cutting oil use and transportation carbon pollution.

How Oregon Can Fill Up On Clean Fuels
January 30th, 2015
Something big is brewing in Oregon. No, it's not a new IPA from Portland-based Bridgeport Brewery—though that sounds delightful. It's the next phase of Oregon's Clean Fuel Program, a forward-thinking regulation that requires transportation fuel to get steadily cleaner on average, ultimately achieving a 10 percent reduction in carbon emissions per unit of fuel in 10 years. Extending this rule is a big deal because approximately one-third of Oregon's greenhouse gases come from transportation, and Oregon has the in-state resource potential to produce significant amounts of clean fuels.

The Latest on Biofuels and Land Use: Progress to Report, but Challenges Remain
January 23rd, 2015
Carbon pollution caused indirectly by the increasing use of crops to produce biofuels has been a contentious topic for the last 7 years. In this post I look back at what we have learned since then about indirect land use change (ILUC) emissions, as this phenomena is generally called. The headline 7 years ago – that crop-based biofuels are far worse than fossil fuels – no longer holds. Read More

Chinese learning tools and resources worth paying for
This article introduced the few tools and resources I think you should consider paying for when learning Chinese. The first list contains things you really should pay for, the second of things I recommend paying for, but which aren't strictly necessary. Do you agree? Which things do you think worth paying for?Read →
The illusion of advanced learning and what to do about it
How much Chinese will you know when you have finished a certain textbook? Less than you think! In this article, I discuss the danger of relying too much on one textbook series and the importance of broadening your knowledge rather than making it advanced in just a few, small areas.Read →
Why you should read Chinese on your phone
Reading Chinese in this digital age is a lot easier than it used to, but it's actually even easier than many students think.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a night vision system, and more particularly to an improved photocathode for use in a night vision image intensifier tube.
2. Description of the Related Art
Night vision systems are commonly used by military and law enforcement personnel for conducting operations in low light or night conditions. Night vision systems are also used to assist pilots of helicopters or airplanes in flying at night.
A night vision system converts the available low intensity ambient light to a visible image. These systems require some residual light, such as moon or star light, in which to operate. The ambient light is intensified by the night vision scope to produce an output image which is visible to the human eye. The present generation of night vision scopes utilize image intensification technologies to intensify the low level of visible light and also make visible the light from the infra-red spectrum. The image intensification process involves conversion of the received ambient light into electron patterns and projection of the electron patterns onto a phosphor screen for conversion of the electron patterns into light visible to the observer. This visible light is then viewed by the operator through a lens provided in the eyepiece of the system.
The typical night vision system has an optics portion and a control portion. The optics portion comprises lenses for focusing on the desired target, and an image intensifier tube. The image intensifier tube performs the image intensification process described above, and comprises a photocathode to convert the light energy into electron patterns, a micro channel plate to multiply the electrons, a phosphor screen to convert the electron patterns into light, and a fiber optic transfer window to invert the image. The control portion comprises the electronic circuitry necessary for controlling and powering the optical portion of the night vision system.
The limiting factor of the image intensification tube is the photocathode. The most advanced photocathodes are the third generation, or Gen 3 tubes, which have a long wavelength spectral response cut-off which corresponds to light having a wavelength of 940 nanometers. Thus, infra-red light having wavelengths above that range cannot be seen using the Gen 3 tube. Since there is an abundance of night sky radiation in the longer wavelengths, and various ground elements, such as foliage, have high reflectance at those wavelengths, it would be desirable for a night vision system to be able to receive those wavelengths. In addition, laser beams used by potentially hostile forces for targeting purposes operate at wavelengths of 1060 nanometers, and it would be particularly desirable for a night vision system to be able to detect these laser beams.
It has long been hypothesized by those skilled in the art that a photocathode having an indium-gallium-arsenide (InGaAs) active layer would provide the desired response characteristics. To date, InGaAs had only been used in the reflection mode and not in the transmission mode. Reflection mode refers to a usage of a semiconductor photocathode material in which electrons are emitted from a surface of the semiconductor in response to light energy striking the same surface. Reflection mode usage is typical in semiconductor cathodes housed inside vacuum tubes. Transmission mode refers to a usage of a semiconductor photocathode in which light energy strikes a first surface and electrons are emitted from an opposite surface. Photocathodes as used in modern night vision systems operate in the transmission mode. Reflection mode semiconductors are not suited for use as a photocathode in a compact image intensification tube, since the usage requires the emitted electrons to exit from the photocathode at an end opposite to that which the light energy first engaged the photocathode.
However, despite great effort by government and industry technical personnel, a transmission mode InGaAs photocathode could not be manufactured. Designers were not only unable to make the InGaAs layer thin enough to be effective in the transmission mode, but were also unable to make the layer supported with an optical window layer necessary for the photocathode. For a transmission mode photocathode, an active layer thickness of 1 micrometer or less is required to achieve the desired response; however, reflection mode InGaAs layers are typically formed to a thickness of approximately 10 micrometers. The thin and high crystalline quality layers required could not be produced since the InGaAs layer would not be adequately grown to a gallium-arsenide substrate used in manufacturing the semiconductor wafer structure. Moreover, the designers could not match the crystal lattice structure of the InGaAs layer with the other semiconductor layers required in a transmission mode photocathode. Due to these difficulties, most efforts to develop an InGaAs photocathode were ultimately abandoned.
Thus, it would be desirable to provide an improved photocathode structure capable of receiving wavelengths in excess of 940 nanometers. It would be further desirable to provide a photocathode structure utilizing an InGaAs active layer. It would be further desirable to provide a method of manufacturing a photocathode structure capable of responding to wavelengths in excess of 940 nanometers. It would be still further desirable to provide a method of manufacturing a photocathode structure having an InGaAs active layer.
Accordingly, a principal object of the present invention is to provide an improved photocathode structure for use in a night vision system capable of responding to wavelengths of light in excess of 940 nanometers. Another object of the present invention is to provide a photocathode structure utilizing an InGaAs active layer. Still another object of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing a photocathode structure capable of responding to wavelengths in excess of 940 nanometers. Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a method of manufacturing a photocathode structure having an InGaAs active layer.
To achieve the foregoing objects, and in accordance with the purpose of this invention, the improved photocathode for use in a night vision system comprises a glass face plate, an aluminum-indium-arsenide (AlInAs) window layer bonded to the face plate and having an anti-reflection layer and a protection layer, an indium-gallium-arsenide (InGaAs) active layer epitaxially grown to the window layer, and a chrome electrode bonded to the face plate, the window layer, and the active layer providing an electrical contact between the photocathode and the night vision system.
In accordance with one embodiment, the present invention provides a photocathode for use in an image intensifier tube, comprising an active layer formed from InGaAs, a window layer epitaxially formed with the active layer, an anti-reflective coating applied to the window layer, a protective coating applied to the anti-reflective coating, a glass face plate thermally bonded onto the protective coating, and an electrode bonded to edges of the face plate, the window layer and the active layer. The electrode provides a contact for electrical connection between the photocathode and the image intensifier tube. A light image illuminated into the face plate results in a corresponding electron image pattern emitted from the active layer.
The method for manufacturing a transmission mode photocathode in accordance with the present invention comprises the steps of epitaxially growing a buffer layer of GaAs/InGaAs on a base substrate of GaAs, epitaxially growing a stop layer of AlInAs on the buffer layer, epitaxially growing an active layer of InGaAs on the stop layer, epitaxially growing a window layer of AlInAs on the active layer, epitaxially growing an InGaAs top layer on the window layer, etching away the top layer to expose the window layer, laying down a first layer of silicon nitrate on the window layer, laying down a layer of silicon dioxide on the window layer, heating the entire structure to a high temperature, bonding glass to the silicon dioxide layer, removing the substrate layer using selective etching techniques, removing the stop layer using selective etching techniques, and attaching a chrome electrode using thin film deposition techniques.
A more complete understanding of the improved InGaAs photocathode for use in night vision systems of the present invention will be afforded to those skilled in the art, as well as a realization of additional advantages and objects thereof by a consideration of the following detailed description of the preferred embodiment. Reference will be made to the appended sheets of drawings which will be first described briefly.

Law enforcement and military forces operating during conditions of near or total darkness have a critical need for night vision systems capable of receiving wavelengths of light in excess of 940 nanometers. Referring first to FIG. 1, there is shown the elements of a night vision system. As will be further described below, the night vision system allows the observer 5 to see tree 30 during conditions of darkness, and even to enlarge the image to form the virtual image of the tree 38.
A night vision system comprises an objective lens 14, a focusing lens 12, and an image intensifier tube 10 between the focusing lens and the objective lens. The image intensifier tube 10 comprises a photocathode 20, a microchannel plate (MCP) 24, a phosphor screen 26 and a fiber optic invertor 28. Ambient light reflected off of tree 30 passes through the objective lens 14 which focuses the light image onto the photocathode 20. It should be apparent that image 32 on the photocathode 20 is inverted after passing through the objective lens 14. The photocathode 20 is formed from a semi-conductor material, such as gallium-arsenide (GaAs). The photocathode 20 has an active surface 22 which emits electrons in response to the focused optical energy in a pattern representing the inverted visual image received through the objective lens 14. The emitting electrons are shown pictorially in FIG. 1 as the plurality of arrows leaving active surface 22. The photocathode 20 is sensitive to certain infra-red light wavelengths as well as light in the visible spectrum, so that electrons are produced in response to the infra-red light which passes through the objective lens and reaches the photocathode 20.
Electrons emitted from the photocathode 20 gain energy through an electric field applied between the photocathode and the microchannel plate 24, and pass through the microchannel plate. The microchannel plate 24 consists of a disk of parallel hollow glass fibers, each of which having a primary cylindrical axis oriented slightly off from the direction of emitted electrons from photocathode 20. The microchannel plate 24 multiplies the number of electrons by multiple cascades of secondary electrons emitted through the channels by loading a voltage across the two faces of the microchannel plate.
The multiplied electrons from the microchannel plate 24 exit the microchannel plate and are energized by a high voltage electric field provided between the microchannel plate and the phosphor screen 26. The electrons strike the phosphor screen 26, which reacts with the electrons, and generates a visible light image corresponding to the image received through objective lens 14. It should be apparent that the phosphor screen 26 acts as a means for converting the electron pattern generated by photocathode 20 to a visible light image of the received image, and that image is shown pictorially at 34 of FIG. 1.
The image 34 from phosphor screen 26 is transmitted through fiber optic invertor 28 to rotate the image to the proper configuration for the observer 5, as shown at 36. The fiber optic invertor 28 is formed from a twisted bundle of optical fibers. Optical fibers are used rather than an ordinary inverting lens to minimize all loss of light energy which would ordinarily exit through the sides of a typical lens. An observer 5 will see a correctly oriented output image 36 through focusing lens 12 as a virtual image 38. In FIG. 1, a virtual image 38 can be magnified in size due to the magnification power of objective lens 14.
The spectral response of the night vision system is largely dependent upon the photocathode 20. Referring next to FIG. 2, there is shown a typical spectral response curve comparing semiconductor materials for use in a photocathode. The Gen 3 tube using GaAs and the Gen 2 tube using tri-alkali material, are commonly used in the art. The graph shows that their long wavelength spectral response cuts off at a maximum of approximately 940 nanometers of wavelength. However, a photocathode structure using indium-gallium-arsenide (InGaAs) semiconductor material in the active layer would extend the spectral response out to a cutoff of 1,060 nanometers of wavelength.
FIG. 3 further shows that as the indium concentration within the InGaAs compound is increased, the long wavelength cutoff of the photocathode can be extended. The compound composition is determined by varying the atomic fraction x of indium in the compound Inx Ga1-x As. It should be apparent that the long wavelength cutoff desired by the photocathode can be tailored by varying the compound composition.
A photocathode 20 formed from InGaAs material is schematically shown in FIG. 4. Glass face plate 58 is provided at the top of the drawing, forming the surface of the photocathode 20 closest in proximity to objective lens 14. Below face plate 58, a coating 56 is provided. The coating 56 comprises a layer of silicon nitrate to provide anti-reflection, and a layer of silicon dioxide for protection. The coating 56 prevents light energy from reflecting out of face plate 58. Next, a window layer 52 is provided to support the active layer as described below. The window layer 52 is formed from aluminum-indium-arsenide (AlInAs) semiconductor material, and acts as a filter to prevent light having shorter wavelengths from passing to active layer 48. Active layer 48 is formed from InGaAs, and converts the optical image received to the electron patterns described above.
The cylindrical edges of the entire photocathode structure 20 is covered by chrome electrode 62. Chrome electrode 62 has an annular surface which is formed to the edges of the glass face plate 58, the coating 56, the window layer 52, and the active layer 48. The chrome electrode 62 provides an electrical connection between the photocathode and the other components of the image intensifier tube 10 described above.
To manufacture a photocathode using InGaAs semiconductor material, a semiconductor wafer must first be formed. A semiconductor wafer utilizing InGaAs is shown schematically in FIG. 5. First, a GaAs substrate 42 is used as a base layer. GaAs is commercially available and preferred since it provides a low defect density single crystal wafer. As will be further described below, the additional layers are epitaxially grown on top of the GaAs substrate 42. The growth conditions need to be optimized for the required composition, dopant level, thickness controls, and also for a high crystalline quality in the layers and at the interface regions, as commonly known in the art.
A buffer layer 44 is then epitaxially grown on the substrate layer 42. The purpose of the buffer layer 44 is to provide a transition between the substrate layer 42, and the subsequent layers, which will be described below. This transition effectively reduces the crystal quality degradation due to the lattice mismatch between the substrate 42 and the crystal layers which will be placed above the substrate layer. The buffer layer 44 also acts to prevent impurities in the substrate layer 42 from diffusing upward into the other semiconductor layers.
There are two techniques available to form the buffer layer 44: the "graded" technique and the "super lattice" technique. The graded technique comprises starting with the GaAs substrate 42, and gradually increasing the percentage of indium in the InGaAs compound during growth of the buffer layer 44. The percentage would increase from 0% to the percentage corresponding with the optimum compound concentration of the active layer 48, which will be described below. Using the graded technique, a total buffer layer 44 thickness of 4 to 5 micrometers is achieved.
The super lattice technique comprises growing extremely thin alternating layers of GaAs and InGaAs, in the same atomic concentration as will be used in the active layer compound, which will be further described below. Each of these individual layers could be as thin as 100 to 150 angstroms, and there could be as many as 10 of each individual layers. Thus, using the super lattice technique, a buffer layer thickness of as little as 0.3 micrometers can be achieved. In addition, the buffer layer 44 can be grown much more quickly using the super lattice technique than in the graded technique, reducing the total time required to manufacture the photocathode. Accordingly, the super lattice technique is preferred over the graded technique.
On top of the buffer layer 44, a stop layer 46 is epitaxially grown. Since the substrate and buffer layers 42 and 44 will be ultimately removed by an etching technique, as will be further described below, the stop layer 46 provides a boundary to prevent further etching into the subsequent layers. The crystal lattice parameter of the stop layer compound can be adjusted by varying the atomic fraction y of indium in the compound Al1-y Iny As. In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, atomic fraction y is adjusted so that the AlInAs lattice matches the crystal lattice of the active layer 48.
The active layer 48 is then epitaxially grown on top of the stop layer 46, to a thickness of approximately 2 micrometers. The active layer 48 is formed from a compound of InGaAs in which the percentage of indium is tailored to determine the photo response cutoff, as shown in the drawing of FIG. 3. Efficient negative electron affinity InGaAs photocathodes can be obtained with a compound composition range of less than 0.2 atomic fraction of indium. The compound is doped with a P-type impurity such as Zn or Cd, approximately 1019 atoms per cubic centimeter level. The thickness of the active layer 48 is anticipated to be approximately 2 micrometers. This thickness will be subsequently reduced, as will be described below, to optimize it to maximize the photocathode's response, or for a special requirement in the spectral sensitivity distribution.
A window layer 52 is then epitaxially grown onto active layer 48. In the completed structure, light can be transmitted through the window layer 52 onto the active layer 48. The window layer 52 acts as a filter to eliminate the undesired higher frequencies (shorter wavelengths) of light from reaching the active layer 48. The window layer 52 has the same chemical composition as the stop layer 46 and is determined for its lattice match to the crystal lattice of the InGaAs active layer 48. This lattice match is critical to the operation of the photocathode; if there is a mismatch between the layers, crystalline defect density in the grown layers would increase. The window layer 52 is doped in the P-type, preferably at the 1018 atoms per cubic centimeter level. The optical transmission cutoff for the window layer 52 can be achieved by adjusting the composition of window layer 52. It is preferred that an atomic fraction y of 0.2 be provided to achieve a cutoff of 600 nanometers and that a thickness of 1 micrometer be provided to obtain sufficient light transmission and adequate physical support.
Finally, a top layer 54 of InGaAs is epitaxially grown onto window layer 52. The top layer 54 is necessary to protect the intermediate layers during cool-down of the wafer structure 40. It is further intended to provide protection to the window layer 52 so as to prevent impurities from settling onto the window layer.
Once the wafer 40 has been formed and permitted to cool, the top layer 54 is etched away to expose the window layer 52. A selective etching agent for removing the InGaAs would be selected, as commonly known in the art.
After the top layer 54 is removed, a coating 56 is applied onto the upper surface of the window layer 52. The coating is best shown in FIG. 4, which represents a cross-section of the final completed cathode 20. The preferred embodiment of the coating 56 comprises a first layer of silicon nitrate, followed by a second layer of silicon dioxide. The silicon nitrate provides an anti-reflective surface to prevent ambient light from reflecting off of the photocathode 20. This ensures that the majority of the ambient light received by the night vision system is processed within the image intensifier tube 10. The silicon dioxide provides a protective layer above the silicon nitrate. A thickness of 1000 angstroms for each coating is preferred.
The wafer 40 with the top layer 54 removed and the coating 56 applied, is then heated up to a temperature of a few tenths of a degree centigrade below the glass softening point. Using thermal compression bonding techniques commonly known in the art, a glass face plate 58 is thermally bonded to the wafer 40 as best shown in FIG. 4. In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, glass face plate 58 is formed from Corning 7056 or similar glass, of which the thermal expansion coefficient is sufficiently close to the coefficient of the photocathode material. It should be apparent that the softening point temperature is higher than the temperature used in subsequent processes. The combination is then allowed to cool, with the glass face plate 58 forming a unitary structure with the wafer 40.
Next, the base substrate layer 42 and the buffer layer 44 are removed. An etching agent selected for GaAs is used to remove the substrate layer 42, up to and including the buffer layer 44. Then, a selected etching agent for AlInAs is applied to remove the stop layer 46. Since the active layer 48 typically has interface defects, a thin portion of the active layer 48 is also removed using selective etching techniques. As commonly known in the art, the temperature, time, and etching agent are precisely selected to leave an active layer 48 of less than 1 micrometer, or approximately 0.6 to 0.9 micrometers of thickness, which is adequate for the present state of the art material quality requirement.
Using a thin film technique commonly known in the art, a chrome electrode 62 is then applied to the circumference of the remaining structure, as best shown in FIG. 4. The chrome electrode 62 provides an electrical contact between the photocathode 20 and the other components of image intensifier tube 10.
Before the photocathode 20 can be used in an image intensifier tube 10, the active layer 48 must be sensitized and then activated. To sensitize the active layer 48, any impurities such as gas, moisture, and oxides which may have attached to the surface must be desorbed off. The surface is selectively etched, and then placed into a vacuum chamber. Heat is applied over the photocathode structure to clean the active layer 48 surface.
To activate the active layer 48, cesium vapor and oxygen are evaporated onto the surface. During the evaporation process, an input light source is provided into the face plate 58 and the output current is measured from the electrode 62. As commonly known in the art, the cesium and oxygen elements are evaporated onto the surface until a maximum sensitivity is detected. Once this maximum sensitivity is achieved, the process is stopped, and the photocathode 20 can be sealed into the image intensifier tube 10.
Having thus described a preferred embodiment of a transmission mode InGaAs photocathode for use in a night vision system, it should now be apparent to those skilled in the art that the aforestated objects and advantages for the within system have been achieved. It should also be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various modifications, adaptations, and alternative embodiments thereof may be made within the scope and spirit of the present invention. For example, alternative materials for the substrate and buffer layers could be selected. The dimensions selected for the layer thicknesses could be altered. Alternative techniques for removing the substrate, buffer and stop layers could be applied. Accordingly, the invention is defined by the following claims.

We arrived late at night and were so pleased to have a "Welcome package" of food in the unit for the following morning! The cottage was brand new, immaculate, well stocked with linens and beach towels, too!! For us, the location was super, in a quiet cul-de-sac with no through traffic. The kids could play in the yard while we sat on the deck. The beach was really close and had beautiful sand! …

To Punish and EnslaveThere was no such thing as law enforcers in this world.To Punish and Enslave in Short Stories More Like This
The police did not protect and serve the public.
They did not keep the streets a safe place.
Murderers, Rapists, Robbers, and the corrupt were not arrested.
In this world, the cops were there to punish and enslave.
Kaine was one of many who knew that when you saw red and blue lights flashing, you hid. Immediately. The blond rebel, however, was no stranger to the treatment of the police once captured. Many were amazed that he was still out on the streets. No uniformed ijit could contain him.
On these streets, you either did what you were told: stay in line, don't ask questions, and keep your head down.
Or you work in the shadows to fight against the corrupted. That is what Kaine did. He was an underground citizen, he did not exist in the civilized world.

Blake - GiDIt was late. The entire house was asleep; everyone except for Blake. The boy had woken only an hour or so after falling asleep feeling that something wasn't right. The stable boy threw his legs over the side of his makeshift bed three bundles of hay with some blankets covering it, and pulled on his shoes, pulling his hanging suspenders up over the shoulder of his loose, white cotton shirt as he raked a hand through his messy, nearly shoulder length dirty blond hair. He yawned before he started walking, moving slowly down to the lower section of the barn, making his way to the stables.Blake - GiD in Flash Fiction & Vignettes More Like This
"Come on," he heard a man whisper. "Just get the horse! Fast! Before someone sees." Blake gulped. The voices definitely didn't belong to his master, nor to anyone else who lived in or worked at the large farm house. He tip-toed around the back of the stable, entering into shadows, trying to figure out what was going on. His blue-green eyes widened as he saw three men, all dressed in dark colors, le
Investigation Gone Wrong - GiDJoshua Trager had been helping his father with cases for years, and this time, he had finally taken on one of the investigator's cases for himself. His father was away in China working on tracking a slave ring, and Joshua had been unable to turn away the client who had come in only three days earlier. The person who had gone to see Investigator Trager was a young boy, no older than Joshua himself, named Cole. He had brought with him all of the money he had saved and a picture of his twin brother, who had been missing for only one day. Everyone had told Cole that his brother, Luke, was fine, but Cole insisted that Luke was in trouble, he said that he could feel it, and Joshua couldn't turn the case away, he had promised Cole that he, himself, would find Luke.Investigation Gone Wrong - GiD in Short Stories More Like This

Drew - GiDDrew took a deep breath as he let the pot enter his system. He knew that he shouldn't be in the park after hours and he definitely should have been getting stoned, but he couldn't handle things at home anymore, not the way they had been going. He closed his eyes as he took another hit off of his own clumsily rolled joint, leaning against the tree where he stood. With his eyes closed, he hadn't noticed the uniformed officer walker towards him.Drew - GiD in Flash Fiction & Vignettes More Like This
"Excuse me, what do you think you're doing?" Drew's eyes flew open as he heard the voice, and he dropped the joint, stamping it out quickly with his sneaker.
"Nothing," Drew said hurriedly, pushing some of his black and blond hair from his face, revealing an eyebrow ring.
"I'll need to see some ID."
"Of course." Drew fumbled to produce his wallet and he held out his recently procured driver's license.

A man dressed in black stood in a dark corner on the almost vacant street of LA. Around him cars sped down the street, trying ot get past red lights and swerving around pedestrians. Girls walked in tight clusters down the streets and drunk men stumbled home, whooping at eachother like lunatics. Every now and then the man would pull out his phone to check the time, but remained looking around. His baby blue eyes flickering to everything that seemed to move within 10 feet of him. He wore everything dark, except a belt full of silver studs and a shining golden necklace with a star on it. He ran his hand through his spiked up hair and looked around again, looking for something. Suddenly a car engine roared and pulled up beside him. A black mustang slowed to a stop and rolled down the window. Inside, a man in his late 20s leaned over the arm rest to look at the black clad man. Like him, he was decked in mostly black. A cowboy hat positioned

As I emerged through the door, I looked back at the house. Through the window I could see Ella burying her head into Jake's shoulder. His face was pale and he didn't react. CC picked Ashley off the ground, who immediately ran to the door but didn't open it. I him pounding on it while screaming my name over and over. it made my heart sink and I wanted to go back there...but I couldn't I couldn't let all of them see me again like this...just Ashley.
Painfully, I pushed my translucent body through the garage door and waited.

My mind raced, all sorts of emotions raced through me as I fell back. Was that really Andy? Was I seeing things? Dreaming? Covered my face and wailed in pain, not only because of my tailbone hurting like a bitch but also I wanted him to come back. Why did Andy rum away from us? His smile...was it bad or good? I couldn't think. I could only hear Ella's scream muffled by Jake's shoulder and she started crying. Som

Of course nobody kept Advil around here...Jinxx's Headache - Jakinxxtian in Romance More Like This
The door creaked open, footsteps aproched me. I turned over to see Jake and CC's sillohettes walking towards me. CC stopped and lent over, I could see the whites of his eyes in the darkness.
"Is he awake?" Jake whispered.
"I dunno. Heeey, are you awake?" CC whispered.
I pulled down the blankets enough to show them I was awake. "What?"
CC looked back at Jake, then got on the bed. It creaked under his weight.
"We're going to help you get better." CC giggled, sitting next to my head.
Jake climbed in by CC, sitting in front of him.

My dreams were clouded and full of mind blurring events, I couldn't recall all of them at once but in short episodes. I hated every single one of them, the few I remembered were horrible to me. Reoccurring ones of Andy reaching out to me, being pulled back by some force. His blue eyes filled with fear. I tried to reach out to him, but my body was stuck still. I couldn't move, no matter how much I screamed for him.
Then suddenly I was standing in the middle of nowhere, nothing but hills that seemed to stretch for miles on end. I began to walk, my hands swinging at my sides. Every step I took made the sky darker and the footstep sound deeper, slowly ranging from a mere tap and eventually like clogs on a shallow staircase to thunder strikes that rattled my chest. The sky grew dark and a very, very cold rain picked up, chilling me to my very bones.
"Hello?" I called, holding my arm up to shield myself from the piercing rain and wind. "Hello!?"
The wind spiked my hair straight back, I grunt

We only sat there, curled up on the bed just basking in eachother's presence. We hadn't been like this ins forever, just laying with eachother in the dark. His piercing blue eyes never left mine that night, his glowing figure the only light in the room, my breathing the only sound, the only movement was when we blinked. I pressed my hand against his transparent one, just barely being able to feel him against me. He sighed sadly as he was unable to completly hold my hand as we used to. I missed doing hat so much.
"I missed this." he murmured. "I wish I was an actual human again. With skin and bone and..." he looked up at me. "Not just a bunch of energy and stuff."
"but." he continued "I think I'm only kept here for a reason."
"What happened when you died?" I asked. It felt weird, I mean, you don't usually get to ask someone that. It plucked another string in my heart to remember that Andy was, in fact, dead. He closed his head and sighed as if trying to remember that n

"WADDYA WANT?!" I screamed down the stairs.
"DINNER. C'MON DAD GOT PIZZA!" my sister yelled.
I let out a happy noise and pulled on my pants, I thumped down the stairs shirtless and swung into the kitchen where my dad and sister were standing. My dad had 2 Little Ceasers boxes in his left hand.

"Hey whore." I said, poking her bra strap that was visible hanging off her solder.
"Shut up." she pushed it back into place.

I sat sobbing next to Andy in the ambulance as they worked on him. In the back of my mind I knew their works were in vain, but I still trusted them to do everything they could. Jake sat beside me, letting me cry into his bare shoulder as I heard the medics call to one another in codes I didn't understand. Everything swirled through my head in a blur, nothing made sense. All I knew was I had just watched the love of my life die in my hands, Jake had to pull me away physically and call the police. I had cradled him, still sobbing until they had come to take him in the ambulance. Even then, I faught back.
"NO! He's MINE!" I screamed "You can't have him!"
"Sir, we need to help--"
"NO!" I felt Jake swoop down to drag me away again. "Let go of me jackass! Andy!!"

"Guys....I think we need to call the cops."
All five of us turned to look at Jinxx, who had the most mortified expression I've ever seen on his face. CC leaned over to look at the screen and then turned away, looking sick. I crossed the room to look down over the laptop, but Jinxx closed it and shook his head.
"Ashley....no." he said.
"What is it?" I demanded.
"You already saw it...just, it might mess with you." he swallowed "Its Andy."
I grabbed Jinxx's computer from him. He was right, an animated GIF of the masked man shooting Andy. It was hard to tell it was them though, it was dark and shadowy. The flash of the gun and the 2nd figure--Andy-- dropping to the ground. The 2nd man ran toward the camera and in the background you could see me running to the scene. I scrolled down and saw a few pictures, captioned with comments that were supposedly funny. Below it were even worse pictures, not memes, but of dead people. Some with obvious

It seemed like years passed before I gathered the courage to go back inside the house itself, in fear the others might see me again. I didn't want them to see me, it'd be too much. They'd flip their shit again. Ashley could handle it, he wasn't as scared as the others were, hell he wanted me to stay. I felt his pain in having me go again. His chest ached and his body was numb, he was sad. Depressed even. Yes, I could feel his emotions. Exactly like it was happening to my own body--the body I used to have anyway. The body thats 6 feet under a pile of dirt in a cemetery overlooking a valley, near a church and a few houses blocked in with a black iron gate that went 6 feet tall and a gate that went even higher. The body that lay in the same field with other bodies, rotting away to bones. Bodies whose souls had passed on...but not me.
