Previous Challenge Entry (Level 3 - Advanced)
Topic: Illustrate the meaning of "Actions Speak Louder than Words" (without using the actual phrase). (02/21/08)
TITLE: Over the wall...
By Cristy Zinn
But from where Conan sat, he could see the smallest part of the old wall beyond the amphitheatre. There was a small gap between the ceiling and the stage wall and through it, if he squinted, he could see the old bricks in the far field beyond. The speaker�s voice rose and fell in a well rehearsed crescendo but Conan ignored him, he had heard plenty of his kind of message before.
Usually, Conan always sat near the bottom of the amphitheatre but that day he had chosen one of the highest seats. It was a beautiful day and some of the top most rows still caught the sunlight, so he had taken a seat there, leaning back against the empty row behind him and enjoying the warmth of the sun. Now, as he stared at the wall, the speaker�s voice becoming merely a background distraction, he thought he might like to see it for himself. Everyone was engrossed, listening attentively to the well-groomed man on the stage and so, without their noticing, he climbed the last empty rows to the top and slipped away.
The field behind the amphitheatre was badly overgrown. Conan waded through the grasses that reached under his arms and realised that no one had come this way for ages. It surprised him. The speakers often spoke of the world beyond the wall and how much it needed them and the love of the Maker. He remembered some men who had come back from assignments over the wall and when they had spoken in the amphitheatre their voice was full of an unrehearsed passion, almost desperation for them all to join the search over the wall, for those who would like to have that love. Some had nodded their agreement and then gone home, never to think about it again. Never to breech the wall or meet the people who lived there.
The wall was old and crumbling in some places. At one point it was low enough for Conan to see over, if he stood on his tip-toes. He stared a long time, for the world outside the wall seemed very similar to the world inside it. As he began to climb, the stones began to fall away; gently at first and then cascading down, taking him with them. He lay on top of the pile, seeing the huge hole he had made in the wall. He supposed it could be repaired but suddenly he wondered why it was there at all. If the world beyond the wall needed them so badly, why hadn�t they taken the wall down? Why hadn�t they practised what they taught?
Conan worked tirelessly in the noon sun, fuelled by a sudden inclination that the wall should not be there. He dragged away every last stone in the pile until there was a good sized through-fare between the worlds. He stood where the pile had been, staring at the world beyond. It was very much like their own, perhaps a bit more stark but salvageable. A slight woman walked out from the trees a little way off and seeing Conan, she lowered her eyes and began walking in the other direction.
�Wait!� Conan cried and she turned. It was then that she noticed the hole in the wall. Her mouth dropped.
�Would you like to come and visit?� he smiled hesitantly.
The woman eyed him suspiciously, �what have you done to the wall?�
�Broken it.�
�Someone will have to fix that now.�
�Or not,� he grinned and the woman couldn�t help the slight smile that played on her lips.
�You mean, just leave it like that?�
�Then you � and others � could come in� and visit.�
�Are there more like you in there?�
�What do you mean?�
�I mean, kind and friendly? I�ve been told all of you over that wall are a little� well, eccentric.�
�We are a little, I suppose but for a good reason.�
�What�s the reason?�

Antique Sterling English Figural Reindeer Napkin Ring 1903
This is a remarkable item: a figural napkin ring which is sterling. It took an expert silversmith to make this unusual napkin ring. A reindeer pulls the ring on which sits a man with reins and a whip. The ring is English and bears a full set of hallmarks: the sterling symbol, the year it was made 1903, Birmingham, the city in which it was made, and the maker's mark J&C. There is amazing detail in the reindeer, the man, and the manner in which the ring is attached to the reindeer. The length is 4 inches so this ring has significant size. It weighs 1.4 ounces on a postal scale.

Froch: Kessler Hurt Me a Few Times, I Hurt Him More
Carl Froch got his revenge with victory over Denmark's Mikkel Kessler in a unanimous points decision to retain the IBF super middleweight title in a thrilling clash at a packed 02 Arena on Saturday.
The 35-year-old Froch, who lost to Kessler in Denmark three years ago, put on a typically gutsy performance to win with a scorecard that read 115-113, 116-112 and 118-110 in favour of the Nottingham fighter to the delight of the 20,000 crowd.
Froch's record is now 31-2, with his only other defeat coming at the hands of American Andre Ward in Atlantic City in 2011, compared to Kessler's 46-3 after an action-packed fight that saw the Dane hanging on near the end of the final round.
"It feels really good,'' he added. "The only thing that feels bad is that I have had to beat such a real gentleman, a real warrior and real nice man.
"He did hurt me a couple of times; I think everybody saw that. But I hurt him a little bit more and I thought I deserved the win. I thought it was unanimously my fight.
"I was close to getting the stoppage towards the end but, when I went in for the finish, what did he do? He fought back with a couple of big, hard shots. Big respect to him.''
Froch buckled in the 11th, if you watch his feet he actually rolled his ankle from where the shot stunned him. It was a similar shot Kessler buckled him with in the first fight around the 8th round I believe.…Comment by The Surgeon on 05-26-2013

A coronal emission from the sun set off an Aurora Borealis light display seen over most of the northern tier of the United States -- including Michigan -- late last night into this morning.
I feel awful because I failed to get up early like I had planned to view the light show. Thankfully, many in West Michigan packed a camera and shared their beautiful photos on social media.
NASA is reporting that a coronal mass ejection -- it sounds messy, but it's not -- will give Michigan residents a pretty good shot at seeing the Aurora Borealis light up the northern skies tonight, capping St. Patrick's Day with a green light show this evening.
The further north you go, the better your chance of seeing it, but greater Grand Rapids and West Michigan residents may get a view if the skies stay clear, The Grand Rapids Press/MLive Media Group reports.

It's not often you get two classic rock songs written about you, but Pattie Boyd, ex-wife of both George Harrison and Eric Clapton, has that honor.
Harrison penned the 1969 Beatles ballad "Something" about his then wife, Boyd, and Clapton countered with "Layla" in 1970, a song about his secret crush on her.
Boyd is exhibiting a series of candid photos featuring Clapton, Harrison and their musical friends this week in San Francisco.
We all know Cindy Crawford is beautiful, but a picture that began circulating around the Internet this weekend is causing a stir -- and not because of how perfect she looks in it.

text: Medicaid Senate Committee Backs Bill Requiring Kentucky Medicaid Providers to Publish Prescription Prices A bill requiring Kentucky Medicaid managed care operators publish a list of prescriptions and reimbursement prices on Wednesday passed a state Senate committee, following prodding from independent pharmacists asking for access to pricing standards before they fill prescriptions. The group of independent pharmacists told lawmakers that they are still having trouble with reimbursements from the state's Medicaid managed care operators. And they said they were also still being dramatically undercut on prescription reimbursements when they did receive them. Pharmacist Jonathan Van Lahr said his goal was to see transparency in the process. "We are not asking to be paid exorbitant prices for these medications we dispense, just not to lose money. Or at least, let me know I'm going to lose money before I fill it," he says. Kentucky Senate Chair Wants Legislative Approval for Health Exchange, Medicaid Expansion By Kevin Willis • Jan 9, 2013 The chairman of a Kentucky Senate committee is promising to file legislation aimed at preventing Gov. Beshear from setting up two major pieces of the federal health care law without legislative approval. The Courier-Journal reports Senate Health and Welfare Committee Chair and Louisville Republican Julie Denton says she doesn't want the Governor to be able to unilaterally establish a new statewide health care exchange or expand Medicaid services to more Kentuckians. Denton and other Obamacare opponents say the state can't afford the exchange or expanded Medicaid offerings. Denton's bill would make such moves contingent on General Assembly approval. Gov. Beshear has already taken steps to create a statewide health care exchange by 2014, which would allow those who don't get insurance at work to buy a plan from a private company and receive government subsidies in the process. The Medicaid expansion would allow those earning less than 133 percent of the poverty rate to qualify for the program. Beshear says he is still considering the Medicaid expansion, while House Speaker Greg Stumbo says he fully supports the move. Speaker Stumbo Favors Medicaid Expansion in Kentucky The Speaker of the Kentucky House says it's a no-brainer for Kentucky to expand its Medicaid program under the Affordable Care Act. Under the health care law, states can expanded their Medicaid rolls to 138 percent of the poverty line, with the federal government picking up the tab for three years. Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear has yet to decide whether Kentucky will expand, saying he will calculate costs after 2017, when the feds pay only 90 percent of the expansion. But Democratic House Speaker Greg Stumbo says he's encouraging Beshear to commit to Medicaid expansion now. "I think it would be a penny wise and a pound foolish not to find the money," Stumbo says. Legal Issues with Kentucky Spirit Remain; Passport Withdraws Medicaid Complaint Weeks after their announced departure from Kentucky's Medicaid managed care system, operator Kentucky Spirit and the state are still locked in a legal battle. Both sides have sued each other, blaming the other for the situation. Kentucky Spirit announced their departure, scheduled for the middle of 2013, due to massive losses in the system. In an interim committee meeting Tuesday, Kentucky lawmakers asked for an update on what the state hoped to recoup financially because of Kentucky Spirit's decision. New Rule Continues Medicaid Burden on Kentucky's Independent Pharmacists By Kevin Willis • Nov 3, 2012 A new policy by a statewide Medicaid operator has independent pharmacists up in arms again. Earlier this year, pharmacists were the first group to alert lawmakers to problems with the managed care system. But they failed to get a bill protecting their co-pays signed into law.

- Reduce the number of claimants so that the administrations gain some breathing room,
- Send a signal to other EU-countries that it's time for them to step up to the plate.
Let's assess that. The proposal is available here (in Swedish).
The proposed changes to migration policy
Temporary residency permits for every asylum seeker except quota refugees
This is a suggestion that will not necessarily impact the number of people seeking asylum in Sweden. However, it will make integration and settlement harder. The majority of asylum seekers will no longer be able to settle and build a future for themselves. To successfully settle, newcomers need to build economic, social and cultural capital in the new country. A person who loses residency will have to start that process all over again, destroying much of the assets built over the years. Moreover, the Migration Board will have to assess each asylum claimant twice, once to approve the temporary residence permit, and then a second time when it expires to see if the claimant can get permanent residency. That actually increases the administrative burden on the Migration Board over the long term.
Limit the right to family reunification for people with temporary residency
See above. It also means that newcomers have to apply as asylum seekers from scratch, which means that they will not be able to build on the economic, social and cultural capital that family members who arrived earlier might have created. Also, this will mean that people who could have been given expedient approval through family reunification will have to go through the asylum approval process, so this could potentially actually make processing times even longer.
Raised demands on families to support family class immigrants
Canada has demands like these already instituted. It is a barrier for immigrants, to be sure. Not sure how it will affect processing times, though. Also, this type of criterion does not necessarily mean decreasing the inflow of migrants. The result will depend greatly on community capacity.
A category of refugee grounds is replaced by a more restrictive one
This is where the Swedish government essentially says that Sweden will only accept quota refugees from now on. That is as close to closing the border that the Swedish government can push policy without violating important EU treaties and UN commitments.
In addition to the detrimental effects mentioned above, the police are now conducting ID checks to all travelers using collective means of travel (trains, buses, planes, ships) arriving in Sweden. Instead of having police devoted to pursuing suspects of crime that actually hurt Swedish citizens, they are patrolling the borders to check the IDs of travellers, meaning that they need more resources, not less, to fulfill their core tasks.
I don't think anything good can come of this. The impact on asylum seeker inflow is dubious. It is unlikely to encourage any other European countries to open their doors more. On the contrary, so far Denmark and Norway seem to be following suit. The measures will increase public expenditures, not lower them, and also make integration for those who do receive permanent residency much harder. It will also close one more possible safe haven for refugees, even as they continue to die in the Mediterranean because of the Fortress Europe border policy. Finally, it will impact Swedish domestic policies negatively. At the moment, there are only two parties opposing the measures outright, the increasingly libertarian Centre Party and the radical Left Party. It's a far cry from the political consensus of September, when just about all parties except the Sweden Democrats still spoke warmly about international solidarity and a generous refugee policy.
Just today, the Swedish news agencies are reporting that since the implementation of the new border restrictions, refugee smuggling is on the rise, and the first case of refugees crossing the Baltic in a rubber dingy has been reported. I am deeply concerned and fear that we might see a development where refugees risk their lives, and lose them, trying to reach Sweden. That is what often happens when a state restricts border crossing.

I was wondering if it's possible to create a generic push notification solution for mobile devices (or at least Android and iPhone) with Appcelerator. I found some examples on how to implement iPhone Push with Appcelerator but nothing generic.
Any ideas? Or are there maybe other cross-plattform development sdk to solve this?

Latest development will make tool usable in low-connectivity environments in combat
The Defense Department is working to enhance its tools and procedures for assessing troops who may have suffered traumatic brain injury while deployed, and improvements in assessment capabilities are critical to troop health, a DOD official testified March 25.
Clifford Stanley, undersecretary of defense for personnel and readiness, told the armed services committees of each house of Congress that DOD is in the final stages of developing a neurocognitive assessment test tool that would be automated and Web accessible, but would not require Web access, NexGov reported.
DOD reportedly passed on a Web-based version of the Automated Neuropsychological Assessment Metrics tool in favor of a Web-enabled form that could be more flexible in use. In battlefield conditions, Web access isn't always available.
"Intermittent Web connectivity would severely degrade test results for a Web-based tool," Stanley said in a report submitted to Congress. "Any tool that is completely Web-based will not provide functionality in a disconnected fashion and will present challenges in military operation. This product must operate independent of Internet connectivity to maximize its use and improve test accuracy and performance."
ANAM is "a proven Army computer-based tool that is being deployed DOD-wide that is designed to detect a service member's speed and accuracy of attention, memory and thinking ability," according to a Navy document regarding ANAM's medical privacy implications. Service members take a baseline test before deployment, and if injured take a second test to be compared to the baseline.
Using the tool in the field, as close to the time of injury as possible, is critical for properly identifying potential damage. It's a point of contention in the effort to help troops who have may have suffered brain injury from explosions, which is a frequent injury in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, according to DOD reports.
Last month, Army Surgeon General Lt. Gen. Eric Schoomaker testified before the House Armed Services Committee that ANAM fails to correctly measure traumatic brain injury between 25 and 33 percent of the time, calling the tool "insensitive and nonspecific."
Now the Army is testing other assessment tools, Schoomaker said, including Immediate Post-Concussion Assessment and Cognitive Testing, or ImPACT, which the National Football League uses to check for brain injuries, NexGov reported as part of its Broken Warrior series.
Neurocognitive assessments for all service members were mandated in a 2008 memo from the assistant secretary of defense, health affairs, the Navy document noted.

Great Story, but Early Kindle Version was Riddled with Typos,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Son of Neptune (The Heroes of Olympus Book 2) (Kindle Edition)
The Heroes of Olympus series is best selling author Rick Riordan's spinoff of the Percy Jackson novels. This is the second in the series, following the introduction of the Roman hero, Jason Grace. As expected, Percy joins up with Roman forces and we are introduced to two new main characters: Frank Zhang and Hazel Levesque. As usual in a Riordan tale, the perspective changes from chapter to chapter among the main protagonists.
Riordan is maturing nicely as a writer, and each new book shows an emerging style that is both engaging and descriptive. Fans of previous Riordan books will find familiar elements, such as nods to popular culture. For instance, in Seattle the heroes find that Amazon.com is run by Amazon warriors, who are often found reading their Kindles.
Educational elements are skillfully intertwined in Riordan books, and this one is no exception. Young readers are introduced to Greek and Roman mythology and pick up quite a bit of classical detail despite the fact the story is modernized to a considerable extent. Even though the story is dealing with pagan gods of antiquity, quite a few Christian elements shine through, such as love, friendship, and shared sacrifice.
Character development remains strong, and retains typical Riordan memes such as teen angst and finding ones purpose in life (albeit from a demigod's perspective). Fans will enjoy most all aspects of learning about and caring for Zhang and Levesque as well as other minor characters.
My biggest beef with the Kindle version of the novel I downloaded was the plethora of typos. Odd paragraph breaks were very common, and words were often smashed together to the point of distraction. For instance, here's part of a sentence that typifies mistakes in the text: "... no wall she had to worry about ..." It should read, "... now all she had to worry about ..." Mistakes like that went on chapter after chapter.
Today, Amazon sent an e-mail indicating the publisher is aware of these many mistakes in the electronic text and offered a corrected version. As I have already finished the book, and waded through the errors, it's no big deal. One of the benefits of electronic books is the ability to quickly fix mistakes, but a simple read through by somebody in charge could have prevented these many errors from appearing in early electronic versions in the first place. That said, I'll take off a star from an otherwise five star book

I ended up buying the hardcover book for this one based on the number of reviews that said the kindle version was hard to follow. I've been noticing quite a lot of typos with kindle versions lately. Has anyone heard if Amazon is addressing this issue?

My 13 year old daughter has the hardcover and pointed out that there is a typo on the cover sleeve! If you check out the pictures uploaded by customers, you'll notice the back cover reads "The heroes of Oympus" not Olympus. Kudos to her for finding the spelling error, shame on the editors at Disney publishing.

Just what I was going to say. I would perhaps have said it more forcefully. Christianity is far from the first thing that pops into my mind when I think of these things.

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: May 01st, 2004
Running Time: 120
Director: Ed Powers
Company: Ed Powers Productions
Cast: Kimberly Allure, Richard Raymond, Anya (I), Alexis Taylor, Ed Powers, Kelly Kline, Cameron Sweet, Layla (I)
Critical Rating: Not Yet Rated
Genre: Pro-Am
Powers and amateur fans should eat it up.
Each of these two volumes has a nominal theme: 277 is anal; 278 is couples. The theme is loose, to say the least, but it provides some cohesion to the usual debutante vignette format.
In 277, Alexis Taylor, a fresh-faced blonde, discusses anal but doesn't actually offer up her tight back hole to Powers. She should be persuaded to stop watching the mirror or monitor - it tends to make her look a bit too blank. Layla, a dark, Arab beauty and anal virgin, doesn't just talk about getting it up the butt, thank goodness. After a lengthy warm-up, Powers eases into her asshole until she is overwhelmed by sensation. Watch for not one, but two anal orgasms. Cover girl Nyla Thai is the sister of Lucy Thai, another recent debutante. Thai is super-cute, but a bit too nervous to turn in a great scene. Anya, a petite Asian girl, on the other hand, is ready to give it up. She, too, tries anal on-camera for the first time, and she, too, comes.
But it's volume 278 that really shines. This may seem paradoxical - anal is nastier, and surely a tape with a couples theme will be softer and a little dull? Meet Kimberly Kline and Richard Raymond, a couple who found Powers on the Internet and decided to try something "wild." Usually male porn amateurs have wood problems on camera, but not this boy. Kline, a tasty brunette, is clearly his match sexually, and they just light up the scene in best-of-amateur fashion. She comes at least three times, and he grins all the way through.
Cameron Sweet was supposed to perform with her boyfriend, but he flaked, so Powers gets to do the honors. He doesn't even let her get entirely undressed before he buries his tongue in her pink. Sweet surprises everyone with a huge orgasm - her first ever from being eaten out. It's not the last - she comes with a vibe, she comes when he smacks her ass in doggie, and she comes when he fucks her in the ass. In the post-sex interview, we find out that she likes to share girls with her boyfriend. Let's hope we see more of her soon.
Kina Kai is super-shy, but also super-cute. Powers talks her through her scene well. Latina lovely Jenaveve Jolie starts out doing a softcore photo shoot for the "Good Girls" series, but ends up trying hardcore for the first time. She's still a little stiff at the beginning, but by the end, she's relaxed and willing to come back for more. There's a final bonus solo scene with slim redhead Kimberly Allure to round out the minutes on this tape.

This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/242,834, filed Oct. 24, 2000, entitled USED OF SCANNING PROBE MICROSCOPE FOR DEFECT DETECTION AND REPAIR.
The present invention generally relates to semiconductor processing, and in particular to a method of detecting and repairing defects in a semiconductor or other type of workpiece.
In the semiconductor industry, there is a continuing trend toward higher device densities. To achieve these high densities there have been, and continue to be, efforts toward scaling down the device dimensions on semiconductor wafers. In order to accomplish higher device density, smaller and smaller features sizes are required. These may include the width and spacing of interconnecting lines, spacing and diameter of contact holes, and surface geometry of corners and edges of various features.
High resolution lithographic processes are used to achieve small features. In general, lithography refers to processes for pattern transfer between various media. In lithography for integrated circuit fabrication, a silicon slice, the wafer, is coated uniformly with a radiation-sensitive film, the resist. The film is selectively exposed with radiation (such as optical light, x-rays, or an electron beam) through an intervening master template, the mask, forming a particular pattern. Exposed areas of the coating become either more or less soluble than the unexposed areas (depending on the type of coating) in a particular solvent developer. The more soluble areas are removed with the developer in a developing step. The less soluble areas remain on the silicon wafer forming a patterned coating. The pattern corresponds to the image of the mask or its negative. The patterned resist is used in further processing of the silicon wafer. Defects in the mask or the patterned resist may result in defects in the processed wafer.
In spite of advances in lithographic procedures, processed silicon wafers sometimes have defects, such as excess material or particulate contaminants. To improve quality, tools have been developed to detect such defects. One such tool, a scanning probe microscope, will detect many of the types of defects that can occur in processed silicon wafers.
Scanning probe microscopes come in several forms. One form is an Atomic Force Microscope (AFM), which is sometimes alternatively referred to as a Scanning Force Microscope (SFM). AFMs include a sensor with a spring-like cantilever rigidly mounted at one end and having a scanning tip at a free end. AFMs may operate in contacting and non-contacting modes. In the contacting mode, the tip of an AFM is placed in low force contact with a surface of a semiconductor wafer or other workpiece of interest. The workpiece is then displaced relative to the AFM in one or more directions in a plane (e.g., the tip contacts the workpiece in a Z axis while the workpiece is displaced in the X and/or Y directions), to effect a scanning of the workpiece surface. As surface contours or other topographic features are encountered by the tip during scanning, the cantilever deflects. The cantilever deflection is then measured, whereby the topography of the workpiece may be determined.
In non-contacting operation, the tip is held a short distance, typically 5 to 500 Angstroms, from the workpiece surface, and is deflected during scanning by various forces between the workpiece and the tip. Such forces may include magnetic, electrostatic, and van der Waals forces. In both the contacting and non-contacting modes, measurements of a workpiece topography or other characteristic features are obtained through measuring the deflection of the cantilever. Deflection of the cantilever may be measured using precisely aligned optical components coupled to deflection measurement circuitry, although other techniques are sometimes employed.
Another form of scanning probe microscope is a Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM). Where a feature of interest is non-topographic, AFMs as well as STMs may be used to measure the workpiece feature. Examples of non-topographic features include the detection of variations in conductivity of a semiconductor workpiece material. An AFM can be used to scan a workpiece in the non-contacting mode during which deflections in the cantilever are caused by variations in the workpiece conductivity or other property of interest. The deflections can be measured to provide a measurement of the feature. STMs include a conductive scanning tip which is held in close proximity (within approximately 5 Angstroms) to the workpiece. At this distance, the probability density function of electrons on the tip spatially overlap the probability density function of atoms on the workpiece. Consequently, a tunneling current flows between the workpiece surface and the tip if a suitable bias voltage is applied between the tip and the workpiece. The workpiece and tip are relatively displaced horizontally (in the X and/or Y directions) while the tip is held a constant vertical distance from the workpiece surface. The variations in the current can be measured to determine the changes in the workpiece surface.
In another mode of operation, an STM can be used to measure topography. The scanner moves the tip up and down while scanning in the X and/or Y directions and sensing the tunneling current. The STM attempts to maintain the distance between the tip and the surface constant (through moving the tip vertically in response to measured current fluctuations). The movements of the tip up and down can be correlated to the surface topography profile of a workpiece.
While there has been significant progress in detecting defects, less progress has been made in repairing defects. Parts with defects may be discarded, but it would be advantageous if they could be reliably repaired. With the scaled down geometries of today's semiconductor devices, large wafers can have values, when fully processed, exceeding six figures. There is an unsatisfied need for a system and method of repairing defects in semiconductor devices with small features.
The present invention provides a system and method for detecting and repairing defects in semiconductor devices. According to the invention, defects are located using a scanning probe microscope, such as an atomic force microscope or a scanning tunneling microscope, and repaired at locations determined by the scanning probe microscope. The microscope itself, and in particular the detection tip, may be employed to remove the defects. For example, the tip may be used to machine away the defect, to apply an electric field to oxidize the defect, and/or to heat the defect causing it to burn or vaporize. By combining precise defect location capabilities of a scanning probe microscope with defect removal, the invention permits very precise correction of defects such as excess material and foreign particles on semiconductor substrates.
One aspect of the invention provides a system for repairing defects in a semiconductor substrate including a scanning probe microscope having a detection tip and a defect repair system, wherein the defect repair system repairs defects in a substrate at location determined by the scanning probe microscope.
Another aspect of the invention provides a system for repairing defects in a semiconductor substrate including a scanning probe microscope and means for selectively processing the semiconductor substrate to repair defects at locations on the semiconductor substrate determined by the scanning probe microscope.
A further aspect of the invention provides a method of repairing a defect in a semiconductor substrate including the steps of locating the defect using a scanning probe microscope and repairing the defect using the location determined by the scanning probe microscope.
The invention extends to features hereinafter fully described and features particularly pointed out in the claims. The following detailed description and the annexed drawings set forth in detail certain illustrative examples of the invention. These examples are indicative of but a few of the various ways in which the principles of the invention may be employed. Other ways in which the principles of the invention may be employed and other objects, advantages and novel features of the invention will be apparent from the detailed description of the invention when consider in conjunction with the drawings.
While the invention can be applied to any type of substrate, it is applied in particular to semiconductor substrates. A semiconductor substrate includes a semiconducting material, such as silicon. In addition to a semiconducting material, the substrate may include various elements and/or layers; including metal layers, barrier layers, dielectric layers, device structures, active elements and passive elements including silicon gates, word lines, source regions, drain regions, bit lines, bases emitters, collectors, conductive lines, conductive plugs, etc. The substrate may have defects such as excess material or particulate contaminates.
The scanning probe microscope may be of any kind suitable for detecting defects in the substrate. For example, the microscope may be an atomic force microscope, a scanning tunneling microscope, or a scanning near-field optical microscope. The microscope may make measurements based on any suitable short range interaction with the substrate surface, including forces such as Van der Waals, electrostatic, and magnetic, tunneling electrons, or evanescent photons. The microscope may be operated in contact mode, non-contact mode, or tapping mode. The scanning probe microscope may obtain topographical information, compositional information, material state information, or a combination of the forgoing such as compositional and topographical information. The scanning probe microscope may also employ a combination of detection mechanisms. For example, the microscope may operate in both a contacting mode where displacement of the tip is caused by topographical features, and in a non-contacting mode where displacement of the tip is caused by electrostatic charges in the substrate induced by a conductive microscope tip. The detection limit of the microscope may be in the range from about 0.1 nm to about 100 μm. In one aspect of the invention, the microscope has a detection limit in the range from about 1 nm to about 1 μm. In a further aspect of the invention, the scanning probe microscope has a detection limit in the range from about 10 nm to about 0.1 μm.
The scanning probe microscope scans the substrate surface in search of defects. The SPM may scan the entire surface or only selected portions thereof. For example, the SPM may only scan portions of the surface identified by a preliminary scan identifying potential defect location. The preliminary scan may be carried out with a different scan technique, such as another SPM technique or with optical microscopy. In one aspect of the invention, when a defect is found or suspected, the region where the defect is thought to be is scanned by the SPM to precisely locate the defect. In another aspect of the invention, defects are detected using a combination of topographical and compositional information obtained using an SPM.
Some types of defects may be recognized as soon as they are encountered by the SPM. Others may not be recognized until a region around the defect has been mapped. Accordingly, the repair operation may be initiated as soon as a defect is encountered or it may be postponed until a region of the surface has been mapped. Defects are repaired at locations determined by the SPM. In one aspect of the invention, the SPM is positioned over the defect, or adjacent to it, and the SPM is used to repair the defect. In another aspect of the invention, the SPM is positioned over or near the defect and the defect is repaired by a separate tool that has a location fixed relative to the current position of the SPM. In a further aspect of the invention, the defect location determined by the SPM is communicated to a separate defect repair system that repairs the defect at the location determined by the SPM.
The repair tool can be the same tip used to detect the defect. This is not only convenient, but ensures accuracy of the repair. On the other hand, very accurate repairs can be carried out using a separate structure, particularly one with fixed position relative to the scanning tip. Using a separate structure to repair the defect allows greater design flexibility in that the repair structure does not have to also be adapted for scanning. The repair structure can be, for example, a tip for scribing the surface, a tip for applying an electric field to the surface, or a tip for heating the surface.
The following is an example of how system 200 may operate to detect defects in the substrate surface topography and/or composition: Controller 220, which contains a microprocessor and memory programmed with software instructions, maps substrate 240, or a portion thereof, into a grid wherein each portion of the grid corresponds to an XY position. Controller 240 directs position table 230 to move substrate 240 in a predetermined manner such that tip 216 scans across the surface of substrate 240. At the location (Xi, Yj), AFM 210 detects a characteristic associated with the surface and converts the characteristic into one or more electrical signals, for example, analog signals or digital signals which represent the detected characteristic(s), and transmits the detected data to controller 240. Controller 240 analyzes the detected data according to its programming to determine a characteristic of the substrate surface at that location. Using such information from multiple locations on substrate 240, controller 220 generates, for example, a map of the surface of substrate 240 including the location of any defects.
When defects are located, system 200 uses the surface map and additional readings from microscope 210 to reposition tip 216 over or adjacent the defect. The additional readings may be compared to the surface map to determine the location of tip 216 relative to the defect. Tip 216 is then used to repair the defect. In one example, AFM 210 increases the normal force on tip 216 to the extent that when substrate 240 is moved in the X and/or Y direction, tip 216 scribes the surface of substrate 240. The normal force used for locating defects is, for example, from about 0.1 nN to about 20 nN. In one aspect of the invention, the normal force used for removing defects is at least about 10 times greater than the force used for locating defects. In another aspect of the invention, the normal force used for removing defects is at least about 100 times greater than the force used for locating defects. The force used depends on the material being scribed and may also be varied based on the amount of material that needs to be removed. In one example, the normal force used to scribe the surface is in the range from about 20 nN to about 2 μN. In another example, the normal force used is from about 100 nN to about 500 nN. Controller 220 causes tip 216 to scribe across the location of the defect as many times as necessary to remove the defect. Data from tip 216 may be used to determined when defect removal is complete. During the scribing operation, controller 220 may vary the normal force on tip 216 to vary the depth to which the surface is scribed at different locations. In this example, tip 216 includes a hard material suitable for scribing the substrate surface. For example, tip 216 may be provided with a diamond tip.
In another aspect of the invention, defects are repaired by switching on an electric field between substrate 240 and tip 216. The electric field is applied by biasing substrate 240 to a first voltage and tip 216 to a second voltage. As an example, the voltage difference may be in the range from about 1 V to about 100 V. By way of further example, the current may be in the range from about 0.1 nA to about 10 nA. In this aspect of the invention, tip 216 is conductive, has a conductive coating, or includes a conductive strip. For example, tip 216 may have a strip of gold to which a voltage can be applied. The electric field causes oxidation of the defect. The material removed from the substrate may be of a type that volatilizes upon oxidation. Alternatively, the material removed may be material that becomes more soluble in a solvent developer after oxidation and a developing step may be used to remove the oxidized material from the surface.
In a further aspect of the invention, defects are repaired by heating tip 216. Tip 216 may be heated by running a current through tip 216. For example, tip 116 may include or comprise a metal wire through which a current may be run. Suitable metals may include platinum, silver, copper, and alloys of the forgoing such as a platinum/rhodium alloy. Another option is to heat tip 216 with a laser focused on tip 216. A pulsed laser provides controlled doses of energy, although a continuous laser may also be used. To facilitate laser heating, tip 216 may be provided with an absorbtive material such as a strip of gold. Heat from tip 216 may physically remove the defect or induce a chemical reaction that results in defect removed. Physical remove may include melting and/or vaporization. Chemical removal may include burning with oxygen. A suitable atmosphere around the scanning tip may be provided to facilitate removal by a chemical reaction, such as burning.
System 300 maps the surface of substrate 340, for example in the same way that system 200 maps the surface of substrate 240. In the absence of torque, and under the low torques exerted by body 311 while the surface is being mapped, scribing tip 318 is further from the surface than measuring tip 316 and scribing tip 318 does not interact significantly with the surface.
When defects are located, system 300 uses the defect map and data from microscope measuring tip 316 to position scribing tip 318 over the defect. After moving measuring tip 316 to the approximate location of the defect, measuring tip 316 begins gathering data regarding the surface, and controller 320 correlates that data to previously gathered data to determine the location of the measuring tip relative to the defect. Once the location of the tip relative to the defect is determined, the measuring tip is guided to a position on or adjacent the defect such that the scribing tip is directly over or adjacent the defect. System 310 then closes the distance between the surface of substrate 340 and AFM 310.
As illustrated by
Repair operations of the invention, particularly those involving mechanical scribing of a substrate, may be facilitated by blowing a stream of ionized air against the substrate in the area of the defect. The ionized air may neutralize charges and facilitate release of particulate debris from the surface and the flow of air may serve to convect the debris away from the surface. A vacuum system may also be provided to capture the blown debris and prevent it from contaminating the substrate or the environment in which the substrate is being processed.
What has been described above is the present invention and several of its specific embodiments. It is, of course, not possible to describe every conceivable combination of components or methodologies for purposes of describing the present invention, but one of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that many further combinations and permutations of the present invention are possible. Accordingly, the present invention is intended to embrace all such alterations, modifications and variations that fall within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

Blood Banking
All of us understand that blood saves lives, and the majority of us recognize with the value of contributing blood when and if we can. As medical science has advanced, nevertheless, the ways in which blood can be donated, and even the types of blood it is possible to share, have actually enhanced, bringing with them a variety of problems that society need to discuss.
All cultures have their own customs surrounding the process of delivering, and a few of these include the placenta and umbilical cord, used to enable the transfer of compounds in between mother and child before birth occurs. While some cultures espouse the intake of a mother's placenta, western medicine has found another usage for this organ or a minimum of for what is consisted of within.
The placenta and umbilical cord include a kind of blood that is rich with stem cells, which can be utilized to great advantage in patients struggling with a range of immune disorders. The most extensively understood use of such cells is in bone marrow transplants, where patients suffering from cancer get the bone marrow from a living donor, changing the unhealthy blood cells of the patient for the life-saving ones of the voluntary donor. The procedure of bone marrow transplant can, nevertheless, be time-consuming, and discovering a specific donor match can be hard.
Cord blood includes a similar type of the stem cells that are discovered in bone marrow, however, the way in which it is donated makes it more readily available for the client in requirement. Cord blood, when checked for its viability, can be stored in a special center up until it is needed– when it can be sent out directly to the client without sustaining the time-consuming search for a bone marrow donor.
Cord blood contribution raises a variety of concerns. Public cord blood storage systems are not always readily available to the parents who wish to donate their baby's blood. While parents can opt to keep the cord blood independently for their baby's later usage, this can be costly, and raises the concern of whether the blood needs to await somebody who might never use it or be offered right away to a patient in requirement.
For the moment, this continues to be the option of the moms and dads, who can decide to save their infant's cord blood, if they can pay for to pay the rate. Like all insurance plan, it may be one taken out with the hope that it never ever has to be hired, but society continues to ask whether this is a policy whose benefits should be shared.
