- delicious casual fun!OpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 1/25/2014I loved this place! It's a casual and laid back restaurant with excellent food. I love the way this restaurant works, you order all your dishes and the food comes out the way the the chef thinks is best to really savor and enjoy the food. The idea is the share the plates of food so you end up trying a ton of different dishes. everything we ordered delicious. Notable dishes include the liver pate, the crispy pig ear fries and the short rib pasta. I highly recommend this place if you're in Steamboat.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- birthday dinnerYoungChildrenVIPDined on 1/25/2014Reservations highly recommended!!!!! LOUD, but great location and atmosphere! In and old brick building. Food was great, server was a bit slow on the water. Cheese and meat board was excellent. They even put a candle in the birthday desert. Will go again. NOT for kids.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- You know it's going to be good whenFoodTravelerVIPDined on 1/25/2014... you see the butcher's diagram of a pig on the front door! I wish many more cities and towns had chefs doing imaginative work like this.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- AmazingOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 1/22/2014Ana, our server, was knowledgeable in suggesting items and combinations from their unique menu. We ordered several small plates and we were wowed by the complexity and taste of each dish. It was a well paced, relaxing experience shared with friends.Special Features:
- Chef 's Choice Menu for Two: A MustLeighbVIPDined on 1/20/2014We like Rex's so much that we're working our way through their family of restaurants. Laundry is a complete hit with us! Rustic with a bit of Southern influence, in decor and menu. Locavore sourcing, many house-made items, delicately smoked items...all 5 of our dishes were distinct and showed off nuances of taste. Good Job! We selected the 5 piece Chef's Choice: Bergamot Tea-Crusted cheese w/ Tasso Ham slices, house-made pickles slices, delicate Cracker Crisps, gentle Hummus, Pear Salad w/ House-made Seasoned Fennel & Onion Slices, the Infamous Brussels Sprout Vegetable Hash, incredible Beef Cheeks. Service was personalized; no order-taking w/distant attitude here. We were led on a friendly & flavorful journey.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great tasting menuOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 1/18/2014This was our second trip to Laundry and we again has the chef's menu. Delicious 5 course meal at an incredibly reasonable price!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great dining experienceOpenTable Diner Since 2009VIPDined on 1/18/2014This was our first time at Laundry on a recommendation from a family member. The decor was really neat, food was fantastic and lit server was very knowledgeable and friendly. Stand outs were the Beef Cheeks, Pastrami, and Hen of the Woods Mushrooms. Speciality cocktail was delicious and only $6! Would recommend to anyone visiting Steamboat!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great foodie spot in SteamboatAmyCDined on 1/17/2014We dined here during a recent weekend ski trip. Interesting menu, and the food was great. Try the pig ear fries. The pork belly was outstanding, melt-in-your-mouth tender. Cured meat selection is decent.Special Features:
- ANOTHER fun time at Laundry!OpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 1/9/2014From the time we walked in the door on a Thursday night until we headed home, we were treated like a guest in a friend's home. The waitstaff was friendly and helpful, the food outstanding with interesting combinations and the cocktails an adventure.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Think Girl & the Goat ChicagoOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 1/3/2014Great fun, small plate concept! This restaurant was the highlight of our Steamboat trip! Great food, generous portions for the table to share. Don't miss this delicious restaurant for a small plate fun, kind of night. It should also be mentioned, that the people that work here, love their jobs. They were very helpful in giving us tips on the ski area in general. I will return to this location on our next steamboat trip.
- The bane of popularityNeverEatsInVIPDined on 1/2/2014Because menu items are meant to be shared, dining at Laundry can be a lot of fun but at times a bit tricky (depending on individual dining preferences). The upscale trendy atmosphere and high quality inventive food have made this restaurant very popular especially with the well-heeled crowd. The most recent night we ate at Laundry the bar was overflowing and every dining table full. Perhaps that was why we were not seated until 45 minutes after our reservation time.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fun concept, excellent food.OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 1/1/2014Laundry has really good food and the staff are terrific. The small-plate, shared dining is fun and great for four to six people, but those little plates can really add up. Drinks are pricey too.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- UniquefoooDined on 12/31/2013The selection of dishes was unique, and all of the 5 or 6 we ordered were great. The restaurant's M.O. is to serve 2-3 small plates to each person. It works out well. The custom cocktails were good too. Most restaurants simply pour a bunch of sugar syrup, vodka, and some kind of flavored liqueur into a glass and slap the suffix -tini on the end. These were legit cocktails. You won't be disappointed with Laundry.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- One of Steamboat's Best PlacesccnonhippieVIPDined on 12/31/2013The food is awesome, and the drinks are even better!Special Features:
- We had an awesome time - everythingLacenDined on 12/31/2013We had an awesome time - everything was outstanding, food was incredible - service was really great. Highly recommended.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- My belly had a happy new year!dunnageDined on 12/31/2013We went to Laundry to celebrate new years. The food was scrumptious. They recommend sharing the plates of food so it's a great way to taste a variety of selections. I especially enjoyed the Brusselsprout hash and the trout. The waiter gave off a bit of a creeper vibe, but he didn't make any mistakes. They have wine happy hour on Fridays starting at $4.30 4:30 then the price goes up each minute. The food was so good, we went back another time while we were in the Boat. The food wasn't quite as good the second time around.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Laundry is a keeperSkisteamboatDined on 12/29/2013This place is pure steamboat with its western ambience of old wood, beams and wooden floor. The bar is a work of western art. The food is wonderfully esoteric. The staff is friendly and attentive and are all truly invested in the success of the place. I highly recommend!Special Features:
- Repeat VisitorsMorzDined on 12/27/2013We have NOT had a bad experience at Laundry! The food is outstanding and the recommendations on amounts has been spot on each time! We've gone as a couple and in groups up to 8 people. They have always accommodated us and the servers have been extremely pleasant, knowledgeable, and helpful! A real gem in Steamboat... we hit Laundry every trip!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Yum!pipereatsVIPDined on 12/26/2013Our group of 7 had a wonderful dinner at Laundry. Cocktails are fun and delicious. Service was excellent (thanks, Megan!). We shared everything and enjoyed every bite. Highly recommend the Rocky Mountain Trout (large plate) and the grilled pear salad, kale salad, and brussels sprout hash. Pickle jar and hummus are great first bites as well.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great chef w/ weak customer serviceCrzymndDined on 12/26/2013Overall this place has Very Good Food. Unfortunately, that exciting basic is clouded by poor customer service. Simple: "Welcome to…" was instead a curt: "can I help you"-like we were in the wrong place. Timing of the meal was poorly managed by the server, who also did not keep up with new plates/silverware. Delish trout and duck but they did not come out at in sync. "Dealing" the dessert menus onto the table felt rude and totally turned us off. If the attitude and connection had been playful it might have been ignored or amusing. Unfortunately, this was a rare time where we actually took the extra time to leave 15 rather than 20%-Very Rare. Our 12 year old son put it best…."The vibe was off, and there was no charisma from the staff".Special Features:
- Unique Experience!KimberlyVIPDined on 12/24/2013Dined here Christmas Eve with my husband and three boys after a long day of skiing. Our waiter, Don, was excellent and very knowledgeable about the unique menu. The items are all meant to be shared plates and the food is as local as they can get and many things (like the cheese and pickles) are made in-house. We tasted a little of everything, it seemed. Our favorites were the Shrimp POW POW and fried quail. We will definitely dine there again the next time we visit Steamboat!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A salute to something different.DownEastDined on 12/23/2013Very creative menu and food presentation. Prices seem high for the modest portions but the overall experience was both interesting and enjoyable.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Incredible MenumattVIPDined on 12/22/2013Laundry is one of the top restaurants I've been to in a long time. They just recently launched a new small plates menu and regardless of whether you like the item on the menu, if it's ordered, try it, you will like it. Everything beat all my expectations not just for a small ski town but for a big city too. Highly recommended. Cocktails were also fantastic.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A Gourmet DinnerLindaDined on 12/19/2013extraordinary gourmet recipes, shared by the table so you get to experience multiple different foods. beautiful presentation. beautiful room, romantic dining. polite and friendly professional staff.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Perfect Night OutAchamberlainobDined on 12/12/2013Enjoyed every minute. Food was excellent, creative and perfectly prepared. Completely relaxed atmosphere, super attentive but not intrusive service. I tried the infused cocktail of the day, great! Stew a touch spicy for my taste, but many choices milder, and something for everyone.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing!jesidaDined on 11/29/2013A perfect meal for my boyfriend's 30th birthday- he loves delicious food and a well-mixed cocktail, and Laundry didn't disappoint! We had a blast with our server, Don, who told wonderful stories and told us what plates we shouldn't miss out on. Can't wait to come back the next time we're in Steamboat Springs!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Unbelievable!AmyMDined on 10/25/2013While on a mini-vacation in Steamboat Springs, my boyfriend and I had dinner here at Laundry. I had read about the restaurant in 5280 a few months before, and thought that we needed to give it a try. I would definitely recommend the chef's menu. It's perfect for two people and we devoured everything they put in front of us. Try the specialty cocktails, too. The blueberry lemonade is delicious. Low-key but romantic. Highly recommended for a special night out!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Different dining experienceSteamboatfoodDined on 10/25/2013Tried this place because of the eclectic menu, and it gave us a chance to try a a number of Colorado produced foods. Service was good, great drinks and wine list. The only dish we weren't pleased with was the shoestring potatoes, and they were removed from the tab. Wait staff is very knowledgeable about all the menu items, and are happy to explain it all! Colorado rouge cheese was excellent, wish it was available in the East!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Dinner for 4 and good memoriessteamboatfoodieDined on 10/19/2013We ordered several apps, Pistachio Chevre,Tasso, Duck Prociutto and Butternut Squash Humus, after ordering a bottle of wine. Honestly the tastes were just wonderful! My Roasted Pear Salad was so delicious and perfectly dressed, I could have stopped there as I was pleasantly full but, we had each ordered an entre type dish and they were very good, we tasted each others. The service was efficient and not hovering. A really nice evening.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- The Laundry in Steamboat SpringsOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 9/12/2013Great resturant - unique dishes. But I think they could executed a little better. The food is very simular to Cafe Vino in Fort Collins. This an off time in Steamboat - between seasons so to speak. My guess that during ski season the quality goes up a notch or two.Special Features:
- DeliciousOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 9/8/2013We were absolutely blown away by our last-minute discovery. Each dish was created with care and no details from flavor to plating were overlooked. Even more exciting is that this is an ever evolving menu changing seasonally but also with daily specials. I cannot describe how wonderful everything was. My advice- bring a group and share as many plates as you can. You will not be disappointed!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- New chef - pleasedRobbyVIPDined on 9/7/2013Pleased to see that the new chef is combining the old with new in a good way.

As part of its contract renewal with the Tess Corners Volunteer Fire Department, Muskego city officials want to know how long it takes for firefighters and rescue personnel to respond to calls.
But the majority of the Common Council on Tuesday night decided not to spend $4,800 for software to get additional information on how many firefighters arrive at calls.
Response times are important, which is why the city is requesting such information for the first time as part its contract with Tess Corners, but Alderman Neil Borgman said the city also needs to know the number of firefighters responding to be able to measure the city's fire protection against national standards.
The council was split on the value of such information, however, with Mayor Kathy Chiaverotti noting that it may be unfair to expect Muskego's volunteer department to meet standards for full-time departments.
The $4,800 expenditure had been recommended on a split vote by the Public Safety Committee.

You deserve comics that highlight women who have made critical contributions to society.
We all deserve history that comes alive. The best stories, to me, are the ones with weird and sometimes awkward details that we can relate to. Illustration in general also makes complex issues and stories easier to digest. It's hard to be interested in stories when you don't see yourself in them, and hard to imagine yourself in a creative field when you don't see room for yourself in it.
I believe strongly that this is work worth making. (Why, you ask? Read more, complete with comics! After the jump...)
It's the end of the year (almost!) and we're looking ahead to January to dig in to a new "era" here at Bitch Media. With exciting programs on the horizons ready to launch, we're sharing 10 Reasons to Support Bitch to compel readers to invest in our future. This week's reason focuses on where our money comes from—and why that's so important. Technically, Reason #2 reads:
The frost-covered issue of Underground is on its way to mailboxes and newsstands soon, but you can check out three new articles ahead of time today! Lauren Elmore looks at whether a spate of recent pop songs is making things "better" (or not) in "Raise Your Glass If U R A Firework Who Was Born This Way: Who's to say what makes a gay anthem?". Emi Koyami examines how the mainstream anti-trafficking movement isn't as progressive as pop culture would have you believe in "Trade Secrets: The tough talk of the new anti-trafficking movement". And then there's my interview with Issa Rae, creator of the hilarious Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl on wrapping the series up while looking forward. Click through for the full text and to preview these articles before they hit your mailbox. And don't forget—you can still subscribe today to get your issue of Underground AND get an awesome floaty pen when you do!
Today I'm calling on other male-identified Bitch supporters to do their part. Bitch, like feminism in general, is not and cannot just be for women.
Let's face it—men are underrepresented in their support for the feminist movement. A lot of men believe that feminism is just for women, or at least that they don't have a constructive role to play. I'm here to tell you that's a bunch of hooey, and to thank all the men out there who speak up about sexism's impacts.
I'm asking every guy reading this today to put your money where your mouth is. If you support keeping one of the strongest, wittiest and most consistent voices in feminist media in print now is the time to show it.

Still Point by Taiun Michael Elliston
Sōtō Zen was traditionally called the practice of "silent illumination." This tasted like a pejorative in the mouths of Rinzai proponents, and perhaps followers of other sects, which must have seen themselves as competitive with Soto advocates. Soto folks would return the favor by criticizing Rinzai as kanna, or word Zen. Meaning it was caught up, or bogged down, in mind games. ... Read More »

You're Free to Stay by Koun Franz

Jody Breeze - Welcome to the Future
Artist: Jody Breeze
Producer: Jimmy L
Album: Welcome to the Future Mixtape
Avg Rating: 2.9 ( 18 votes )
Forecasting the direction history and technology will take in years to come has always been a dicey prospect, with predictions more often than not turning out to be flat-out wrong – I mean, weren't we supposed to have flying cars by now? In any case, you won't find any wild-eyed speculation of that sort on Welcome to the Future, the latest single and mixtape title track from Jody Breeze. Here, the banging brass boardwork of Jimmy L. sets a triumphant mood as the Georgia native describes a brighter tomorrow that's like today in every respect save one: Jody Breeze is even more fresh, flashy and fly than he is at the present time. And that's the kind of change we can all believe in – right, Booth readers? If you agree that the vision of utopia Breeze describes on this street scorcher is worth striving for, you can accompany the Young Gunna up-and-comer as he ushers in a brave, new era of whips, weed and expensive clothes on – you guessed it – April 20 (a.k.a. 4/20), when Welcome to the Future (the mixtape) hits the 'net for free download.

On-demand Webinar: Agentless Backup is Not a Myth
Unlike Bigfoot, Effective Agentless Backup is Not a Myth
A panel of industry experts recently discussed how effective, agentless backup solutions are not a myth. Marc Staimer, President & CDS at Dragon Slayer Consulting, Nathan Golden, CEO at Managecast Technologies and Carlos DaSilva, Product Manager at Asigra explained how both enterprises and managed service providers can avoid agent pollution and unnecessary complexity when managing backup and recovery initiatives with an agentless solution.
As you may know, cloud backup and recovery software requires agents to be installed for each machine or application that needs to be protected. Agent management can quickly become very complicated when different operating systems and revision levels are involved for an IT Administrator. Using agents with a tape or a disk-to-disk (D2D) backup solution decreases system performance, data security and recoverability success rates, contributing to higher IT costs.
Watch this webinar to learn:
- Why traditional agent-based backup is difficult and costly to manage
- The top 9 benefits of agentless backup
- Why agentless backup is more secure
- How an agentless solution can improve data security
- Why Asigra's agentless solution was voted the top enterprise backup application for 2014
If you have any questions about agentless backup and recovery, please contact us.

Cloud Computing: Just a fad or the real deal?
The following is a guest post from George Georgiou of TIG
Everywhere you look these days there is cloud, cloud, cloud… But is cloud the latest fad or should you be including cloud into your strategic plans?
Did you know?
- According to SiliconANGLE, by 2014, businesses in the United States will spend more than $13 billion on cloud computing and managed hosting services
- 82% of companies reportedly saved money by moving to the cloud
- 80% of cloud adopters saw performance and commercial improvements within 6 months of moving to the cloud
- From 2012 to 2017, data centre workloads will grow 2.3-fold; cloud workloads will grow 3.7-fold
Companies are constantly reviewing their strategy to ensure that their key business systems are delivering value and providing a competitive advantage. The pace of data centre technology has become so rapid that technology increases 3-fold in performance and scalability – approximately every 12 months. Organisations also need to factor in changes in vendor software developments that allow greater integration and offer high performance such as VMware VCloud which allows VM's to be moved from client site to vCHS seamlessly (VMware's cloud offering).
A financial challenge can be in the form of professional services. Organisations find themselves making provisions for core systems enhancements on an annual basis which can be become a very costly affair. This is in part due to bad planning and not having a clear technology and vendor technology roadmaps aligned to the business and release dates.
Another challenge faced is the integration with services delivered by external suppliers. In my next blog I will talk through an example of a client that has handled such a challenge.

Balancing Data Protection and Ease of Access
The following is a guest post from Mark Dalton of The Tech Lounge
In the modern world, data protection is an issue that is always hanging over our heads. We hear stories every day of leaks and hacking scandals, so it's easy to understand why we would be extra cautious about the security of our information. But if we are too strict about it, we can cut off some channels that need access to that data in order to continue functioning - and cause more problems than we started with. So we need to learn how to balance the need for data protection with access to that data in a way that benefits everyone. This usually means coming up with a system and sticking to it.
Why do we need to protect our data, and how?
Put simply - a company is its data, and a company can't exist without it. That's not just the big things- anything from a simple email to marketing materials, payslips and invoices - are the bricks and mortar of a company. It has taken time and money to build, and it will cost money if it falls into the wrong hands – especially true of the banking sector. This could be anyone from your customers and suppliers to hackers. And this data isn't always in the form of official company paperwork - this is often digital data too, and great care should be taken when deciding who has access to it and what they can do with it. Your security system for data should be a framework to the business, and guidance on how to run things.
Our golden rule here at The Tech Lounge is simple: don't over think it. When they have a security scare a lot of companies will bring in a security company or new business advisor to help tighten things up. But the first thing these advisors will do is implement a long and complicated process, and this can itself be a barrier to getting your data secure, and doing business. As you can imagine this wouldn't go well! So the simple thing to do here is come up with a consistent permissions system, and make sure everyone is aware of it. Think long and hard about who you want accessing what data and where it should go, and label or file everything accordingly. Our preferred method is the traffic light system - Green, Orange and Red.
The Traffic Light System
The great thing about this system is its simplicity. Any data that is essentially 'safe' and you don't mind where it goes is labelled Green, anything a bit risky and suspect is labelled Orange, and anything highly sensitive is Red. All company data is then labelled within this system - whether that's via a Content Management System (CMS), putting passwords on files and folders or physically labelling paper data with green, red and orange dots. It's a clear system that everyone can understand - they know what their passwords unlock or what they are allowed to take from the filing cabinet.
You've then got to think about where that data will live. Using the same labelling system, you can decide where to put the data based on its security. For example if it's green it can be stored anywhere (like the website or the cloud), if it's orange it can live in the cloud but only under encryption, and if it's red it must stay internal to the company at all times. See Offsite backup is a minimum requirement article for more info on this.
This system is simple to understand and easy to implement - and the best thing is you probably do it in your everyday life without realising it. Just think about what you are willing to leave on your kitchen table for the whole family to see, what should be in your room and what stays in a safe. The key to achieving the delicate balance between overprotection and major risk being aware of the risks to you and your business, accept and mitigate where you can, and make conscious decisions when you can't.

Delivering on Backup Services like Big Brands Deliver on the Buyer Experience
I recently had the opportunity to attend the Managed Services & Hosting Summit held on September 25th at the Pullman Hotel in London. The event was a great opportunity to meet with Asigra Partners as well as network with Service Providers across Great Britain. Tiffani Bova, VP Distinguished Analyst, Gartner headlined the event and as always Tiffani's keynote was inspiring and thought-provoking.
The main theme of the keynote presentation was in order for managed service providers to enjoy future growth they are going to need to implement new sales models. The presentation focused on the following three key points:
- Technology is different.
- Buyers have changed.
- Providers need new sales capabilities.
The main message focused on how the buyer's journey is changing our approach to sales and service providers must change their approach to sales methodologies, approaches and measurement. Now we have all heard how the traditional funnel is no longer, that buyers control their journey through the buying cycle much more than today's vendors control the selling cycle. The fact is that the buyer's journey is no longer linear, the buyer is continuously moving through their journey. Therefore, managed service providers need to drive content out into the market to inform the buyer through their self-driven research phase of the buyer's journey. Tiffani's recommendation to Service Providers is to reduce the speed and feed messaging to focus on telling more stories using customer case studies.
Tiffani also advised that Service Providers need to differentiate based on sales and selling tactics. She also recommended looking at what your competitors are doing – are they more digital and are they using more content. You need to be aware of what your competitors are doing and you need to choose the touch points on how buyers interact with your organization. There is the opportunity for Service Providers to reduce their sales costs by 25% or more due to going digital.
Service providers need to ask themselves if they are rewarding the right sales behavior, how are the inbound leads currently being handled, and how frequently do they rationalize their sales initiatives. With the pipeline becoming more unpredictable with the buyer being in control, your sales team needs to concentrate on being a guide focused on feeding the buyer the right information, at the right time to help the buyer through their journey.
The experience economy
The last part of Tiffani's presentation focused on a great example of the experience economy and how service providers need to deliver on their brand experience. Her presentation referenced a well known American global coffee company. As Tiffani explained, this company has created a consistent buyer experience that has people all around the world flocking to their retail locations even if these same people have access to free coffee they will pay $5.00 for the experience. They will even stand in a line up to participate in the experience. This example really resonated for me as I can attest to the fact that it does not matter where you are in the world – the experience is always the same. Now I do not normally purchase this brand's coffee, in fact I don't really like their coffee, but I do like their cappuccinos. So whenever I am in a new city or country, I seek out their nearest location because I know that no matter where I am – San Francisco, London, Cleveland or Orlando – the cappuccino will taste the same, the service will be the same, and their menu will be the same – the experience is consistent and reliable.
Can you say the same for your business? Do you deliver on your backup service brand each and every time? Have you altered your sales process based on the new buyer's journey? Tell us about your experience.

So the other day my friend Dave and I were bemoaning the loss on Amendment 2 in the mid-term elections. Amendment 2, you may remember, was for medical marijuana. Like all amendments to the Florida constitution, it required 60% to pass; unfortunately, it received only 58%, due in large part to an expensive scare campaign mounted by well-heeled out-of-state interests.
Still, 58 percent of the vote is a damn sight more than either governors candidate received! Rick Scott got re-elected with only 48 percent of the vote.
So we came up with this shirt. If you want one, they're only $23.95 including shipping. Write me at email@example.com

A method of backside damaging a silicon semiconductor wafer by abrading the wafer in an abrasive powder is disclosed. The wafer is rotated or translated in the powder while the powder is being vibrated. A fixture holds one or more semiconductor wafers during the processing and allows the wafer to be rotated during processing if desired.
1. A fixture for holding semiconductor wafers during backside damaging of the wafers, comprising;
two side pieces,
three dowel supports, and
a handle,
the three dowel supports connected to the two side pieces and rigidly supporting the semiconductors wafers between the three dowel supports, such that the wafers are rigidly secured between the dowel supports when the dowel supports are in place between the two side pieces, and the handle is pivotally connected to the two side pieces.
2. The fixture according to claim 1, wherein the three dowel supports are connected to the side pieces such that each dowel support contacts a semiconductor wafer on its circumference to hold the wafer in place during processing.
3. The fixture according to claim 1, wherein at least one dowel support is removable to permit mounting of the semiconductor wafers.
4. The fixture according to claim 1 wherein the handle is rotatably mounted to the side pieces.
5. A fixture for holding semiconductor wafers during backside damaging of the wafers, comprising;
two side pieces, each side pieces having three legs extending from a center point, the legs being located equidistant around an imaginary circle having the center point as its center,
three dowel supports extending between the legs of the side pieces, and
a handle rotatably mounted to the side pieces,
the three dowel supports connected to the two side pieces and supporting the semiconductors wafers between the three dowel supports and the handle connected to the two side pieces.
6. The fixture according to claim 5, wherein the three dowel supports are connected to the side pieces such that each dowel support contacts a semiconductor wafer on its circumference to hold the wafer in place during processing.
7. The fixture according to claim 6, wherein at least one dowel support is removable to permit mounting of the semiconductor wafers.
This is a division of application Ser. No. 07/378,632, filed Jul. 12, 1989 now U.S. Pat. No. 5006475.
This invention relates to apparatus and methods of processing silicon wafers, and more particularity to an apparatus and method for backside damaging of silicon wafers using moving abrasive powder.
Backside damaging of silicon semiconductor wafers to provide sources of extrinsic gettering of metallic impurities has been accomplished by several methods including liquid honing, striated extrinsic gettering, dry blast abrasive powder, phonographic techniques, spiral particle paper abrasive, laser technology, and poly silicon growth.
Liquid honing and dry blast abrasive powder systems are usually a problem from a controllability standpoint. This is due to the extremely small abrasive particle size. Smaller abrasive particles tend to agglomerate or "clump" causing clogging of abrasive lines which makes this type of backside damage inherently unstable. Lateral cracks and pits produced by this type of backside damage makes the wafer difficult to clean particles from the damaged side. The particles cause particulate wafer contamination after the polishing step which can be detrimental to wafer yields. The silica abrasive used with the dry blast system has also been known to cause silicosis under prolonged exposures.
Striated extrinsic gettering, phonographic techniques and spiral particle paper method all produce damage to silicon wafers by producing deep scratches of the wafer surface. Scratching the surface of silicon causes pits and lateral cracks in the wafer surface. A pit is formed in silicon wafers by "knocking out" pieces of silicon on the surface level. This dislodged silicon then plagues the wafer process later in the form of particulate contamination. The phonographic technique is almost unusable due to low product throughput. This technique uses a diamond tipped stylus to damage a spinning wafer by moving the stylus slowly from the center of the wafer outward producing a spiral pattern of damage.
The spiral particle paper method to backside damage wafers is not widely used due to low production throughput. This method uses a sand paper like strip to abrade the wafer by contacting the surface of the wafer with the abrasive strip and spinning the wafer in a circular path. This form of abrading leaves a mound at the center of the wafer. Polishing the wafer later produces a dimple at the center of the spiral pattern on the front surface of the wafer due to the mound on the backside of the wafer.
Laser backside damage has been pursued as an alternative to abrasive brushes, powders, and papers. Silicon is melted at the surface of the wafer which causes a poly silicon layer. The main problem with laser backside damage is during the recrystallization of the melted silicon. Melted silicon recrystallizes forming a crystal structure which resembles the original material. This is undesirable since this "erases" most of the poly silicon nature developed immediately after melting.
Poly backside damages is about the best type of backside damage known. Unfortunately it is also the most expensive and time consuming. Poly silicon is grown on the backside of wafers. This method is excellent from a particle standpoint since the backside is never subjected to abrading. Price is the major drawback to the method of backside processing.
The invention is to a method and apparatus for backside damaging of silicon wafers by subjecting the silicon wafer to a moving abrasive powder. The wafer is submerged in silicon carbide powder and agitated by a vibrating tumbler apparatus. The submerged wafers rotate in the silicon carbide powder. Surface damage is produce on the silicon wafer without excessive scratching, particles or pits. This type of surface damage produces an increased number of stacking faults by a factor of 10 while decreasing damage density by a factor of 1000, thereby increasing wafer yield through increasing the gettering ability of the wafer. The process is inexpensive to setup and maintain in comparison to the prior art methods.
The technical advance represented by the invention as well as the objects thereof will become apparent from the following description of a preferred embodiment of the invention when considered in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, and the novel features set forth in the appended claims.
FIG. 1 illustrates apparatus used in the present invention;
FIG. 2 illustrates a semiconductor carrier fixture to be used in the present invention;
FIG. 3 is an isometric drawing of the carrier fixture of FIG. 2;
FIG. 4 is a diagram comparing three types of wafer backside damage; and
FIG. 5 is a table of test data used for the diagram of FIG. 4.
FIG. 6 is a table of test data for <111> oriented semiconductor wafers.
The invention is to a method of backside damaging of semiconductor wafer and the apparatus used in the method. Back side damage to the semiconductor wafer is accomplished by subjecting the wafer to a moving abrasive powder. One or more silicon wafers are placed in an abrasive powder, silicon carbide for example, and agitated. Agitation is accomplished by vibrating the silicon carbide which produces surface damage on the wafer without producing excessive scratching, particle or pits.
FIG. 1 illustrates one embodiment of a vibrating chamber which imparts surface damage on the silicon wafer. Apparatus 10 includes a tank 11 filled with silicon carbide 12. The silicon carbide may be, for example, silicon carbide particles of 125 micron size. Tank 11 is filled to line 12a with the silicon carbide. Silicon wafers 13 are immersed in the silicon carbide powder such that the wafer are completely covered by the silicon carbide.
Tank 11 is connected to an electric vibrating coil 14. Coil 14 is connected to a power control source 16 by wire 15. The power to coil assembly 14 may be adjusted to vary the degree of vibration or agitation applied to tank 11 and the silicon carbide particles therein.
The silicon wafers are processed in the vibrating silicon carbide for, for example, one minute. The wafers are held in a fixture which rotates the wafer during processing thereby uniformly abrading the surfaces of the wafer.
FIG. 2 illustrates a fixture for holding a plurality of silicon wafers during the backside damage process. Fixture 20 has a handle 23 attached to the fixture-holder by two arms 21 and 22. Fixture side pieces 27 and 28 are attached to arms 21 and 22 by pins 30 and 31 such that the side pieces may rotate on pins 30 and 31.
Three rails 24, 25 and 26 extend between side pieces 27 and 28, and hold semiconductor wafers 29 in place within the fixture-holder. One or more of the rails 24, 25 and 26 is removable to allow positioning of the wafers 29 in the fixture-holder.
FIG. 3 is an isometric view of the fixture-holder shown in FIG. 2. Handle 23 may be a dowel extending between the two handle arms 21 and 22. Handle arms are rotatably attached to fixture-holder side pieces 28 and 27 by pins 30 and 31. Rails 24, 25 and 26, which may be dowels, extend between the side pieces 28 and 27 to hold the wafers 29 in place. As illustrated in FIG. 1, the fixture-holder, with the semiconductor wafers mounted in the fixture, is placed in a silicon carbide powder. With the semiconductor wafer completely covered with the silicon carbide, the powder is vibrated, causing the fixture holder to rotate about pins 30 and 31, causing backside damage to the wafers.
To illustrate the improvement in back side damage as a result of the present invention, a comparison of "Gettering Ability" of the present invention and prior art methods was made.
Samples of <100> and <111> orientation wafers were processed using the method of the present invention, MAP (Moving Abrasive Particle), and prior art methods SWAM (Silicon Wafer Abrading Machine) and SEG (Striated Extrinsic Gettering). Testing was done by means of treating the backside damaged wafers at 1100C for 80 minutes in a steam OISF test (Oxygen Induced Stacking Fault). The OISF test is believed to give a reliable method for comparing the "gettering ability" of mechanical backside damage processes because the backside OISF density is a measure of the ability of the backside damage to trap silicon self-interstitials. The greater the OISF density, the greater the ability to trap silicon self-interstitials, and the greatest ability to trap mobile impurity atoms.
For the <100> samples, the evaluation sequence consisted of: an anneal at 1175C for 0, 2, or 4 hours in argon, an llOOC for 80 minutes OISF test steam oxidation, oxide strip, 45 seconds Schimmel etch, and backside OISF density counts. The 1175C argon anneals were to see how much of the damage annealed out before the OISF test.
FIGS. 4 and 5 (Table 1) show, for the data for the <100> sample, that for no 1175C anneal, the SWAM (C) and SEG (B) produced backsides OISFs densities just over the target density of 1.0 E+05 OISFs per square centimeter, while the MAP (A) process produced OISF densities almost an order of Magnitude higher. As expected, the <100> samples annealed at 1175C in argon before the OISF showed reduced densities. In all cases, the MAP samples gave the highest OISF densities, the SEG had the next highest densities, and the SWAM process yielded the lowest densities.
In evaluating the <111> orientation wafers, the evaluation sequence consisted of the llOOC for 90 minutes OISF steam oxidation, oxide strip, 3 minutes of Leo's (modified Sirtl) etch, and backside OISF density counts.
The <111> data, TABLE 2, show that all three types of damage gave OISF densities above the target density of 1.0 E 5 stacking faults per square centimeter. As was in the case for the <100> samples, MAP produced the highest OISF density, SEG the next highest and SWAM the lowest.
The average OISF densities for no 1175C anneal can be summarized as follows:
As measured by the OISF densities, the MAP backside damage showed the best "gettering ability". The scratches produced by the MAP process are mild compared to the SEG scratches, and the MAP process appears to produce none of the "shot holes" of missing silicon that the SWAM process produces.

Tycho "Hours (Teen Daze Remix)"
- Words: Patric Fallon
Full disclosure: We've been spinning Tycho's forthcoming LP, Dive, in the XLR8R office more or less every day since it was sent over to us by releasing label Ghostly. And while we still can't seem to get enough of its sun-bleached synth melodies and buoyant drum rhythms, we don't mind hearing another take of the stellar "Hours" single from Canadian producer Teen Daze. It seems that the remixing artist might feel the same way we do about his tune's source material, as this unofficial rework of Tycho's track doesn't stray too far from its original state.

Anyone else find household chores. Like fixing things, cleaning the garage, etc., generally easier and more enjoyable whilst drinking some homebrew?
I just fixed a toilet in my less than 1 year old newly built home and realize I have a lot to owe to my homebrew for motivation in completing much needed tasks this last year...
Shoveling snow, painting...
Sometimes I go to bottle and have to empty the sink and/or dishwasher first. Does that count?
I will enjoy a homebrew or three after an especially grueling task, but I tend to not drink while I'm working. It is bad for business.
Primary: McPoyle IIPA, Red-x/Amarillo SMaSH
On Deck: Eau Rouge
On Tap: McPoyle IIPA, Samsquanch RIS, Calypso SMaSH, Regal Pale Ale
I find that no matter what the task is, drinking a Homebrew whilst doing said task is always a good thing. I will do a task and then have a Homebrew. After that I will have a Homebrew while contimplating the tasks which I have completed, then have more Homebrews while I mull over what tasks I would like to do in the future. I follow up all of this work and thinking by a few more Homebrews.
Except power tools...that might be a good exception.
Give a man a beer, waste an hour. Teach a man to brew, and waste a lifetime! Bill Owen quote
Join the Beacon Point (Aurora, CO) Brewclub on Facebook- casual, fun brewing, drinking, socializing!
One of my tenants called me to take a look at the garbage disposal a couple days ago while I was mid-homebrew. Set my beer on the counter and broke out the screwdriver and disassembled, unclogged (how did they get what looked like an entire cigar stuck in there?), and reassembled it in record time so I could get back to my beer. I am glad I set my beer aside beforehand though as there was some nasty water in there. Yep.
Tasks always go a bit easier when you know a home brew is waiting for you.
I know that cleaning up the yard goes much quicker and is more enjoyable with a few homebrews in me. Just move things around and call it yard art. Sit back and enjoy how great it looks. Or mowing, because instead of mowing the grass, wouldn't it be better to just burn it off and let it grow back anew? Also keeps it from growing back so fast.
There is one thing I do not recommend doing after a few beers, hanging outdoor Christmas lights. Or for that matter, anything else that involves ladders, electricity and wiring. This comes from personal experience. The more aggravated you get with the lights that won't untangle, the faster the beers start going down. Then by the time you get up on the ladder, turning the electricity on and off to check the lights, realize some don't work so decide to start cutting wires and refitting them with other wires, of course use electrical tape around the spots you re-fitted them... back up on the ladder, have someone down below hit the switch to see if it's working now...

It is a MoneySaving nightmare; you are armed with discounted tickets to the theatre, shop vouchers or half price meal deal, then drive to the venue only to find the parking is extortionate and eats up the savings.
But a bit of help may be at hand as a batch of new websites listing free parking spaces have launched. They are not perfect but are worth a look. park-up.com and freeparkingspace.co.uk are the main two and allow you to search simply by popping in post codes, attraction names or popular areas.
Banks have done nothing to protect children's savings interest rates. These dismal deals don't just deprive kids of cash, but also of the valuable lesson that your money needs to work for you.
I want to show you how children can earn up to 6 per cent interest, grab freebies and allow parents to save tax-free too.
Do children pay tax?
We have seen lots of temporary "free eye test" promotions from opticians - but now Tesco has gone a step further. It is offering permanently free eye tests at 131 in-store opticians, which tend to be located in the larger branches.
Of course, for the under-16s or over-60s, or those with certain medical conditions, they are free anyway - and for everyone who lives in Scotland. But for everyone else, there is normally a £10-£25 charge. So this is perfect if you want to go for a quick check-up.
Interest rates may be at their lowest rate for over 200 years, but small loan rates have more than doubled. But there's a way to manipulate the finance market to get a loan at under half that cost.
Why rates have jumped
No I'm not suggesting you need Weight Watchers – nor does your bum look big in that. However perhaps you've a "friend" who might be interested in a loophole to get a three-month subscription to the points-based weight-loss scheme for free.
Normally you pay a £30 registration fee and £11 a month but, by combining two current promotions, you can wipe those out.
Spring's shown its face, which means it's time to rewrite your budget. April was the big price-change month for the NHS, local authorities, utility firms and more. Normally we see a host of prices rises. Yet, as prices often depend on inflation and last year that was negative, there are some ups and downs and, with inflation now booming, we can expect big rises in 12 months' time.
The winners
● The Basic State Pension - it's gone UP!
Millions of people bought iPhones from o2 when it launched a few years ago, and many of those phones are now out of contract.
Yet you could still be paying a hefty £30-£45 per month tariff. But there is a simple way to slash this.
Sign up to another year's contract, still with o2, and for £15 a month you get 300 any time, any network minutes plus unlimited texts and data - the same you would pay £35 per month for if you simply carried on with an old contract.
While ISA (individual savings accounts) rates have had a justifiably bad press recently, they still vastly out-pay the best savings accounts. My aim is to ensure you know what you are doing.
● The Basics
The cheapest way to spend abroad is by using the right plastic, it can easily save you £100s on your holiday spend. Yet as it can take up to six weeks from applying to receiving a card, now's the perfect time to get organised in time for summer.
While banks themselves get an unbeatable exchange rate, use your credit and debit cards and they almost always add a 'load' of around 3 per cent, e.g. buy £200 worth of Shekels and you'd pay £206. What's more, many debit cards also add a fee of £1.50 every time you spend.
If you saw someone feeding twenty five £10 notes into an open fire to keep warm, would you stop them? It is a ludicrous waste of cash, yet across the nation people are doing just that to keep warm, unnecessarily putting the notes into gas and electricity companies' coffers.
Now is the perfect time to switch energy providers.
Last month the final five of the big six energy companies cut their prices. That means that if you do a price comparison then there's a level playing between the providers.

On Alex Smith's future beyond the 49ers
January, 26, 2013
By Mike Sando | ESPN.com
ESPN's John Clayton offers some thoughts in the video above regarding Alex Smith's future beyond the San Francisco 49ers' current season.
I've put together a companion chart showing traditional and advanced stats for the games Smith started in each of the past three seasons. The numbers have improved year by year.
Teams with interest in Smith will have to determine to what degree that improvement can continue in the absence of coach Jim Harbaugh, offensive coordinator Greg Roman, quarterbacks coach Geep Chryst, the rest of the 49ers' staff and the team's strong personnel.
Earlier: Chris Sprow's analysis for Insider on potential landing spots for Smith.

Grocery Warning
Anybody read this book?
Sounds interesting, although rather expensive at $89.00
I couldn't find any "real" reviews on line.
are you suprised? who knew my dad could get rid of his diabetes by merely buying this book.
im sorry but i smell a scam.
A rule I live by: any person or organization that claims to know "the truth" is a scam or a crackpot.
re: rockycat
If you're talking about "Patient, Heal Thyself," I'd recommend giving it a second glance. It's helped my Crohn's disease in proportion to the amount I've been willing to follow its advice (which admitadly varies). And only a few suppliments are necessary: probiotics (which are good for you anyway) and rice bran complex (also very good for you anyway). The rest you can use as a standard instead of a rule (eat less sugar and wheat).
I'd never give up my GI, though.
I read the website you gave and if I were you, I would save your money. I have a feeling they are going to tell you the following:
-trans fat is bad
-corn syrup is bad
-artificial colors are bad and cause ADHD
-sulfides are bad and cause asthma
-nitrates and nitrites cause birth defects
-msg cause GI problems
-reading the nutrition labels will tell you what is healthy
I have a feeling that you won't find out anything you shouldn't already know.
re: sunshinedrop
exactly. scam.
I'll just wait until my SIL buys it and borrow it off her. This is right up her ally.
Somewhere P.T. Barnum is smiling.
Right after buying this book, jfood will answer all the emails from people in Africa looking for representatives in the US, informing him that he won the UK Lottery, telling him that he has just been left $100MM in someone's will and that they want to send him a boxful of diamonds.
News flash for those who buy the book. If you stub your toe, it will hurt. Please send $9.95 to the Jfood Truth in Pain Institute for this insight.
Truthfully, anyone who buys this book deserves it, and deserves to have their name sold to other scam artists.
re: Hoosierland
Is that like a Power Ranger? Or more like Yogi's Ranger Smith?
re: mojoeater
LMAO! Maybe more like a healthy version of the Lone Ranger?
HiHo Tofu...Awaayyyyyyy!
re: Hoosierland
Read the following quip further down:
"at age 37, Adams is a shining example of peak human health, and he pursues gymnastics, cycling, martial arts and Capoeira, staying active at an age when many people are suffering advances stages of cancer, diabetes or depression"
So to your WTF jfood adds BFD. At 15 years his senior jfood is capable of the same and disagrees that even at his "advanced" age group the population has "many" people suffering from these unfortunate diseases.
What a hoax.
Pretty simple, eat healthy, exercise, don't smoke and take everything in moderation. Wow sounds like the name of jfood's first book.
