Rated 2 out of 5 by JGZ2 Marginal review The electrical failure which closed down the upper level elevators for a day and a half and resulted in no electricity and air conditioning for a number of hours on the second day put quite a damper on out stay at the hotel. June 22, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Lynn610 My experience was unsatisfactory I stayed at the hotel for 3 nights. The food service was lacking and did nor T offer quality services. On the second day there was a power failure on the hig rise floors. I was on the. 37 th floor and the elevators only went to 29. The hotel had one elevator operational and the wait exceeded 30 minutes. Alternatively I walked up and down from 37 to 29. Additionally the tv was out the elevator remained out of service for the rest of the stay there was no room service because if thus and the restaurant in the hotel, when operational, closed at 2:00 in the afternoon. I would not stay at this hotel again nor would I recommend it to anyone June 22, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by CanadianA Hotel in Crisis Management Mode When we visited, the hotel was in full crisis management mode. A major power failure had knocked out most elevator service to the the top 20 floors and power to some rooms. The crisis took about 36 hours to resolve and involved much extra work for staff but the staff seemed to deal with the issues in a calm, friendly and professional manner. For example when I advised Geraldine at Guest Services that my wife was afraid of being on one of the floors lacking elevator service we were promptly moved to a lower floor with full elevator service. We were most appreciative of Geraldine's help. Despite the power failure we had a very good experience in this hotel. Management is to be congratulated. June 22, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by cosmo314 Andrew J. Devany Ohio Heartland CAC I was at the Sheraton for a confernce. The staff were friendly and accessible. My room was nice and comfortable. The food served at the conference was very bland and mediocre. Certaninly not what you expect when you visit New Orleans. For two days of my 3 day stay the elevators were out to the floor wheere my room was located. On numerous occasions I was forced to walk up 6 flights of stairs to get to my room. On one occasion I walked down 29 flights of stairs because the one elevator that was in operation on the 29 th floor had an enormous and growing waiting line. I am 66 years old and have a minor heart condition multiple flights of stairs can be a real challenge for me. In light of this disappointing situation I feel that the Sheraton should offer some type of benefit to all customers who had rooms above the 29th floor for the days in question. I realize that the Sheraton is running a business and mechanical failures do occur, but, they also have a reputation that has been tarnished by this situation. June 21, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Mirelyme Horrible experience and clueless manager I have stayed at this Sheraton many times over the years, but this will be my last. The hotel experienced a power problem which kncoked out the high rise elevators as well as TV service. First let me say the staff was excellent and did what they could, but mgmt made two fatal mistakes. First, the hotel did not proactively offer any guest some sort of accomodation for the tremendous inconvenience, nothing, not even a free breakfast, newspaper or cocktail. Second, the staff on duty was overwhelmend. The morning of checkout there were at least 100 people in line to check out and only TWO desk clerks. Unbelievably horrific service during an emergency event. as I said earlier, the staff was pleasant and professional at all times, but the hotel management was clueless on what they should have done to apologize for the inconvenience and make some token offer to make up for the tremendous inconvenience. June 21, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by BeccaO Wonderful hotel and location! Although there were issue with the elevators, the staff was very attentive and helpful, and they did their best in a difficult situation. I can't wait to come back! Thank you! June 21, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by TTRiii Beware of the elevators During our stay the elevators to the upper floors did not work. The staff tried very hard to make up for the inconvenience but it did not really ease the fact that we couldn't get to our rooms at times. June 21, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by AvidAdventurer2014 Awesome location! Couldn't ask for a better location!! June 20, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by nwkuo5376 Excellent location and service Originally, I scheduled to check in Sheraton New Orleans on May 30. However, due to flight misconnection, I arrived at New Orleans on May 31. When I checked in at Sheraton New Orleans, the counter staff kindly offered me adjusting the original reservation from 3 nights (from May 30 to June 02) to 2 nights (from May 31 to June 02). The room is clean. Housekeeping do a good job. Location is excellent and is very close to French Quarter. June 20, 2014

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jimbob2758 Conference I stayed at this Hotel as a result of attending a conference. Both the Conference facilities and personal accommodations were very good. Family enjoyed the pool and local cuisine and attractions. June 20, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Steve51 This hotel did not meet expectations I made my reservation at least a month in advance and when I arrived late in the afternoon, our room was not ready. We had to wait around an extra 90 minutes before we got something close to what was our preferred choice of room. In addition, there was a power failure in the hotel which knocked out the elevator system. This resulted in long waits to get to the 36th floor. I also thought that $42/day for parking was excessive. June 20, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Maui808 Disappointed Being a part of Starwood Hotels, I didn't expect that my hotel stay at the Sheraton New Orleans would be my least favorite about my recent trip. My reservation says river view but I was put in a room with a street view, next to the elevator and electrical room. I guess my room has not been occupied for a while, glass tables were dusty. We traveled for almost a day so we didn't bother to be transferred to another room. I did call the next day but I was basically told that's what I got so deal with it. And we didn't have a mini fridge, something that even small inns provide nowadays. We had to buy a styrofoam coooler from CVS Pharmacy down the street just to keep our bottled water cold (took a picture but can't attach it here). I also left a message to the General Manager, Jim Cook, but I didn't hear back from him. I attended a big conference and my hotel experience just made me think about customer satisfaction, as what the hotel industry is all about. What if I am a guest whose vote (1 vote) will determine whether or not to use Sheraton again for the next big conference. Not trying to over react but just to show my dissatisfaction with my hotel stay. With the price I paid, I am really disappointed with my hotel experience. At least Sheraton provided me with a place to sleep in and a place to shower for 7 days. June 19, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Theresa512 Hotel has a great location but needs a few improvements The hotel it's self was beautiful, great bar area with lots of local art work and photography on display. Had a pool which was nice on the 8th floor, kinda small but will do the job. Upon check in the front desk staff very nice and accommodating, she said I requested a handicap room which I did not request. I didn't want a room with the handicap tub so we ended up taking one for a deaf person (which is great they had that many options for different handicaps, including a lift into the pool). My problems were in the room, looked clean on surface but I saw ring around the toilet, the black moldy kind (first day I thought it was markings or paint) so I didn't mention it to my husband. Third day he mentioned it, I told him that the hotel promises to thoroughly clean the room and change all bedding after the third day. So I didn't do anything. Fourth day came back to hotel and checked toilet, still hadn't been cleaned enough and they never changed the bedding, I had spilled a bit on water on bedding which left water stains. It looked like the same bedding. All in all, the cleanliness was the only problem. I wanted a clean room from the start.. June 18, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by PSD33 Very Loud This hotel was wonderful for the location of surrounding attractions, the conference was set up great and the ability to access the room with the plethora of elevators is great. The walls are very thin, the doors slam very hard, and the constant running water in the bathroom leaves one somewhat sleep deprived. The valet parking is somewhat objectionable. I enjoyed New Orleans, however, I would look at possible alternatives when booking a room in the future. June 18, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by scsd New Orleans Great Location--loved my stay here. June 17, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by likesprofessionalism Dissapointed as we checked in! We converted our home property to starpoints to come to New Orleans for our first time and when we checked in they sent us to a room with 2 queen beds next to the busy elevator, even though we paid extra points to get a king size bed with a balcony overlooking the famous Bourbon Street. 2 Beds on what was supposed to be a fun romantic trip to N.O. was not what we had in mind! The part that was most frustrating was that they didn't say a word, or try to explain, just sent us there! Like we wouldn't notice? So back to the front desk to let them know they made a mistake and now they explain that they are over booked and will try to move us to the room we had reserved the next day. When I mentioned how disappointing this was I was given a shrug and a "it happens" kind of thing. So back to the room to make the best of it and there we find a cell phone left behind by the previous occupant. Makes one question how well the room was cleaned? Next day we did get the room we had used extra points to pay for, but of course requires time to move everything and repack toiletries. We did love our new room and view, but our balcony was filthy. The balcony floor was sticky and needed cleaning desperately and I had to clean the patio furniture myself. Feeling like I was just putting more work than expected we stopped by the front desk to let them know that we were not happy paying for the premium room when we didn't get it for all our nights and he said he'd try to get us some extra points back. Never happened. They just didn't really seem to care. June 17, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Jeffreynei54 Trip for APSAC The restaurant staff were unresponsive; I left after not being spoken to after 5 minutes. Three different soda machines did not work on three different floors. Bathrooms were not functional on the floors where my conference occurred. June 16, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by PHC1 Just the little things I stayed at the Sheraton for a wedding weekend, and had no major problems. For the Sheraton name and the cost of the room, I had higher expectations. A mini-bar is certainly not necessary, but a small fridge is the norm and was not available without ordering it and paying a fee. My key deactivated 3 times: the first time, they sent someone up to let me in, but I had to go down to the desk and get another key (during the wedding reception!), the second and third times I went to the desk and was nonchalantly told "this should work." In total, I spent a good portion of the afternoon and evening of a lovely wedding reception dealing with room access. There also seemed to be a shortage of valet/bellmen. Again, not a necessity, but with costly valet parking, I certainly had higher expectations. June 16, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Obi25 NOLA EXPERIENCE The Sheraton New Orleans was a great place to stay. Walking distance to everything in the area. The staff was excellent and very nice. My tub was stopped up in one room and they moved me to another room no problem. I will definitely be staying there when I return. June 16, 2014

Rated 1 out of 5 by BOYLEE123 Needs Major Improvement I am a Starwood Preferred member and try to stay at one of the properties on all of my business travels (3x times a month). I was extremely disappointed in the Sheraton New Orleans. They put me in a room that shared a wall with an elevator shaft so I had to try and sleep with the sounds of people talking waiting for the elevator and it moving up and down between floors every night. Additionally, I called for a wake up call for an early morning, and the front desk called me an hour early after one of these sleepless nights because they had written the hour down wrong. When I had to wake up for my 6am flight out of New Orleans, I tried to take a shower to find that there was no hot water to be had at 4am. Not a pleasant stay at all, will be staying elsewhere on my next trip down. June 10, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 NO SLEEP Well the first night I knew the moment I got off the elvator on the 19th floor I was going to be in trouble as I noticed what looked like HIGH SCHOOL nametags on teh doors. I continued to my room and when I went to bed, I was awaked by loud mothed teens in the room next to me at 2:30am.. I called Hotel Security they sent some one up to ask them to keep it down, that lasted about 15 min. then it sounded like they were jumping on the beds or falling into walls. by this time I am wide awake with no possibility of fallaing back to sleep. NOT HAPPY. The air was also terrible. I asked to be moved the next morning. to another floor. They moved me. But i really expected a little more like a REFUND. June 10, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Melissa15 Conference stay Location couldn't be beat. Desk staff were great. Hotel itself seems "tired", could use some updates. They were out of king rooms when I arrived so I had to take two doubles. Room was very small. Beds were comfortable but could not sleep because of noise all night long (maybe from the elevators going up and down, I'm not quite sure). Ice machine on my floor was missing, so I had to go to another floor for ice. Problem with a/c - even though i kept it at 65, room was very warm. June 9, 2014

Thank you. I was prepared to believe that the dress was blue and black, but not that the image of it contained black (FWIW, I have always seen it as unambiguously blue/brown from the start, before I knew there was a question.)
The explanation I read (New Scientist) completely overlooked the significant issue of accuracy in color reproduction, both in the camera and in the display.
I think it's plausible that Lenovo was unaware of the risks that Superfish created. Now its management has figured out what it would cost to police their bloatware offerings, and realized that the relatively meager revenue it brings in does not cover that cost.
The [many-eyes] hypothesis doesn't even come into play until the existence of the bug is known.
If that is so, then it doesn't help much with security, where finding exploitable bugs (and doing so before they are exploited) is usually the hard part.

Problem with sticker bushes (briars)
I hope I'm in the right category for this posting.
A few years ago we had a timber company come in and cut down several acres of pines that we replanted.
Now that the new trees are growing in, all along the outer edges of the areas cut down, we have a major problem with nasty sticker bushes or briars. I believe they may be some type of wild black berry(?) There is so much of it that we can't walk along the trails we made from the fire lines put in by the timber companies.
Anyone know of a non-toxic, organic spray we can use to kill these, if there is such a thing? Any other method to control this stuff?
There are several "sticker" bushes that these could be, wild blackberry (or a cousin), one of the barberries, and others. The bramble fruiting types spread from an extensive root system that needs to be dug out, there simply is no spray that will kill them, no matter what those that like to spray will tell you. The barberries grow from a seed, usually planted by a bird, and while really pricky they can be yanked out and do not have a very extensive root system.
By the way, any spray, dust, or whatever, that kills someting is toxic.

Jonathan Alter: Reflections on darker Democratic days
In 1968, I was a 10-year-old Chicagoan, fascinated by politics, determined to hang out at the convention. My mother was working for Vice President Hubert Humphrey and my father for Sen. Eugene McCarthy, both of whom had their convention headquarters at the Conrad Hilton Hotel on Michigan Avenue, not far down the street from where Barack Obama's headquarters is today. It was late August, only a couple of months after the assassination of Bobby Kennedy, and even before Chicago police started clubbing reporters and demonstrators outside the hotel, the mood was tense.
Humphrey, the presumptive nominee and soon-to-be Senate tutor of a 30-year-old freshman named Joe Biden, had entered no primaries, but he had the support of President Johnson, as well as the urban bosses who still ran the party. His slogan, "the politics of joy," was especially off-key that year, as a bitter struggle over the Vietnam War swept the country. Humphrey had started out as a Minnesota pharmacist, so someone got the dumb idea of having part of his headquarters decked out like an old-fashioned pharmacy. My mother, who knew Humphrey, volunteered there, running the pharmacy that sold Humphrey buttons, posters, scarves and other memorabilia. Business wasn't brisk....
As Rick Pearlstein recounts in his new book, "Nixonland," Humphrey left the convention trailing Richard Nixon badly in the polls. It was the worst "reverse-bounce" in history. But after he broke with LBJ on the war in a speech in Salt Lake City, Humphrey began quickly closing the gap. He lost in November by a hair.
One of the reasons for Humphrey's loss was that many McCarthy supporters (not my father) refused to close party ranks and support him. They were so angry over the war and their personal bitterness over the way McCarthy was treated that they sniped at Humphrey publicly and stayed home in November.
Some of these people—then in their mid-20s or 30s, and now in their mid-60s or 70s—are the same liberal Democrats who say they cannot vote for Obama. Their long hair is gray or gone and they certainly aren't sleeping in the park, but the anger they feel resonates of 1968. They might want to consider what happened to the United States after Nixon was elected. It wasn't pretty.

Golden Gate University names Rachel Van Cleave as law school dean
Golden Gate University named interim law school dean Rachel Van Cleave to the permanent post, the school said Wednesday.
Van Cleave, a Fulbright scholar and Golden Gate University professor since 2004, had been associate dean of academic affairs since 2008.

bees and horses
I'm aware bees and horses aren't fond of each other, but I was wondering if anyone out there has any personal experience with keeping both in relatively close proximity? We have horses pastured on our land and would liketo start keeping bees. Where ever we put the hives, they would be near horse pasture. (just outside the fence) Any farmers (or others) out there who have real life experiencce with keeping both in close proximity? Thanks -jd
>>Where ever we put the hives, they would be near horse pasture
How near is near?
I was growing up on a farm with horses cows and bees, it never seemed to
be a problem.
Honeybees never bothered the animals.
I asked a lady beekeeping friend of mine for her comments on this question since I know she has kept hives in relatively close proximity to horses for many years. Here is what she had to say:
I have kept bees for years with horses close by. They are across the road (barely room for two cars to pass). I have also heard that they do not get along well with horses. I have also heard of horses getting numerous stings. I have wondered how many of these problems could have been prevented if the bees were at a reasonable distance and beekeeping practices included keeping gentle strains of bees and the beekeeper maintaining the hives to lessen the late summer "robbing/aggressive" behavior that occurs. I mentored two girls that had 2-3 hives next to a fence with horses on the other side. When we worked the bees they came to the fence and we often took time to rub their head. In the year I worked with the girls there were no problems. They were keeping very gentle bees and doing a good job maintaining their hives. It is wise to remember that although all went well, bees are unpredictable.
I find it interesting that she didn't elect to mention the period of time (perhaps a two or three year duration) when horses were kept in an adjacent field to her hives and the horses could come within about ten feet of her hives (separated by a wooden fence). As I recall, they did present a problem for her but I believe it was mostly a problem with their owner and maybe not so much with the actual horses. (He eventually sold the property so the problem resolved itself). I think she makes a good point about the bees' change to a more aggressive nature in the fall and how this could possibly not be a good situation with horses close by.
dumas did a fine job in solving hes or her problem,
good common sense!
there are many other ways, 2 examples...
I would give at least 40 feet, if that can't be done, you can erect a fence about 15 feet from the hive, so the bees have to fly almost vertical when they come and go.

Yeah, I'm sure this has been posted before, but Uncle Ted expresses my opinions exactly. Only liked a few of his songs though
I swear, by my life and my love of it, that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine.
-Ayn Rand
Ted is most definitly THE MAN.
"A whole gaggle of numb-nuts", right on the money.
The federal gov has no authority to enact any gun laws, period. It is not their resonsibility,period.
I understand that in todays society there are many people who are afraid of guns and feel they are dangerous, this is a dead horse and I'm not gonna beat it because all here know better. I say this because, WHEN and I don't mean if, our second ammendment rights are no longer restricted, and ALL citizens of this great country of ours are permitted to carry in any way shape or form they choose, it will not take long for this hoplophobia sillyness to disappear. Firearms on hips, shoulder holsters,slung across peoples backs, however folks decide to carry will be a perfectly normal, everyday, run-of-the-mill thing.
I further believe that violent crime will be virtually non-existant, people will be polite and RESPECTFULL of others,etc,etc...
It would,in my estimation, only take,at most 2 generations, people can adapt to anything so this one would be easy.
How about here in Illinois the last state to deny any type of carry?
I'd gladly pay the $105 to defend myself although I think it's wrong.
$25 for a permit and all the paperwork entailed seems justified.
Just a couple bug guns.
I'm totally in agreement with bkt on this.
Its not the cost of the permit-its the requirement that we must bow and scrape for permission to excersize an inalienable right.
Its the 'permit',or rather the 'permission slip' we must have from government that makes me sick.
And too many people are falling for this new control scheme.
I can understand people being relived to finally have some iota of power to excersize their right-but this isnt exactly what I call a right being excersized.
Its a privilege being bureaucratically administered by out of control government.
I dont exactly see where in the Second Amendment it says we have the right to bear arms only with permission,does anyone else?
I myself am in agreeance with bkt we as a country should be able to carry how ever and when ever we want to. With out government interference! As far as the felons go I believe they should have the felon identity on their drivers license and or identification card. Then the mandated protocall for purchasing a firearm would be just simply showing your license and or id and still having your criminal history check.That's my opinion and we all know what opinions are. (they are just like a$$holes we all have them and some stink and some don't)
"I know what you're thinking. "Did he fire six shots or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off!" - Dirty Harry

BILOXI, Miss. -- Cabinet officials from the Japanese government visited the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Biloxi Transitional Recovery Office (TRO). The delegation met with TRO chief of staff Alec Watson and program section chiefs to discuss emergency management methods and the experiences of the senior staff following Hurricane Katrina. The officials met previously with Mississippi Emergency Management Agency staff and toured their Emergency Operations Center in Pearl, Miss.
"This meeting and exchange of ideas will hopefully allow other nations to benefit from our work here on the Gulf Coast," said Watson. "Our organization is new to FEMA in size and mission, but the knowledge we can share about response and recovery operations is invaluable."
The officials were eager to discover the lessons learned by the people directly involved in the immediate response following the largest disaster in United States history and the current recovery focus of the TRO. Topics covered included disaster response communication and coordination, emergency housing, restoration of public infrastructure and the National Flood Insurance Program.
"We are honored for the opportunity to meet with FEMA staff," said Kozo Aoyama, president of the Urban Policy Institute of New York and consultant who also attended the meeting. "It's a great chance to learn what procedures we can implement for future disaster response in Japan ."
Biloxi was the final stop in a tour of FEMA facilities in Mississippi and Louisiana as the group examined FEMA's daily operations. The delegation included: Goro Yasuda, Counselor for Disaster Management; Masami Watanabe, Deputy Director for Disaster Response Operations, and Koji Matsui, Deputy Director for Disaster Recovery and Reconstruction. Three consultants accompanied the officials: Aoyama, Harumi Yashiro and Yuji Honda of Tokio Marine & Nichido Risk Consulting Co., Ltd. Yukiko Henninger served as translator for the cabinet officials.
FEMA manages federal response and recovery efforts following any national incident, initiates mitigation activities and manages the National Flood Insurance Program. FEMA works closely with state and local emergency managers, law enforcement personnel, firefighters and other first responders. FEMA became part of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security on March 1, 2003.

16. The process according to claim 15, wherein said solution comprises water and phosphoric acid in a ratio in the range of 10:1 to 50:1.
17. The process according to claim 16, wherein said solution is at a temperature in the range of 40� C. to 60� C.
18. The process according to claim 17, wherein said phosphoric acid removes fluorine, chlorine, and oxide residues from said conductive features.
This invention relates to semiconductor manufacturing, and more particularly to minimizing pitting during a metallization process, especially useful when fabricating conductive features.
When fabricating conductive features in a semiconductor, a chlorine (Cl) residue may remain on the surfaces of the metal stacks from which the features are formed, as illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 1a. As a result, voids or pits in the feature tend to result upon processing the metal through a heat step, such as an alloy step. The pitting has been especially noticeable in metal layers comprising titanium, for example, an aluminum (Al), titanium (Ti), and copper (Cu) stack. Such a stack may be used in the fabrication of metal interconnects, buses, vias, etc. This problem has been described in "A Novel Via Failure Mechanism in an Al-Cu/Ti Double Metal Level System," by Freiberger and Wu.
Current approaches to the above stated problem involve the use of a chromic phosphoric acid solution on the metal surfaces. While this material is somewhat effective in solving the problem, chromic phosphoric acid is highly carcinogenic, and therefore requires special handling during use and disposal. Thus, alternative solutions are being sought by the industry.
Another problem exists with regard to metallization process in bond pad formation. Aluminum is a metal with a very high chemical reactivity. Unfortunately, certain oxide layers interfere with the efficient functioning of the semiconductor device.
During the metal patterning step the aluminum bond pads are defined and etched. Subsequently, a passivation layer is deposited on the device to protect the device throughout the testing and packaging processes. However, the protective layer is first removed from the conductive bond pads through a pad mask patterning step. The pad mask step is typically done in a plasma or dry etch chamber.
After a semiconductor device has undergone the pad mask step, residual fluorine may remain on the bond pads from the etch chemicals, for example CHF3, used in the process. This fluorine residue causes a condition referred to as "gummy pads" which is characterized by an adhesive-like oxide substance remaining on the bond pads (as illustrated in FIG. 5), which substance clings to the probe tips during die testing.
The "gummy bond pads" arise because the silicon nitride layer superjacent the aluminum bond pads is typically overetched. Fluorine (F) from the etch process is deposited onto the aluminum of the bond pads, producing an AlFO3 oxide layer on the bond pads. The fluorine acts as an oxidizing agent which creates a greater than normal layer of oxide, thereby resulting in high resistivity, and consequently, low yields when probed.
In one embodiment, the process of the present invention employs a wet chemical process to remove chlorine from the resulting metal features after the metallization layers have been defined and dry etched, and the resist layer has been stripped. The wet chemical process of the present invention also functions to passivate the metal features. Subsequently, these metal features will undergo an alloy step.
The process of the present invention employs a 20:1 deionized water:phosphoric acid solution to the metal surfaces subsequent to the stripping of the photoresist layer, thereby substantially alleviating the classic formation of corrosion which occurs after the alloy step.
In an alternative embodiment, the wet chemical etch process of the present invention is performed after the bond pads of a semiconductor device have undergone the pad mask step, in order to remove the residual fluorine which may remain on the bond pads from the previous etch process.
The dilute phosphoric acid process of the present invention has been found to be effective in removing the residue, thereby substantially overcoming the "gummy" bond pad problem as well.
One advantage of the process of the present invention is that a solution containing deionized water and phosphoric acid is not carcinogenic, and therefore does not require the special handling and disposal associated with carcinogens.
A further advantage of phosphoric acid is its low cost and commercial availability, thereby making the process of the present invention more economical to use.
The present invention will be better understood from reading the following description of nonlimitative embodiments, with reference to the attached drawings, wherein below:
FIG. 1 is a schematic top view of a conductive feature after an alloy step has been performed, showing the voids or pits;
FIG. 1a is a schematic cross section of the feature of FIG. 1, also showing a "skin" which results from the presence of a residue on the feature before the feature underwent an alloy step;
FIG. 2 is a schematic cross section of a metallization scheme which has been patterned with a resist layer;
FIG. 3 is a schematic cross section of a conductive feature formed from the metallization scheme of FIG. 2, also showing a residue;
FIG. 4 is a schematic cross section of the feature of FIG. 3 after undergoing the process of the present invention;
FIG. 5 is a schematic cross section of a bond pad having an oxide layer disposed thereon; and
FIG. 6 is a schematic cross section of the bond pad of FIG. 5, after the oxide layer was removed by the process of the present invention.
The process of the present invention is useful when etching conductive layers to form metal features, for example, bond pads, interconnects, contacts, vias, buses, metal runners, etc. These features are fabricated from a variety of conductive materials, including but not limited to: aluminum (Al), titanium (Ti), Molybdenum (Mo), palladium (Pd), Copper (Cu), silicon (Si), and titanium nitride (TIN). It is to be understood that the embodiments shown and described are merely illustrative, and that the process of the present invention is useful when fabricating, passivating, or cleaning a variety of conductive features.
In the metalization process of forming conductive features, a conductive metallic layer 2, 2A is deposited preferably by sputtering, or other suitable method, onto the superjacent a semiconductor wafer 1. In the illustrative embodiment of FIG. 2, the layers 2, 2A are comprised of aluminum-5% copper, and titanium, and are preferably sputter deposited to a thickness of approximately 10 kÅ and 1000 Å, respectively. The wafer 1 is then patterned with a resist layer 3, preferably a dyed metal resist 3.
The conductive metallic layer 2, 2A is then patterned and etched together, by any of the methods known in the art, such as for example, a masked photoresist 3 followed by a dry or plasma.
FIG. 3 illustrates the metal features 2 after they have been etched. The conductive layers 2, 2A can be etched with any chlorine containing etch chemistry known in the art, for example, BCl3, Cl2, N2, and NF3. Alternatively, boron trifluoride (BF3), and silicon tetrafluoride (SiF4) can be substituted for the nitrogen trifluoride (NF3) in the above combination of etchants. Other alternatives include: chlorotrifluoro-silane (SiClF3), dichloro-difluoro-silane (SiCl2 F2) and chloro-trifluoro-silane (SiClF3). The etch is frequently a substantially anisotropic etch. An over etch may be done with a chemistry of BCl3, Cl2, N2, and Ar.
Referring to FIGS. 1 and 1a, a problem associated with the fabrication of metal or conductive structures 2B is illustrated. Once a feature is etched into the conductive layer 2, 2A, and the photoresist layer 3 is removed (or stripped), a heat step, referred to as an "alloy," is often performed. If a residue 3 or a contaminant remains on the metal feature 2B, a void or pit 4 tends to form during the heat process, representing a form of corrosion.
The observed voids 4 have a characteristic appearance, in that a "skin" 3A covers the corroded area. The "skin" 3A is believed to be caused by residue 3 left on the conductive features 2B or driven into the surface of the metal. The residue 3A reacts at high temperatures to consume or corrode the metal features 2B, but chlorinated carbon compounds 3 remain, which chlorinated carbon compounds 3 result in the characteristic "skin" 3A.
The activation heat required for the formation of voids 4 appears to be at temperatures greater than 300� C. When alloying steps using temperatures in excess of 350� C. are performed, large voids 4 tend to appear in a random pattern on metal geometries 2, 2B.
Through the use of the 20:1 phosphoric acid solution dip of the process of the present invention, the voids 4 are substantially eliminated in alloying steps up to approximately 425� C., as shown in FIG. 4. Beyond 500� C., the alloy step begins to vaporize the metal feature as well. With the dramatic reduction in chlorine, there is no reaction of the chlorine with the aluminum-titanium-copper metal stack during the subsequent heating step involved in alloying the metal stack 2, 2A. This reaction is a consumption of non-specific areas on metal runners.
This extremely light phosphoric acid etch substantially removes the chlorine or other contaminants 3 that reside after the photoresist stripping process, which stripping process follows the chlorine metal etch.
Referring to FIG. 5, a problem experienced in manufacturing reliable bond pads 5 is shown. A conductive bond pad 5 comprised for example of a metal, such as aluminum, or a metal alloy, is disposed on a substrate 6 on which has been grown or deposited an oxide layer 7 of a semiconductor device. The conductive pad 5 can be oxidized when exposed to atmospheric oxygen, or in some cases, moisture, thereby forming an insulating layer 7.
The semiconductor device is typically, passivated with a layer of silicon dioxide and SiN3 O. The passivation layer is then removed from the bond pad or other metal areas by an etch process. Typically, the etch process is a dry/plasma etch, and is performed in fluorine containing gases, such as CHF3. Other gases may be used such as, CF4, C2 F6, C2 F2, C4 F8, etc. These fluorine-containing gases frequently leave a residue 7 on the bond pad 5.
Hence, prior to the formation of the interconnect (not shown), a source of contamination (and possible failure) is already present in the device. The presence of fluorine in the oxide layer exacerbates the problem further by causing the pad to become highly resistive. This results in the wafer being "gummy", referring to the fluoride oxide which collects on the probe tips.
Removal of the residual fluorine oxide layer 7 significantly increases the reliability of the device by limiting the opportunities for corrosion, and hence protecting the integrity, of the bond pad 5 or other conductive feature.
To solve both of the above described problems, the process of the present invention employs a very dilute mixture of deionized water and phosphoric acid to very lightly etch the aluminum with substantially no adverse affect to the metal profile or the critical dimension.
Other embodiments of the process solution should contain phosphorous. An alternative to deionized water is potassium nitrate. Heavy metals, such as chromic phosphoric may also be effective, but they are not as commercially feasible.
There is a wide process window for the process of the present invention. The preferred embodiment of the invention employs a solution of deionized water and phosphoric acid in a ratio of 20:1. In this proportion the solution only consumes 0.02 μm of metal in all directions. However, solutions in the approximate range of 10:1 to 50:1 can be used.
The preferred temperature of the solution is substantially within the range of 40� C. to 60� C. At temperatures below 20� C., the phosphoric acid solution did not effectively remove the residual films, and at temperatures above 60� C., the phosphoric acid solution began to etch the metal feature as well. Process times are adjusted to the amount of dilution, mixture, and temperature. However, the reaction may become difficult to control and repeat outside of the preferred parameter ranges.
While the particular wet etch process as herein shown and disclosed in detail is fully capable of obtaining the objects and advantages herein before stated, it is to be understood that it is merely illustrative of the presently preferred embodiments of the invention and that no limitations are intended to the details of construction or design herein shown other than as described in the appended claims. For example, one having ordinary skill in the art will realize that the process can be used effectively on a variety of metal features comprised of a variety of conductive materials, especially those metal stacks comprising titanium.

CSI Accelerator® is a comprehensive, modular .net/SQL application that can be used PC-based or in a client-server set-up and which allows IT architects (SAP key users, SAP auditors, SAP consultants...) to easily build off-line GRC authorization frameworks for SAP platforms in far less time and at seriously reduced cost. And when that work is done, all it takes is one push on the button for SAP to read and fully implement the GRC project.
CSI Accelerator® derives its name from the fact that the application considerably accelerates the development of GRC management tools thanks to on-board libraries, templates and workflows to support diverse GRC mandates and best practices, including SOX, J-SOX and many more.
CSI Accelerator® consists of 6 interrelated modules (CodificationBuilder, Authorization Organizer, Authorization Request, Quality Assurance,Result Container and Controls Organizer) that together constitute the perfect tool for architectural authorization rule and role building.
One of the unique features of CSI Accelerator® is that the application allows for combined and hybrid role concepts thanks to its twin-layered function-task concept that comes with the following advantages: high flexibility, easy to make changes and updates, overall transparency, easy ownership on all levels (data, business processes, users) and easy remediation of segregation of duties conflicts.
On the SAPkey user side, CSI Accelerator® proves to be the perfect documentation tool as the application ensures completeness of documentation. The application allows for a structured overview of all GRC authorization rules and roles and avoids conflicts between them as it automatically links codification to values and highlights deviations.
With only 1 application, CSI Accelerator® allows the SAP key user to document, guide and monitor his business processes, domains (organization structure), codification (authorization object field values), SOX compliance, SOD rules, norm (customizing SAP & who should do what), fact finding, remediation decisions, SAP roles, risks and control objectives, control measures (mitigating controls) and involved persons.
CSI Accelerator® is the perfect solution for SMEs who want to make a first step in SAP GRC automation, but also for multinationals who have the full SAP GRC suite but who are looking for a powerful, more efficient tool to accelerate the GRC implementation and to test and tune the rule and role changes in the SAP product.
CSI Accelerator® has an unparalleled price|quality|performance ratio in the GRC market and can easily be adapted c.q. updated in function of changes in the business process maturity level, legislation and/or IT landscape. The application has unrivalled functionality, is up and running in a few hours, significantly reduces consultancy days, and, comes with zero exit cost.
Once the application is thoroughly documented, CSI Accelerator® can automatically process mass changes in no time which enables SAP key users f.e. to build thousands of authorization roles in 2 days instead of in 6 months, to make roll-outs to new countries on the basis of 1 day per country instead of 2 months per country or to reduce implementation time by 50% and more.

DJ Scream - Always
Artist: DJ Scream
Featuring: QUE., GunPlay, Waka Flocka Flame
Producer: MPC Cartel
Album: Hunger Pains
Avg Rating: 2.5 ( 4 votes )
You can Always count on DJ Scream to put together a high-quality, star-studded street banger, and today is no exception to the rule. His first feature since 2013's National Champs, the freshly-released lead single off his next full-length finds the Chi-town native enlisting a four-pack of noteworthy spitters to rhyme about the constant elements of their daily hustle—from the neverending accumulation of currency to the unceasing stream of hate from herbs and lames. MPC Cartel mans the mixing boards, cooking up a moody, trap-tinged beat to back block talk-packed verses from Grand Hustle repper Que, Florida fast-riser Gunplay, ATL phenom Waka Flocka Flame and new MMG signee Tracy T.. Are you Always gonna be banging this cut in your whip from now on? If so, keep it locked; Hunger Pains has yet to receive a drop date, but we'll keep you supplied with the latest news and singles leading up to its eventual arrival.

Painting patio pavers
Hello. I'm looking for some advice. We have an old pool house we're trying to resurrect. The pool house floor and outside perimeter are old yellowish brick patio pavers. Im painting the outside of the pool house more on the sophisticated side. Thinking Maybe conservative olive green (to blend with the wooded area behind) with a sandy tan color on the block foundation. Or perhaps a charcoal foundation and nice crisp clean (but boring) white. The inside Im going crazy with your typical tropical theme. Im going to mural hibiscus, some palm, maybe even some flip flops/surf boards etc.
So what I need is advice on is how to paint those ugly old pavers? Do I use garage floor paint? I was thinking after its painted I would let my kids dip their feet in paint and walk footprints in different colors over the painted pavers (maybe leading away from some painted flip flops). The area is covered and will be screened in. So it does not need weather protection as much as foot traffic protection.
I read through some of the threads today and you are a very talented bunch. So Im hoping for some great ideas! Right now the whole area is a Holy Mess! But the goal is to have a tropical paradise by July.
Hi Ladygabe, sounds like you have some great ideas for the rehab of your pool house. I'd think the paint for garage floors would be the way to go since it's made for that kind of thing. You'll need something like that to hold up to the wet footprints and such. Good luck with your project, I'm sure it will get you many years of enjoyment. Luvs
Ladygabe, great ideas and I like the garage floor paint instead of concrete paint, but you might check with a good paint store about a sealer. We used one on our garage floor and it has survived for about 15 years. But as times change so does paint, newer paints might have a sealer in the mix.
Be sure to take lots of before and after shots to share. And what about your mural? Are you doing the painting?
