Street Memorial for Chuck Brown, 7th & T NW
Yesterday news ricocheted throughout the Washington, DC metropolitan area that Chuck Brown, the "Godfather of Go-Go," had passed away at 75.
In the upcoming issue of Washington History I contribute a review of "The Beat: Go-Go Music from Washington, DC" which gives respect and acknowledgment to the Godfather. I feel that the timing of the review is fortuitous rather than tragic. In my eyes and to my ears, Rare Essence has now had the torch passed their way.
This morning people on the street and Metro were chattering about the Godfather. Taking a page from our friend Lloyd Wolf, (the "Godfather of DC Street Memorials") and his amazing work at "Washington's Other Monuments" we caught this street memorial for "Chuck" at 7th & T Street NW.

Columbo-soccer is GTA 3 mod mini-game created during 2009 New Year's holiday time. Get fast sport car and crash into some columbian bastards on high speed making them fly far away.
en years later, we look at some of Liberty City's best kept secrets
Posted by St0rmified on Oct 22nd, 2011
Grand Theft Auto III is 10 years old, and while the mere mention of the game brings back all sorts of warm and fuzzy memories, it also brings up a lot laughs. Believe it or not, Rockstar hid a bunch of goodies in its open world game, and finding them meant you were in on the joke. Here are some of our favorite GTA III Easter Eggs.
If you bum around Liberty City's university, you'll eventually see a pedestrian carrying a pad of paper. Kill him, and you'll get a look at just what he was studying in school that day.
When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, you need to shoot it with a sniper rifle. Do that in GTA III, and you get quite the surprise.
Exploring Liberty City is what GTA III was all about, but there were some places you were never supposed to want to go. If you did get off the beaten path, Rockstar let you know.
Perhaps the most blatant Easter Egg was a sign in Liberty City advertising Miami. The next game in the series would be GTA: Vice City, a carbon copy of Florida's Big M.
If you blew out the pane glass at Tw@ Cafe, you could find a rare indoor environment to use for a killing spree in GTA III. However, if you looked at two specific computer monitors, you also got a reference to the top-down GTAs that came before.
The dead walk (and sing) in GTA III... at least according to the tabloids.

Natural killer (NK) cell neoplasms are rare neoplasms characterized by cells with NK characteristics. Few descriptions of the karyotype of this tumor are available. We describe a case with sequential analysis of the karyotype over a 3-month period. Cytogenetic analyses performed on specimens from the patient's peripheral blood and bone marrow generated similar results. Karyotype of the unstimulated peripheral blood at diagnosis was 46,XX,i(7)(q10),der(17)t(1;17)(q21;p11.1),-18,+mar[15]. Notably, a single cell with only an i(7q) was found, suggesting that this was the primary chromosomal abnormality in the neoplasm. The second specimen, 2 weeks later, was from bone marrow. Both the i(7q) and der(17) were present in two clones, which differed from each other in having two distinct derivative chromosomes 10. In one clone, the additional material on the short arm of chromosome 10 appears to have originated from either chromosome 1p or chromosome 22q, whereas for the second clone the donor of the additional material is most likely chromosome 8q. Thus, the karyotype for the bone marrow specimen is 46,XX,i(7)(q10),add(10)(p11.2),der(17)t(1;17)(q21;p11.1)[8]/46,XX,i(7)(q10),der(10)t(8;10)(q21;p12),der(17)t(1;17)(q21;p11.1)[3]/46,XX[14]. A final bone marrow specimen, after chemotherapy and shortly before the patient's death, showed abnormalities similar to those identified previously. The abnormalities seen in chromosomes 7 and 17 are consistent with previous reports of chromosomal abnormalities in NK-cell lymphomas.

Yes, unregulated big money shouldn't be in politics. But I want to keep hammering this home: conservatives are spending a shit-ton on ads, and yet they are getting ZERO from them. The entire point of an attack ad is to drive a candidate's support down, and yet nothing here suggests its working. The Kochs may have spent over $30 million thus far this year alone, but they have nothing to show for it -- Democratic candidates aren't bleeding support, and the Affordable Care Act is becoming more popular. It's a lose-lose.
The Dems' nadir came last November in the wake of the disastrous HealthCare.gov rollout. But they're clawing back, and with Obamacare defused as a campaign liability, that only appears to be accelerating.
So yes, let's keep fighting to keep money out of politics, but don't let those Koch millions bring you down. In fact, be happy -- our democracy is not yet for sale, and the Kochs really are pissing their money away.

Tourette's Syndrome and ADHD
Questions about 7 year olds tics.
My son who just turned 7 was diagnosed with ADHD, odd, ocd, borderline anxiety and depression and hyperactivity. Also since the end of the last school year he has developed tics. Ex. Licks his fingers and wipes either his forehead, cheeks, nose, ears back of his neck, forearms. At first they happened occasionally. But in the last two months they are so pronounced that it causes ppl to stare at him. He is taking 1mg of guanfacine for the ADHD and melatonin for insomnia. I am wondering itf the tics could be a sign of something more or just a result of all the other issues and will be less frequent once he is correctly medicated. Dr didn't want to use a stimulant because of the tics, but I'm not seeing much improvement in the outbursts and anger on his current meds. Any information is appreciated.

Nested If Statements Jump Over Other IfsFeb 24, 2012
I am working in a proprietary language based on basic on a measuring machine. I delibritly set the first two checks to fail for testing purposes. The first set of ifs for size X works great. When the code is run and it gets to Size_Y, if the operator picks "no I don't want to remeasure" (returning a 7) the code jumps all the way to the last end if. I suspect I have improperly nested my Ifthens, but I can't see it.

Huge recovery effort revives China's quake zone
At the House of Sunshine, the family of middle school teacher Zhang Xia, 40, is settling into a 1,000 square-foot (100 square-meter) apartment. Since the quake they have lived in a prefabricated unit and a tent before that.
"It has been scary at times, but now we finally feel like we're home," Zhang said.
Replacement homes are provided free to the neediest families, while others are granted about 40,000 yuan ($5,900) for a down payment and offered loans of up to 200,000 yuan ($29,400).
Construction costs are higher than for similar projects elsewhere in China, partly because of a dearth of workers and the need to truck in supplies. Also, engineering experts from China's leading universities were recruited to design buildings capable of withstanding quakes of up to magnitude-9.0. The structures have thicker walls, heavier steel beams and extra iron reinforcing.
Poor designs and shoddy construction were blamed for the collapse of so many schools during the quake - almost 7,000 classrooms crumbled and 5,335 students were killed. To assuage public anger, central government and local officials promised not to cut corners in the reconstruction and to enforce higher safety codes.
While officials ultimately decided to salvage Wenchuan, the destroyed county seat of Beichuan and its 240,0000 residents are being moved 20 miles (30 kilometers) out of the mountains to former farming land below.
The move is among the trickiest of the recovery projects, with difficulties including adjusting rural dwellers to urban life and factory work, says project manager Song Wenhua. Land and housing distribution is always a prickly subject in China, and there are no guarantees that all will be satisfied, he said.
Officials also need to ensure that the local economy can produce enough jobs to prevent large-scale outward migration. New Beichuan's leaders have attracted industries from food processing to electronics, but concede that ensuring employment isn't as easy as pouring concrete.
"There are a tremendous number of problems to solve, but we first have to get people into their homes," said Song, referencing a target for all housing to be finished by that quake's two-year anniversary on May 12.
Meanwhile, parents who lost children in the mass collapse of schools are being excepted from strict rules limiting most families to a single child.
Family planning officials in Beichuan's Leigu township say they identified 349 local women who qualify. So far, 61 have given birth and 13 are pregnant, said clinic director Wang Fang.
At her clinic on the fringe of a cluster of prefabricated housing, Lu Caiqiong, 37, bounces six-month-old son Luo Junling on her knee ahead of a checkup.
"There was so much grief, uncertainty, and economic pressure, said Lu, whose 14-year-old daughter died in the rubble of her school.
"We can't think too much about the future, but it is like a new beginning."

Blue eyed beauty Caleb is on my couch today and he is all smiles and giggles. He is excited for his chance to perform and I get to know him a little bit before we start. Caleb tells me about his sexual adventures in amusement parks, his favorite sexual positions, and I learn about how much he loves to suck dick. He has come to the right place; because talented cocksukers are my specialty. Caleb wastes no time in unbuckling my belt and whipping out my fattened penis and shoving it into his wet mouth. He sure is good at what he does and he even gets my entire hardened package completely down his throat. Next, Caleb rises and drops his pants. He rubs his and my schlong together before I sit down to enjoy some more of his tongue whipping. He gets on all fours, allowing access to his sweet pink hole. I spit a little on his hole and plunge my finger deep into his man cave. My throbbing cock is begging for more and I slap my stiff dong hard against his crack. Caleb lets out several load moans

1940's vintage pattern calling for Pearle Cotton 5.
In addition to your yarn, you'll also need a 12" piece of narrow elastic to work this pattern. I used a D hook and a single skein of sock yarn.
The one change you might need to make to the pattern, is to shorten the elastic added. (The pattern calls for a 12" piece, but a 10" piece fits my headsize better.)

ST. LOUIS - Jon Jay may win a Gold Glove at some point in his career. It wont come this year. Rawlings announced the finalists for the Gold Glove Awards Monday and the talented Cardinals outfielder was not among the three National League finalists for center field. Selected instead were Michael Bourn of the Atlanta Braves, Andrew McCutchen of the Pittsburgh Pirates and Drew Stubbs of the Cincinnati Reds. Voting was done by managers and up to six coaches per team. They are not allowed to vote for players on their own team. Cardinals manager Mike Matheny campaigned numerous times for Jay to be considered for a Gold Glove Award. Jay didnt commit an error in the regular season and made several highlight reel catches near or at the wall in center field. Working against Jay was the fact that he only played in 117 games due a shoulder injury suffered while slamming into the wall in April. Catcher Yadier Molina was the only Cardinals player listed among the finalists. Hes going for hi...

Bellingrath Gardens and Home is a 65-acre (26 ha) public display garden and mansion located on the Fowl River in Theodore, a suburb of Mobile, Alabama. The site was listed on the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage on September 14, 1977 and on the National Register of Historic Places on October 19, 1982.[1][2]
The gardens include a bridal garden, a conservatory, a great lawn, a nature walk, an Oriental garden, a rose garden, a chapel, the Mermaid Pool, Mirror Lake, an observation tower, and a river pavilion where river cruises are provided on the Southern Belle and the "Kingfisher".[3] The garden pathways are composed of flagstone that had been obtained from the old city sidewalks in Mobile, where they had been in place since arriving as ballast in sailing vessels collecting loads of cotton for the mills at Manchester, England. The gardens feature live oaks, camellias, azaleas, roses, and chrysanthemums year round. Plants featured in winter are tulips, snapdragons, pansies, ornamental cabbage and kale, daffodils, poppies, primroses, and many varieties of narcissus. Plants featured in spring include the more than 250,000 azaleas, hydrangeas, Easter lilies, impatiens, salvia, fuchsia, and Pelargonium geraniums. Plants featured in summer are the more than 2000 roses, allamandas, hibiscus, copper plants, begonias, ornamental peppers, bougainvillea, caladiums, coleus, vinca, and marigolds. Plants featured in fall are over 8,000 bedded, potted and cascading chrysanthemums, hibiscus, and copper plants.[4]
The property on which the gardens would eventually be constructed were purchased in 1917 as a fishing camp by Walter Bellingrath, president of the local Coca Cola bottling plant. Mrs. Bellingrath began developing the gardens with architect George Bigelow Rogers in 1927. The home was completed in 1935, encompasses 10,500 square feet (980 m2) and features hand-made brick salvaged in Mobile from the 1852 birthplace of Alva Smith Vanderbilt Belmont. Ironwork was obtained from the demolished circa 1837 Southern Hotel, also in Mobile.[5] The house design borrowed elements from many traditions and eras. Some of the most obvious are a formal Georgian staircase reminiscent of an English country house, French doors, and a Mediterranean courtyard.[3]
Christmas season[edit]
Bellingrath Gardens celebrates the Christmas season with a display of over 3 million lights that is known as the Magic Christmas in Lights. The light show began in 1995; it runs from the Friday after Thanksgiving through New Year's Eve. It features over 3 million lights with 1,000 set pieces in 13 themed scenes spaced around the estate.[6]

This is an excellent place to stay if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of Florence downtown. A little bit of a track into town and coming back the uphill track is a bit challenging so those with difficulties walking should consider some sort of transportation. Do not take buses as we heard a number of horror stories about ending up in the wrong place. Flaninia ( the hostess) is wonderful and helps you with everything. We would definitely return here. Great place with a wonderful view of sunsets and Florence.

This was a great place to stay. A little outside of Florence but not a bad walk if you don't mind walking. Closer to the Babboli gardens which are beautiful and worth visiting!

My wife and I had a very pleasant stay at Sangaggio. Flaminia the proprietor is incredibly welcoming and helpful. She provided restaurant and shopping recommendations, made reservations for us at museums (even sending confirmatory text msgs), gave us her cell phone number in case we needed to reach her, and made us feel very welcome. Our second floor room opened to the back yard and had a view to Montebello. The neighborhood is very quiet and every morning we awoke to the warbling of songbirds. Breakfast on the back porch was also very pleasant. Since we had a rental car, it was very good that parking was available on the street (non-residents cannot take a car anywhere into the old town) and it's less than 10 mins walk to the old town gates, about 20 mins to Ponte Vecchio. The 36 and 37 bus are a convenient option into and out of town as well. Not swank, but as good as it gets for a B&B in a larger city!

Great little residence, with personal service in quiet area, outside the city. Only drawback, the bus doesnt go to the area of the hotel after 9pm, so if you plan on going into town for an evening, consider you will need a taxi... Ask for the bedroom downstairs, on the garden level, great room :)

We stayed four nights in this lovely B&B in the Botticelli room, which overlooks the quiet garden and with a glimpse of some Tuscan hills. This place offers you a good chance to experience a different side of Florence, being located about 20 minutes of brisk walking from the Ponte Vecchio on the outskirts of town. The bus stop is just 50 m from the property so for those of you not too keen on walking, there's no need to despair. You will find breakfast in the personal fridge in the kitchen and there is something for every taste in it. If the weather allows it, why not have it in the garden. Rooms are beautifully decorated and this is truly a perfect place for couples to go on a romantic mini-break.

My wife and I stayed here in May and when we drove I admit that I didn't think we had the right location as it was a residential neighborhood. We were right though, and what a fantastic place. The owner is very friendly and makes sure you have a great stay. The rooms are among the largest and nicest you will find in Italy! I guess this was the first time I really stayed at a Bed and Breakfast. There is a kitchen in the building and for each room there is a minifridge with food so you are not only provide breakfast in the morning. There is always a little snack. Walking distance to the main area of Florence but the sidewalks along the way are a little thin.

Well, I found this one a bit better than WINE but, I must admit, I am still confused about all the fuss for these books. Here is a tale of two men who become friends aboard a small war ship in the shadow of the Napoleonic War. Neither individual is particularly vividly drawn though we do get a sense, albeit at some remove, of their very different personalities. We also see the very strained and formal aspects of interpersonal communications which O'Brian plainly saw as reflective of the tone of that day (though it is less clear to me that people were quite as stuffy and tightly drawn as he makes them out to be).
The events recounted are mainly episodic, too, amidst lots of "period" social gatherings and somewhat stuffy conversations. The characters are indeed interesting . . . to a point. But the tale, in the end, is just not structured tightly enough to suit me -- not a criticism in itself, to be sure, but a lack which, in my opinion, ought to be offset by something else: the strong interplay of personalities, powerfully wrought scenic backdrops, brilliantly soaring prose, a deep cultural tension, etc, etc. A good book can be good for many reasons and all or any of the foregoing can provide such reasons. Unfortunately, this book has none of these to offset its loosely structured narrative.
On the other hand, it does have a lot of nautical jargon, if you like that sort of thing, and a feel for the language of the period, though even this is rendered in a somewhat prosaic manner. And there are a few quite respectable battle scenes though these are not very clearly drawn either. In fact, there is very little sense here of the war at all. (Though this, alone, may be truest to the slower pacing of warfare on the high seas of that day.) In the end, this book, I suppose, gets its good name for the sense of authenticity it affords those who are fascinated by nineteenth century mores in war and peace and on the high seas. ... I want to say at once that I have the utmost respect for the man, as an author who was plainly dedicated to his art. And I also imagine that there must be more to these books than I am seeing since so many readers can't be so utterly wrong. But, frankly, I have concluded that these books are just not for me and that, just possibly, and I say this with great hesitation as I am an author myself, the emperor, in this case, may be in need of a new tailor.

VILAMOURA, Portugal (AP) - Bernd Wiesberger of Austria birdied six of seven holes in one stretch Saturday, finishing with a 6-under 65 for a one-stroke lead after three rounds at the Portugal Masters.
``I played beautifully on the back nine,'' said Wiesberger, who is going for his third European Tour title of the season. ``After seven holes I was not thinking about a 65. I had some horrible wedges early on, but I grinded through that and hit better shots around the turn.''
Ireland's Shane Lowry (67), England's Richard Finch (66) and New Zealand's Michael Campbell (67) were four strokes behind the leader at Oceanico Victoria Golf Course.
Fisher played with a strained ligament in his left foot that he injured Friday.
``It was heavily bandaged and I tried to take the weight off it as much as I could,'' he said. ``It's quite bruised, but the swelling is not as bad as I was told it might be.''
Spain's Miguel Angel Jimenez (68) and England's Mark Foster (67) were at 205.

The invention pertains to etchant compositions, methods of processing a substrate and methods of processing semiconductor constructions.
Etching technology is frequently utilized for removing one or more materials during a variety of technical fabrication processing including, for example, semiconductor processing. In many applications an etch chemistry is chosen to selectively remove a first material relative to a second material. An etch is considered to be selective for a first material relative to a second material (or to be selective to the second material) if the etch removes the first material at a faster rate than the second material.
During semiconductor processing, wet etch techniques are commonly utilized to isotropically etch dielectric materials selectively relative to silicon materials. Wet etchants for isotropic oxide removal include etchants referred to as buffered oxide etchants (BOEs). Although such etchants are highly selective to silicon, some silicon etching can occur during the wet etch process. The slow etching of Si which occurs during wet etch processing can result in roughening of silicon surfaces, or unintentional thinning or removal of silicon materials. For example, removal of a gate oxide material during semiconductor fabrication can result in roughening of an underlying silicon surface which can ultimately compromise gate oxide integrity and/or tunneling oxide properties. Additional problems can arise during memory array formation where wet etch processing is utilized to remove dielectric materials within the array area near the periphery. Specifically, unintentional removal of a protective silicon material can expose dielectric material in the periphery leading to periphery blowout, where the term "blowout" refers to unintentional etching of material.
It is desirable to develop alternative etchant compositions and methods of processing substrates and semiconductor constructions.
In one aspect the invention encompasses an etchant composition containing one or more of HF, NH4F, tetramethyl ammonium fluoride (TMAF), and alternative salts comprising fluoride. The etchant composition additionally contains isopropyl alcohol.
In one aspect the invention encompasses a method of processing a substrate. A substrate is provided which has a first material and a second material. The first material comprises at least one of polysilicon, monocrystalline silicon and amorphous silicon. The substrate is exposed to an etch composition which comprises isopropyl alcohol and at least one of HF, NH4F, TMAF, and alternative fluoride ion salts.
In one aspect the invention encompasses a method of processing a semiconductor construction including providing a construction which has a capacitor electrode material and an oxide material along at least a portion of the capacitor electrode material. At least some of the oxide material is removed by isotropic etching utilizing an etchant composition comprising isopropyl alcohol.
Preferred embodiments of the invention are described below with reference to the following accompanying drawings.
This disclosure of the invention is submitted in furtherance of the constitutional purposes of the U.S. Patent Laws "to promote the progress of science and useful arts" (Article 1, Section 8).
One aspect of the invention includes etchant compositions which provide etchant chemistry for selective removal of dielectric materials relative to silicon. The compositions of the invention have increased selectivity and can result in decreased surface roughness as compared to conventional wet etch chemistries commonly utilized for removing dielectric materials relative to silicon materials. Accordingly, resulting structures produced in accordance with the methodology of the invention can have surfaces of silicon materials which have less roughening than conventionally produced structures, and can have more accurate thicknesses and uniformity for silicon layers and structural features. Additionally, the etching compositions in accordance with the invention can allow less problematic use of silicon materials as protective and/or sacrificial materials during fabrication, with more predictable and reliable results.
In general, etchant compositions in accordance with the invention are wet etchants which etch silicon materials more slowly than conventional wet etch chemistries. The etch chemistries of the invention are highly selective to silicon materials including doped and undoped polysilicon, hemispherical grain silicon (HSG), monocrystalline silicon and amorphous silicon materials. Specifically, etch compositions of the invention are able to remove oxide materials from a structure with little or no etching of silicon materials comprised by the structure. Although the invention is described as pertaining to selective removal of oxide materials, the invention contemplates adaptation for removal of alternative dielectric materials relative to silicon materials. The compositions of the invention can also be useful for removal of oxide materials selective to alternative materials including silicon-containing materials and non-silicon materials.
The most common conventional technique for selective removal of silicon oxide materials is hydrofluoric acid etchant. Typically, hydrofluoric acid (HF) is mixed with water and a buffering agent such as ammonium fluoride (NH4F). These buffered wet etch solutions are commonly known as buffered oxide etches (BOEs). Conventional BOEs can differ in strength (typically HF concentration and/or ratio of buffering agent to HF) to vary the oxide etch rate. Conventional BOEs can also include additional agents such as wetting agents or surfactants. However, conventional BOEs are able to significantly etch silicon materials resulting in unintentional silicon removal and/or roughening of silicon surfaces. Such unintentional removal can result in damage to underlying materials, inaccurate or non-uniform layer thickness, etc.
The etchant composition of the present invention can comprise some or all of the components of conventional oxide etchants and can further comprise one or more additional component which decreases the rate of silicon etch. In general, the invention compositions are modified relative to conventional BOEs by addition of isopropyl alcohol. Typically the isopropyl alcohol concentration will be from greater than 0% to about 25%, by volume of the final etchant composition. Preferably the isopropyl alcohol content will be less than or equal to about 20%. Although the compositions of the invention are referred to as etchant compositions, the compositions can be utilized for applications such as cleaning surfaces and constructions and can therefore be alternatively referred to as cleaning compositions.
Etchant compositions of the invention typically comprise HF. The HF can be provided to the composition by mixing HF and other composition components or can be generated by providing a source of H+and a source of F to the composition. Etchant compositions of the invention are typically aqueous solutions or mixtures containing one or more buffering agent. It is to be understood however, that the invention contemplates utilization of etchant compositions which contain, consist essentially of, or consist of water, isopropyl alcohol and equilibrium components of HF.
Buffering agents which can be utilized in compositions in accordance with the invention include, but are not limited to, NH4F, tetramethyl ammonium fluoride (TMAF), and H3PO4. In particular aspects, the etchant composition will comprise one or more of HF, NH4F, TMAF and fluoride salts comprising alternative cations. In some instances, the etchant composition can consist essentially of or consist of water, isopropyl alcohol and equilibrium components of HF and NH4F, at least prior to exposing of the etchant composition to a material or substrate to be etched. Where the etching composition contains HF and NH4F, the HF can be added to provide a final HF concentration (including equilibrium components) of from about 0.05% to about 20%, by volume. Where NH4F is utilized the concentration of such buffering agent can be from 1% to about 45%, and preferably from about 30% to about 40%, by volume. In particular instances, the NH4F concentration will be from 33.75% to about 39.82% of the final etchant composition prior to exposing to a material to be etched. Accordingly, preferred NH4H:HF ratios can be from about 0.5:1 to about 1000:1, and will typically be from about 2:1 to about 500:1, by volume.
Formation of etchant compositions in accordance with invention can comprise providing a source of F−, such as NH4F and/or TMAF, and a source of protons such as H3PO4. It is to be understood that the invention contemplates utilization of alternative or additional sources of F− and/or H+. In particular applications the etchant composition prior to exposing of any substrate or material to be etched can consist essentially of or consist of water, isopropyl alcohol, HF and equilibrium components thereof and one or more buffering agents. In alternative aspects, one or more reducing agent can be added to the etchant composition. Either organic or inorganic reducing agents, or a combination thereof, can be utilized. An exemplary reducing agent for use in compositions of the invention is ascorbic acid.
Although not limited to a particular pH or range of pH's, etchant compositions in accordance with the invention can typically have a pH in the range of from about 3.5 to about 8.5. In particular instances, the pH can be from about 7.19 to about 7.25.
In addition to the compositions described above, the invention encompasses etchant compositions formed by addition of isopropyl alcohol to alternative buffered oxide etchant chemistries, either conventional or yet to be developed. The isopropyl alcohol is preferably added to the BOE to a final Isopropyl alcohol concentration of up to about 20%, by volume.
The etchant compositions of the invention can selectively remove one or more of a variety of oxide materials relative to other materials, particularly silicon materials. The oxide material selectively removed can be, for example, thermally grown oxides (ThOx), deposited oxides, or combinations thereof. The etched oxides can be doped and/or undoped silicon dioxide materials including, but not limited to, phosphosilicate glass materials and borophosphosilicate glass materials. The etch rate of the particular dielectric material(s) to be etched can be adjusted by adjusting the concentration of one or more components of the etchant composition.
In addition to decreasing silicon surface roughening and/or silicon etch, the addition of isopropyl alcohol can produce etch compositions with a lower BPSG/ThOx selectivity. Accordingly, etchant compositions of the invention can be especially useful for applications such as contact cleans. Etch rates for a variety of materials, and roughening of silicon surfaces were compared for isopropyl alcohol (IPA) etch compositions in accordance with the invention and alternative non-IPA etch compositions.
Referring to
Referring to
Comparison studies were also performed utilizing a alternative etch composition which contained HF buffered with TMAF to which either no isopropyl alcohol had been added or to which isopropyl alcohol had been added to a final volume of 10%. The addition of 10% isopropyl alcohol was shown to decrease the rate of polysilicon etch by around tenfold. The addition of 10% isopropyl alcohol to the TMAF:HF etchant did not significantly affect etch rate of thermal oxide or various BPSG materials.
In addition to the etch rate studies above, the etch rate of n-doped polysilicon was studied as a function of added IPA volume in a 40 L volume tank. The results of such studies are presented in
The measured etch rates for additional materials as a function of isopropyl alcohol concentration is presented in Table 1.
The materials studied as presented in Table 1 include 25 Poly (n-doped polysilicon (1.0E+20 cm−2)), phosphosilicate glass (PSG containing 6% P which has been annealed for 32 minutes at 700�C.), BPSG 3060 (3% B, 6%P), thermally grown silicon oxide (ThOx), thermal Si3N4 (725�C.) and spin-on-dielectric (SOD) with 600� C. densification.
Resulting surface roughness of silicon materials as a result of various oxide etch solutions were studied and compared. Surface roughness was found to be dependent upon etch chemistry, process time, dopants and previous history of wafers or substrates (i.e. dopant implants). Typical roughness produced by processes utilizing conventional wet etch solutions are presented in Table 2.
The silicon material utilized for the roughening studies presented in Table 2 was p-doped silicon wafers with a 230Å oxide layer. For samples having undergone implant treatment, such treatment included 2E13, 2800 kV P implant, and 1E13, 700 kV B implant. The BOE etchant solutions contained NH4F:HF ratios as indicated. The etchant denoted as QE2 contained approximately 39% NH4H, and approximately 1% H3PO4, by weight. The surface roughness for wafers having undergone previous implant processing were compared to wafers which had not undergone implant processing and to a control which was not subjected to any oxide etch solution. In Table 2, and in the roughness study results presented below, the parameter Rq represents the standard deviation of the Z values, and Ra is the mean value of the surface relative to the center plane. The results indicate that etch chemistries having slower silicon etch rate and better oxide etch uniformity such as 100:1 BOE introduces more silicon surface roughness.
Surface roughness was also studied upon performing a pad oxide strip in a variety of conventional wet oxide chemistries as presented in Table 3.
A comparison study was performed between a conventional BOE solution treatment of a bare silicon wafer relative to the same BOE solution which has been modified by addition of isopropyl alcohol to a final concentration of 10%. The results of such study are present in Table 4.
For each experiment the ratio of NH4F:HF was 100:1. The results present in Table 4 indicate a substantial roughness reduction in the presence of 10% IPA, by volume. These results indicate that the 100:1 BOE in the presence of 10% IPA can be advantageous for utilization in many oxide etch applications, including but not limited to, those which conventionally utilize non-IPA etchants such as, for example, 20:1 BOE or 25:1 HF.
The decreased silicon etch rate and decreased surface roughening which occurs utilizing the etchant compositions of the invention indicates advantageous utilization for a variety of wet etch processing events. The compositions of the invention can advantageously replace conventional buffered oxide etchants at many points during semiconductor construction and wafer fabrication. Exemplary applications for which the compositions of the invention can be advantageously utilized include, but are not limited to, oxide stripping, contact cleans, oxide patterning and oxide removal processes during formation of double sided container capacitors or other capacitor structures. One application of particular importance is dual or triple gate formation processing where the methodology of the invention can be used to selectively remove gate dielectric materials from over some portions of the wafer while retaining gate dielectric material in desired locations.
Exemplary processing of substrates and semiconductor constructions in accordance with the invention are discussed below. However, it is to be understood that the invention contemplates utilization of the above described isopropyl alcohol containing etchant compositions in place of conventional wet oxide etch solutions throughout semiconductor fabrication processing.
Referring to
In particular aspects, the substrate 12 can comprise a silicon material surface 13. As shown, a second material layer 14 can be disposed over surface 13. Material 14 can be an oxide material and in particular instances can comprise a thermally grown silicon dioxide material. Referring to
The concentration of components within the etchant composition can be adjusted to allow a controlled etch of the particular material comprised by layer 14. The length of exposure of wafer 10 to the etchant composition can vary depending upon the material composition of oxide layer 14, the thickness of layer 14 and/or the presence and nature of additional features comprised by fragment 10. Processing in accordance with the invention can provide surface 13 of

Additional exemplary processing in accordance with another aspect of the invention is described with references to
A plurality of electrically conductive node locations 320, 322 and 324 are shown within memory array region 314 of substrate 312. The node locations can correspond to, for example, conductively doped diffusion regions within a semiconductive material of substrate 312, and/or two conductive pedestals associated with substrate 12. Although the node locations are shown to be electrically conductive at the processing stage of
In the exemplary structure shown in
In subsequent processing (described below) at least some of material 328 is selectively etched relative to at least some of material 330. Accordingly, retaining material 330 preferably comprises a composition to which at least some of material of layer 328 can be selectively etched. In particular aspects layer 328 can be considered to comprise a first material and structure 330 can be considered to comprise a second material to which the first material is ultimately selectively etched. In some aspects, retaining structures 330 will comprise, consist essentially of, or consist of silicon and nitrogen. In an exemplary aspect, layer 328 will comprise, consist essentially of, or consist of borophosphosilicate glass and retaining structures 330 will comprise, consist essentially of, or consist of silicon nitride.
As shown in
As additionally illustrated in
Portions of layer 360 within the openings in memory array region 314 can be considered to form container constructions 362, 364. The container constructions can be considered to comprise inner surfaces 370 within the openings and outer surfaces 372 laterally opposing the inner surfaces. The outer surfaces 372 extend along layer 328 and retaining structure 330.
Conductive layer 360 is ultimately to be incorporated into a capacitor electrode and in particular aspects can be incorporated into a capacitor storage node. Accordingly, layer 360 can be referred to as capacitor electrode material and in particular aspects can be referred to as electrically conductive storage node material.
Conductive material 360 is shown to only partially fill openings 340, 342 and 344 and thus to form container structures within the openings. In other aspects of the invention (not shown) the conductive material 360, either alone or in combination with other conductive materials, can completely fill the openings to form pedestal (or post) structures within the openings. The structures formed from conductive material 360 in the openings can be referred to as conductive structures.
Referring next to
The wet etch processing in accordance with the invention can utilize any of the isopropyl alcohol comprising etching compositions discussed above. Due to the increased selectivity to silicon, the etching compositions of the invention can allow removal of material 328 within the array with minimal or no etching, thinning or removal of protective polysilicon material 380 to produce an intact peripheral region.
The removal of material 328 exposes outer surfaces 322 of the container structures as shown in
Referring to
Although the present description is limited to specific exemplary processing, it is to be understood that the invention contemplates utilization of wet etch chemistries described above to provide increased selectivity for removing oxide materials relative to silicon materials in numerous additional fabrication areas as will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art.
In compliance with the statute, the invention has been described in language more or less specific as to structural and methodical features. It is to be understood, however, that the invention is not limited to the specific features shown and described, since the means herein disclosed comprise preferred forms of putting the invention into effect. The invention is, therefore, claimed in any of its forms or modifications within the proper scope of the appended claims appropriately interpreted in accordance with the doctrine of equivalents.

Jack Aaronson | February 19, 2004 | Comments
Online or off-? For retailers, the twain can (and should) meet.
The news hit like a welcome sigh of relief, making me feel as if we actually are making progress in the field of multichannel marketing. Barnes & Noble Inc. (B&N) decided to buy back its dot-com spin-off, barnesandnoble.com. Having been a member of the dot-com company, I'm excited by the news. It means B&N will either finally realize it's a multichannel company or fail miserably by not understanding multi- and cross-channel marketing.
I guest-lectured an MBA class at Columbia Business School last semester. Homework was a case study: B&N versus Amazon. Because the students were also studying finance, their "winning strategies" mostly focused on supply-chain management and the cost of books for each company. The strongest case for B&N lay in its ability to be a multichannel marketer, a topic that deserves a wholly dedicated course.
Multichannel consumers are more loyal. "Channibilism" doesn't exist. With no fear of stealing your own customers from your other channels, the longed-for ideals of effective multichannel and cross-channeling marketing become a palpable possibility.
The first step for your company, and for B&N once it's bought back its estranged dot-com offspring, is think like a multichannel company. This means unifying customer data across all customer touch points and understanding the brand as the glue that binds the channels.
People are loyal to your company's brand, not its channels (unless you disappoint them). For many Americans, book buying is a very channel-specific task, not a brand-specific task. They buy books at B&N stores; online they go to Amazon.
This is because Amazon was very smart positioning its brand online. Instead of branding itself as just another online store, it aligned itself with the channel. It declared anything you want to buy online, you can buy from Amazon.
The brand ignorant were left scrambling to create an online brand that didn't compete with Amazon. This is difficult, as Amazon's brand and product range intentionally overlaps (and overshadows) almost every other online brand. Had multichannel retailers branded themselves as such, they wouldn't be in the turmoil they're in today. Because brand alignment is usually stronger than channel alignment, B&N shouldn't have lost customers to Amazon.
But B&N didn't have a Web site when Amazon started. It never focused on pushing its Web site to its current offline customer base. If you don't think of yourself as a multichannel company, neither will your customers.
Because barnesandnoble.com was treated more like a separate, single-channel company (which it was) than the online arm of a multichannel company, it competed only online. It never used its other channels as competitive weapons. With no multichannel marketing help, the online division (like all other online stores) failed to compete with Amazon.
A true multichannel competitor can offer users an experience Amazon (or any other single-channel company) cannot: shopping over multiple channels (online or off-) in the same environment.
If I could achieve the most basic multichannel tasks with B&N, such as buying a book online and picking it up in the store, my loyalties would be switched quite easily. In New York City, there's a B&N store every few blocks. If I can pick up my order when I'm out getting dinner (no one in New York cooks), that's a tremendous benefit Amazon can't offer.
Office Depot allows you to pick up online orders at a store near you. It even provides a map to the store. I can see what products are in stock at my local Office Depot by searching its online store.
Companies such as B&N must realize their Web sites can just as easily be a self-service agent for stock availability. I can't imagine how much time is spent by retail clerks answering, "Do you have this book in stock?" Through online self-service, customers can view stock availability online. That not only cuts the customer-service costs of running a store, but it also draws people from online into the offline world.
These are just a few issues that will surround B&N (and other offline retailers) in the struggle to create a true multichannel brand. It assumes, of course, it starts thinking like a multichannel company and implements a multichannel marketing strategy and user experience.
Is pushing a multichannel strategy a good idea, or is there another way B&N can come out on top? Is this strategy a good idea for a less-mature category, but too late for bookstores? Let me know your thoughts!

LEMOORE -- Same two teams. Same venue. Different outcome.
West failed in its bid to pull the upset and knock Lemoore out of the playoffs for a second straight year.
Thanks mainly to a strong defensive effort, the Tigers were able to come away with a 17-10 Central Section Division II first-round victory over the visiting Vikings on Friday night.
Down 17-3 with less than two minutes left, No. 10 West (5-6) made a game of it when Josh Boyd took a kickoff return 80 yards for a touchdown.
But No. 7 Lemoore (7-4) recovered the ensuing onside kick and ran out the clock.
"In the playoffs the margin for error is very thin and we made some mental mistakes," West coach Mark Camps said. "This was just kind of an old-school, physical, playoff football game. ... They made a few more plays than we did, but I thought our kids played lights-out."
The Tigers' swarming defense held West to 100 yards of net offense, all of it on the ground.
West limited the section's second leading rusher, Richard Doctor, to 128 yards on 29 carries.
Doctor, who came into the night with 2,339 yards and 32 touchdowns on the ground in 10 games, was kept out of the end zone for the first time this season.
West was held scoreless until Jordy Cruz booted a 32-yard field goal with 6:07 left, trimming Lemoore's lead to 10-3.
Four minutes later, Tigers quarterback Cort Groathouse raced 42 yards for a touchdown on a naked bootleg, seemingly ending West's hopes.
However, Boyd gave the Viking another breath of life with his spectacular kickoff return TD just seconds later.
"West is a very formidable opponent," Lemoore coach Shannon S. Pulliam said. "... I didn't expect anything less than a football game like that."
Pulliam acknowledged Lemoore's 2012 playoff loss to West helped motivate his team.
"We used a little bit of the revenge thing," Pulliam said. "Being the higher seed last year and we got knocked off."
West had to play backup quarterback Enrique Salazar for most of the game Friday because regular startrer Fondereaux Wilson suffered a sprained ankle late in the first quarter.
Stanley Dubard had the Vikings' longest offensive play of the game, a fourth-quarter 25-yard run, and finished with 59 yards on 16 carries.
"They have a really good defense," Camps said. "They've had a good defense for two years. They do a great job with that so I have to give them a lot of credit. But we missed a few opportunities."
Lemoore led 10-0 at halftime. The Tigers out-gained the Vikings 176-30 in the first half.
After taking its opening possession down to the Lemoore 22 yard line, West failed to convert on fourth-and-2 as Dubard managed only a one yard gain.
"They were doing a good job filling it in, playing hard, rushing to the ball and wrapping up," Dubard said of the Lemoore defense.
That was the Vikings' deepest penetration of the first half.
West's five second quarter possessions ended with four punts and an interception.
Lemoore took opening kickoff and moved the ball down to the West 6 yard line before the drive stalled and it was forced to settle for a 23-yard field goal by Spencer Lambert.
Tylor Williams and Jarelle Starr each had first-half interceptions for West.

ktmmitch has come up with an innovative way to stash his axle wrench:
Walking around the paddock it was most enjoyable to see the different approaches and solutions to what are basically the same set of requirements - that is sufficient fuel capacity, navigation gear (roadbook holder, trip meter and a GPS as a minimum), emergency water, and somewhere to stash tools, essential spares and safety equipment - and despite the majority of the field being on what are essentially converted enduro bikes - no two machines were the same.
The majority of the field are [of course] on KTMs of one sort of another... plenty of EXCs with bigger tanks (including Ed Taylor's solitary 2-stroke - brave fellow!), together with a large number of 690 Enduros with all manner of tank and fairing combinations - typically from the Rally Raid catalogue, and not least a handful of 640 Adventures and ex factory 690RR and 660 Rallye bikes.
Husaburg have a particularly good showing this year, the FE 450 and 570 offering a very slim and [visually] lightweight alternative... and on a similar theme I counted a number of Husqvarna 449 and even a brace of G450X's in 'rally lite' configuration...
Over the past couple of days the organisation have delighted in telling everyone how soft the sand dunes are that surround Douz, and that it's going to be a tough rally right from the start... in fact they have described the first 7 kms of the first special as [potentially] 'hell' for riders who are inexperienced or at least not fully committed!
Coupled with the GP style mass-start, it could well be a baptism of fire for those new to the desert, especially on the bigger bikes!

The Cheetahs don't play like an average South African Vodacom Super 14 side, according to Reds coach Jeff Miller.
The Reds, who are without Elton Flatley (retired) and Chris Latham (injured), have been one of the whipping boys of the Super 14 this season, and are expected to struggle on Friday night against a Cheetahs side coming off the back of two successive wins.
Miller said the Free Staters had adopted a different approach to the game, which made them very competitive.
"They're a little bit different to the traditional South African side in defence," he said. "They defend more like an Australian team and they've got a very good defensive structure and they're quite disciplined with their defence. They're one of the better South African teams."
Miller has placed the squad on a restricted training programme in the early stages of the three-week tour to South Africa after a hectic travel schedule from Australia. The Reds were also confronted with another five-hour trek to Bloemfontein from Durban.
"Most of our time in South Africa has just been travel and recovery," said the coach. "We've only trained twice for an hour each and really that hasn't been very difficult."

An Orthodox Jewish Cowboy
The football kind, that is
We learn in the New York Times today about Shlomo Veingrad, a former Green Bay Packer and Dallas Cowboy offensive tackle who should probably be counted as among the best Jewish football players since Sid Luckman led the Chicago Bears to NFL championships in the 1940s, if for no other reason than that he wears a Super Bowl ring! (He was on Dallas's 1992 championship squad, from before the Cowboys started sucking.) Now, an observant Jew, he tours Chabad houses talking about how he rediscovered his religion when a Green Bay, Wisconsin, shop owner took him under his wing.
The article contains this provocative meditation on how Jews feel about Jewish athletes:
For Jews, abundant as fans but uncommon as top players, the visibility of a Shlomo Veingrad serves both reassuring and cathartic roles. Having a Jew to root for—whether Hank Greenberg, Sandy Koufax or the Israeli N.B.A. rookie Omri Casspi—"has a lot to do with our desire to define ourselves as Americans in the most American way, which is sports," said Jeffrey S. Gurock, a history professor at Yeshiva University and the author of Judaism's Encounter With American Sports.
At a deeper and more anxious level, American Jews continue to grapple with the stereotypical view of the Jew as egghead, nerd, weakling. That dismissive portrayal was a staple not only of anti-Semites, but also of early Zionists, who envisioned their "new man" with his plow and rifle as the antidote to the "golus Yid," the exilic Jew unable even to defend himself.
A Jewish ballplayer is one thing; a Jew on the ultra-violent, no-holds-barred gridiron—and one who plays not one of the daintier skill positions like quarterback, or wide receiver, or even cornerback (or even, HaShem help us, kicker), but offensive lineman—might be the ultimate "new man." Anyway, if sports are America's (mostly) harmless, (mostly) guilt-free outlet for all those primal tribal urges that are best not put to more consequential use, then surely the original Tribe deserves to get in on it, too.
Oh, and a reminder for Sunday night: Jews have no special obligation to pull either for the Indianapolis Colts or the New Orleans Saints. It's usually more fun to root for the winner, though, so you should probably root for the Colts. The Scroll's pick: Colts (-6) over Saints.

Many states, including Florida, automatically terminate former spouses as beneficiaries under life insurance policies, annuities, and other beneficiary-designated accounts upon divorce. This avoids a former spouse receiving testamentary benefits simply because their divorcing spouse forgot to, or never got around to, changing beneficiary designations after divorce.
The U.S. Supreme Court issued a recent opinion that overrode such a statute in Virginia in regard to federal life insurance under the Federal Employees' Group Life Insurance program. Based on the supremacy of federal law over state law, the former spouse beneficiary designation under the program could not be changed by the Virginia statute. Instead, the former spouse could be removed only through a formal change of beneficiary by the insured spouse.
Under this analysis, state statutes that change beneficiaries at divorce are unlikely to have any effect in regard to other federal accounts and plans, such as pension plans. Thus, divorcing spouses should not rely on state statutes in this regard, and will need to submit change of beneficiary forms upon divorce for these federal items.
Interestingly, Virginia anticipated that its law might be pre-empted, so it tried an end run around pre-emption. It enacted a statute that provides if the change of beneficiary statute is pre-empted, then the former spouse would be liable for the principal amount of the proceeds received by it to the party who would have received them were the statute not pre-empted. The Supreme Court found that such liability "frustrates the deliberate purpose of Congress" in regard to its beneficiary designation scheme, and thus such provision was also found to have been pre-empted.
