Angels & Demons (Paperback)
|Author: Dan Brown
Learn more about Angels & Demons:
|Now available in this premium edition--the book that introduced Dr. Robert Langdon, the hero of Brown's phenomenal bestseller The Da Vinci Code, just in time for the May premiere of Columbia Pictures' film adaptation, directed by Ron Howard and starring Tom Hanks.
From the Publisher:
A devastating new weapon of destruction.
An unthinkable target.
When world-renowned Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon is summoned to a Swiss research facility to analyze a mysterious symbol -- seared into the chest of a murdered physicist -- he discovers evidence of the unimaginable: the resurgence of an ancient secret brotherhood known as the Illuminati...the most powerful underground organization ever to walk the earth. The Illuminati has now surfaced to carry out the final phase of its legendary vendetta against its most hated enemy -- the Catholic Church.
Langdon's worst fears are confirmed on the eve of the Vatican's holy conclave, when a messenger of the Illuminati announces they have hidden an unstoppable time bomb at the very heart of Vatican City. With the countdown under way, Langdon jets to Rome to join forces with Vittoria Vetra, a beautiful and mysterious Italian scientist, to assist the Vatican in a desperate bid for survival.
Embarking on a frantic hunt through sealed crypts, dangerous catacombs, deserted cathedrals, and even the most secretive vault on earth, Langdon and Vetra follow a 400-year-old trail of ancient symbols that snakes across Rome toward the long-forgotten Illuminati lair...a clandestine location that contains the only hope for Vatican salvation.
An explosive international thriller, Angels & Demons careens from enlightening epiphanies to dark truths as the battle between science and religion turns to war.
Dan Brown and his trademark literary creation, the symbologist Robert Langdon, soared into publishing history with THE DA VINCI CODE, but ANGELS AND DEMONS actually marked the first appearance of the character. In Langdon's initial adventure, he is called to a research center in Switzerland to try to decipher a symbol that has been branded onto the murdered corpse of a renowned scientist. This morbid clue points Langdon down a treacherous trail littered with tortured bodies, each carrying a cryptic hint of an even more terrifying plot against the Vatican. As the leaders of the church gather and sequester themselves to select a replacement for the recently deceased pope, Langdon discovers that the ancient Illuminati have re-emerged to enact a terrible revenge of near-biblical proportions. This thriller features Dan Brown's blockbuster mix of captivating clues, astounding real history, and electrifying adventure, all swirling around a series of fictional crimes that are as dark and disturbing as any in recent memory. ANGELS AND DEMONS notably features a series of amazing ambigrams, an obscure art form of words graphically written such that they read the same from multiple angles or viewpoints.
Customer Reviews of Angels & Demons
Angels and Demons9/17/2006
It is a great book of the beginning of Robert Langdon's adventure. I can't spoil the information of the books to others, so I'll just keep quiet of the book so others can find out. I would recommend this book to others that are ages 13 and up
A much more entertaining thriller then Da Vinci7/29/2006
I just finished reading this prequel to The Da Vinci code. I thought the Da Vinci code was great, but this is much more gripping and entertaining. If you liked The Da Vinci, you will definitely love this one.

3/4 cup
Marzetti® Ultimate Blue Cheese Dressing
2 pounds
fingerling or small new potatoes
1 small
red onion, peeled and sliced
2 tablespoons
olive oil
1/2 teaspoon
sea salt
1/4 teaspoon
fresh ground black pepper
3 tablespoons
chopped parsley
1 tablespoon
chopped chives
1/4 cup
crumbled blue cheese
I used regular baking potatoes and cut into pieces. Also did not have red onion, so sliced regular white onion. Roasted in the oven(took longer than 22 minutes, actually about 45 minutes) Used the blu cheese dressing I had and forgot to sprinkle with parsely or chives. No extra blu cheese crumbles either, but will make sure I have them next time. They were fabulous and different. Will make again for sure!
The cooking time is way off. People thinking this will be done in 22 minutes will end up with an undercooked dish. Listen to the first reviewer expect to double the cooking time.

Very good. Did double the cooking time. Used 2 medium sized yellow onions. I also sprinkled Italian seasoning on the mixture. Will certainly make again.
I may have cut my potatoes up too small because I thought they were a bit too soft. I also cooked them twice as long as the recommended time. All the flavors mixed together were fabulous! I used yellow onion instead of red and it was great. The crumbled blue cheese is a very nice addition to the recipe.
I used regular sized potatoes cut into french fry-sized pieces and roasted a bit longer, as suggested by others. Also, I used my homemade blue cheese dressing (blue cheese crumbles, yoghurt, seasonings). They were altogether wonderful.
I gave four stars instead of 5 because I dislike using processed food, as called for in the recipe.
Very good. I used crumbled gonzola cheese instead of blue cheese over the top at the end it was just as good
Needs to cook longer than the recipe states
I really liked this recipe. I probably shouldn't rate it as I didn't use the specific ingrediants but it just goes to show that the recipe is versatile. I used plain potatoes and white onion. It was perfect as the rest of my family are not fan's of blue cheese, I was able to to add the dressing to only mine they they were happy with the roasted potatoes and onion. Will definitely make it again.

"The girls love the pink jerseys. Nice fabric with pretty sheen to it." (E1944)
" I purchased 12 pairs of these socks our girls' softball team. They fit perfectly and they look great. The colors are bright and the girls really like them.
Our first game was on a Saturday and I didn't order them until Thursday. I didn't want to pay extra for priority shipping, so I just ordered regular shipping and hoped they would arrive in time for our 2nd game. To my surprise, they arrived at my door the very next day and in time for opening day.
The representative who took my order was very polite and made sure the order was accurate.

Painter Intuos Buttons to Revolve Canvas
Hey all. One of my favorite things about using Painter is the ability to rotate the canvas interactively for drawing. Since it's set to "alt-space", I should ostensibly be able to do the revolve with just the buttons on my Intuos tablet. However, it doesn't seem to work, even if I reset the Pan/Scroll button to just a keystroke of "space". Anyone else have this problem, or figure out a way around it? Thanks!

One-way scheme for Carlisle estate dropped
Last updated at 16:00, Monday, 26 March 2012
Plans for a one-way system in Carlisle's Harraby estate have been dropped amid a lack of support and fears it may lead to speeding
A request for a one-way system in Whinsmoor Drive, Linden Terrace, Springfield Road and Allandale Road was tabled at a neighbourhood forum meeting in 2009.
It finally came to discussion at a meeting of Cumbria County Council's Carlisle local committee late last week but they rejected the scheme.
They blamed a lack of support from residents and police concerns that it may encourage speeding because drivers wouldn't have to worry about oncoming traffic. Officials sent consultation letters to nearly 370 households but received only 35 replies – 18 supported a one-way system, 10 were against while seven commented without giving an opinion.
The council also received a 45-signature petition backing the idea.
But a report to councillors said: "This is still a relatively low number on which an informed decision can be made, especially when a similar scheme was rejected by the committee some years ago."
Objectors argued that residents would have to drive further, traffic speeds would increase and that a one-way system would do nothing to relieve parking problems.
The report added: "Whilst the police had no objections, they thought removing verges to create more parking would be a better option.
"And they made the comment that vehicle speeds would be likely to increase, should the street be made one way, as drivers know they will not meet opposing traffic."

A copper metallization structure in which a layer of a copper alloy, such as Cu--Mg or Cu--Al is deposited over a silicon oxide based dielectric layer and a substantially pure copper layer is deposited over the copper alloy layer. The copper alloy layer serves as a seed or wetting layer for subsequent filling of via holes and trenches with substantially pure copper. Preferred examples of the alloying elements and their atomic alloying percentage include magnesium between 0.05 and 6% and aluminum between 0.05 and 0.3%. Further examples include boron, tantalum, tellurium, and titanium. Preferably, the copper alloy is deposited cold in a sputter process, but, during the deposition of the pure copper layer or afterwards in a separate annealing step, the temperature is raised sufficiently high to cause the alloying element of the copper alloy to migrate to the dielectric layer and form a barrier there against diffusion of copper into and through the dielectric layer. This barrier also promotes adhesion of the alloy layer to the dielectric layer, thereby forming a superior wetting and seed layer for subsequent copper full-fill techniques. Filling of the alloy-lined feature can be accomplished using PVD, CVD, or electro/electroless plating.
1. A metallization structure, comprising:
a dielectric layer comprising silicon and oxygen;
a copper alloy layer deposited over said dielectric layer comprising copper and less than 10 atomic percent of an alloying element selected from the group consisting of magnesium, aluminum, boron, and tellurium; and
a substantially pure copper layer deposited over said copper alloy layer.
2. The metallization structure of claim 1, further comprising an interfacial oxide layer between said copper alloy layer and said dielectric layer comprising silicon, said alloying element, and oxygen.
3. The metallization structure of claim 1, wherein said alloying element comprises magnesium.
4. The metallization structure of claim 3, wherein said magnesium is present in an amount of between 0.05 and 6 atomic %.
5. The metallization structure of claim 1, wherein said alloying element comprises aluminum.
6. The metallization structure of claim 5, wherein said aluminum is present in an amount between 0.05 and 0.3 atomic %.
7. The metallization structure of claim 1, wherein said alloying element is selected from the group consisting of boron, and tellurium.
8. The metallization structure of claim 1, wherein said dielectric layer includes an aperture extending into said dielectric layer and wherein said copper alloy layer is coated onto sides of said aperture.
9. The metallization structure of claim 8, wherein said aperture extends only partially through said dielectric layer, and wherein said copper alloy layer is coated onto sides of said aperture.
10. The metallization structure of claim 9, wherein said aperture extends completely through said dielectric layer and overlies a conductive feature in a substrate over which said dielectric layer is formed and wherein said copper layer fills said aperture.
11. The metallization structure of claim 1, wherein said copper alloy layer and said substantially pure copper layer extend over a planar surface of said dielectric layer.
12. An integrated circuit including at least one wiring level interconnecting active semiconductor areas, said wiring level comprising:
a dielectric layer;
a copper layer deposited over said dielectric layer comprising copper and less than 10 atomic percent of an alloying element selected from the group consisting of magnesium, aluminum, boron, and tellurium; and
a substantially pure copper layer deposited over said copper alloy layer.
13. The integrated circuit of claim 12, wherein said dielectric layer includes a hole extending therethrough and said copper alloy layer is formed on sides of said hole and said pure copper layer fills said hole.
14. The integrated circuit of claim 13, wherein said dielectric layer comprises silicon and oxygen and further comprising an interfacial oxide layer between said copper alloy layer and said dielectric layer comprising silicon, said alloying element, and oxygen.
15. The integrated circuit of claim 13, wherein said alloying element comprises magnesium.
16. The integrated circuit of claim 15, wherein said magnesium is present in an amount of between 0.05 and 6 atomic %.
17. The integrated circuit of claim 13, wherein said alloying element comprises aluminum.
18. The integrated circuit of claim 17, wherein said aluminum is present in an amount of between 0.05 and 0.3 atomic %.
19. The integrated circuit of claim 13, wherein said alloying element is selected from the group consisting of boron, and tellurium.
20. The integrated circuit of claim 13, wherein said copper alloy layer and said substantially pure copper layer extend over a planar surface of said integrated circuit.
This application is a division of Ser. No. 08/878,143, filed Jun. 18, 1997, which is a continuation in part of Ser. No. 08/853,191, filed May 8, 1997.
The invention relates generally to metal layers formed in semiconductor integrated circuits. In particular, the invention relates to copper metallization.
A critical part of any advanced semiconductor integrated circuit involves the one or more metallization levels used to contact and interconnect the active semiconductor areas, themselves usually residing in a fairly well defined crystalline silicon substrate. Although it is possible to interconnect a few transistors or other semiconductor devices, such as memory capacitors, within the semiconductor level, the increasingly complex topology of multiply connected devices soon necessitates another level of interconnect. Typically, an active silicon layer with transistors and capacitors formed therein is overlaid with a dielectric layer, for example, silicon dioxide. Contact holes are etched through the dielectric layer to particular contacting areas of the silicon devices. A metal is filled into the contact holes and is also deposited on top of the dielectric layer to form horizontal interconnects between the silicon contacts and other electrical points. Such a process is referred to as metallization.
A single level of metallization may suffice for simple integrated circuits of small capacity. However, dense memory chips and especially complex logic devices require additional levels of metallization since a single level does not provide the required level of interconnection between active areas. Additional metallization levels are achieved by depositing over the previous metallized horizontal interconnects another level of dielectric and repeating the process of etching holes, now called vias, through the dielectric, filling the vias and overlaying the added dielectric layer with a metal, and defining the metal above the added dielectric as an additional wiring layer. Very advanced logic device, for example, fifth-generation microprocessors, have five or more levels of metallization.
Conventionally, the metallized layers have been composed of aluminum or aluminum-based alloys additionally comprising at most a few percent of alloying elements such as copper and silicon. The metallization deposition has typically been accomplished by physical vapor deposition (PVD), also known as sputtering. A conventional PVD reactor 10 is illustrated schematically in cross section in FIG. 1, and the illustration is based upon the Endura PVD Reactor available from Applied Materials, Inc. of Santa Clara, Calif. The reactor 10 includes a vacuum chamber 12 sealed to a PVD target 14 composed of the material to be sputter deposited on a wafer 16 held on a heater pedestal 18. A shield 20 held within the chamber protects the chamber wall 12 from the sputtered material and provides the anode grounding plane. A selectable DC power supply 22 biases the target negatively to about -600 VDC with respect to the shield 20. Conventionally, the pedestal 18 and hence the wafer 16 is left electrically floating.
A gas source 24 of sputtering working gas, typically chemically inactive argon, supplies the working gas to the chamber through a mass flow controller 26. A vacuum system 28 maintains the chamber at a low pressure. Although the chamber can be pumped to a base pressure of about 10-7 Torr or even lower, the pressure of the working gas is typically kept between about 1 and 1000 mTorr. A computer-based controller 30 controls the reactor including the DC power supply 22 and the mass flow controller 26.
When the argon is admitted into the chamber, the DC voltage ignites the argon into a plasma, and the positively charged argon ions are attracted to the negatively charged target 14. The ions strike the target 14 at a substantial energy and cause target atoms or atomic clusters to be sputtered from the target 14. Some of the target particles strike the wafer 16 and are thereby deposited on it, thereby forming a film of the target material.
To provide efficient sputtering, a magnetron 32 is positioned in back of the target 14. It has opposed magnets 34, 36 creating a magnetic field within the chamber in the neighborhood of the magnets 34, 36. The magnetic field traps electrons, and for charge neutrality, the ion density also increases to form a high-density plasma region 38 within the chamber adjacent to the magnetron 32. However, it is understood that a plasma of decreasing density extends towards the wafer 16.
With the continuing miniaturization of integrated circuits, the demands upon the metallization have increased. Many now believe that aluminum metallization should be replaced by copper metallization. Murarka et al. provide a comprehensive review article on copper metallization in "Copper metallization for ULSI and beyond," Critical Reviews in Solid State and Materials Science, vol. 10, no. 2, 1995, pp. 87-124. Copper offers a number of advantages. Its bulk resistivity is less than that of aluminum, 1.67μΩ-cm vs. 2.7μΩ-cm for pure material, and any reduction in resistivity offers significant advantages as the widths and thicknesses of the metallization interconnects continue to decrease. Furthermore, a continuing problem with aluminum metallization is the tendency of aluminum atoms in an aluminum interconnect carrying a high current density to migrate along the interconnect, especially away from hot spots, in a process called electromigration. Any excessive amount of such migration will break an aluminum interconnect and rendering inoperable the integrated circuit. Copper-based alloys exhibit significantly reduced levels of electromigration.
Copper metallization is an unproven technology and is acknowledged to offer difficulties not experienced with the conventional aluminum metallization. However, it may afford ways to circumvent problems inherent in aluminum metallization.
Murarka et al. in the aforecited review article recommend alloying copper with magnesium or aluminum to improve the interfacial qualities. Later work done by the Murarka group at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and their collaborators have developed a useful technique for forming dependable copper interconnects and provide a model for its operation. As Lanford et al. describe in "Low-temperature passivation of copper by doping with Al or Mg," Thin Solid Films, vol. 262, 1995, pp. 234-241, sputtering is used, as illustrated in the schematic cross section of FIG. 2, to deposit a film of copper alloy on a substrate. The primary examples of the alloying element are aluminum and magnesium. The copper alloy film can be deposited as alternating layers of copper and the alloying element, or the two constituents can be co-sputtered, for example, by use of a copper alloy sputtering target. After completion of the sputtering at near to room temperature, the wafer is annealed, for example, at 400� C. in argon for 30 minutes. The annealing causes a large fraction of the magnesium to diffuse to the outside of a remaining copper film and to react with any oxygen present at the interfaces to form a film of magnesium oxide. The MgO film encapsulates the Mg-alloyed Cu body. The upper free surface of the copper film is passivated by the MgO film. Magnesium oxide is a stable oxide and stops growing at a thickness in the range of 5 to 7 nm. The thin oxide is not believed to cause a high contact resistance, but in any case the oxide can be removed by a sputter etch prior to the deposition of a subsequent metallization. Lanford et al., ibid., suggest that the free surface is oxidized to MgO by oxygen impurities in the argon.
Metallization in advanced integrated circuits faces a demanding requirement in filling high-aspect ratio holes. Increasing device density requires that the feature sizes be further reduced. However, dielectric breakdown has prevented the thickness of interlevel dielectric levels from being similarly reduced. As a result, the aspect ratio of vias and contacts has been increasing. The aspect ratio is the ratio of the depth of the hole through the dielectric forming the via or contact and the minimum lateral size of that hole. An aspect ratio of 5:1 is considered developmental technology, but even higher values will be required. Assuming that high aspect-ratio holes can be etched, the problem remains of filling them with metal for the interlevel connection. The geometry of high aspect-ratio holes is unfavorable for sputtering since conventional sputtering is fairly isotropic so that little sputtered material strikes the bottom of the hole compared to the lip of the hole, and the sputtering is likely to bridge the top of the hole and prevent any further deposition. The hole filling problem is illustrated in cross section in FIG. 2. A narrow and deep hole 40 is etched into a silicon oxide substrate 42, which contains unillustrated structure to be electrically contacted. A copper layer 44 is then filled into the hole 40. If the filling is performed by a standard PVD process including an initial cold deposition to form a surface layer followed by a hot final deposition to complete the filling, a void 46 is likely to form in the hole because the copper dewets from the oxide sides of the hole 40. Once the copper bridges over the void 46 midway through the deposition, it is virtually impossible to remove the void and complete the hole filling.
At least two techniques are used to overcome the unfavorable geometry of hole filling, directional sputtering and reflow. In directional sputtering, one or more of various techniques are used to produce a flux of sputtered particles incident upon the wafer which are heavily concentrated in the normal direction. Reflow relies on the fact that metals flow at moderately low temperatures so that the metal, although initially deposited in a undesirable distribution, is made to flow into the hole and to fill it. The reflow may be produced in a post-deposition anneal or may occur on an ongoing basis during a hot deposition.
Directional sputtering may be achieved by many methods, including long-throw, collimation, and electrostatic attraction of ionized sputtered ions in a high-density plasma. Directional sputtering, although not required by the invention, is advantageously used in conjunction with it, as will be discussed later.
Reflow of metallizations, especially copper, presents several difficulties. Unlike aluminum, copper has a relatively high melting point. Heating the substrate to the melting temperature of the metallization would incur too high a thermal budget and may be inconsistent with prior processing steps. Aluminum and copper do flow at somewhat lower temperatures than their melting points, but the interface between either of these metals and the silicon dioxide forming the usual interlevel dielectric is not favorable for reflow. Neither aluminum nor copper wets well with silicon dioxide at certain high temperatures. As a result, these metals do not flow in a smooth layer down a wall of silicon dioxide. Indeed if aluminum or metal is present as a thin layer on a surface of silicon dioxide, the metal tends to ball up in isolated locations.
Xu et al. have addressed the reflow problem with aluminum metallization in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 08/628,835, filed Apr. 5, 1996. They recommend using a carrier layer of TiN and possibly Ti deposited by a high-density plasma to perform a number of functions including increasing the adhesion of aluminum deposited in a narrow aperture extending through silicon dioxide. The carrier layer acts as a glue layer that adheres well to silicon dioxide and also acts as a wetting layer for the later deposited aluminum. As a result, the aluminum flows down the carrier layer at a relatively low temperature and thus easily fills the hole.
A structure for copper metallization including a copper alloy film deposited, preferably by cold sputtering, on a dielectric layer of silicon oxide. A purer copper film is then deposited on the copper alloy layer, and after the start of copper deposition the temperature is raised to promote the diffusion of the alloying element within the copper alloy layer.
The invention is applicable, among other uses to copper filling of narrow apertures, such as vias and trenches. The invention is also applicable to planarization of copper.

FIG. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a void formed in filling a hole in a dielectric.

The grandparent patent application, incorporated herein by reference in its entirety, discloses the advantages of a self-annealed copper metallization including an alloying element such as magnesium or aluminum. When deposited under the proper conditions, the alloying element readily diffuses to both the interface at the exposed top surface to form a self-passivating metal oxide layer with the alloying element and to form a barrier of an oxide of the alloying metal and silicon at the underlying silica interface.
The disclosure in the grandparent application is primarily directed to the formation and advantages of the barrier between the copper and the silica. We have discovered that similar processes with possibly some variations can be advantageously used for hole filling.
According to one embodiment of the invention, as illustrated in the cross-sectional view of FIG. 3, a substrate includes a first dielectric layer 50 having a metal line 52 on its surface. The discussion will primarily be directed to interlevel vias, that is, conductive holes from one level of metallization to another, rather than to contacts to underlying silicon areas. A second dielectric layer 54 is deposited over the metal line 52 and the first dielectric layer 50. The second dielectric layers 54 in this embodiment is composed of a silicon oxide, for example, silicon dioxide deposited by a plasma-enhanced CVD process, although other forms of silica and silicate glasses can also be used to much the same effect. The metal line 52 is preferably formed of copper although the copper technology of the invention can be combined with lower aluminum metallization, for example, of Al/Ti/TiN. A via hole 56 is photolithographically etched through the second dielectric layer 54 down to the underlying metal line 52.
A seed layer 60 of a copper alloy is then sputter deposited into the via hole 56 and atop the second dielectric layer 54 under conditions favoring good bottom and sidewall coverage of the narrow via hole 56. Fu et al. disclose in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 08/854,008, filed May 8, 1997, a reactor for sustained self-sputtering of copper, which can be advantageously used for the required nearly conformal sputter deposition of copper and its alloys.
The seed layer 60 needs to be deposited only to a very small thickness of about 5 to 10 nm. It may be thicker, up to about 200 nm, but additional thickness detracts from production efficiency in the hole filling process to be described later. Thus, a thickness of no more than 50 or 100 nm is preferred in a production environment. If the seed layer 60 is being used to fill a narrow hole, the stated thickness is that on the side and bottom of the hole. The thickness of a sidewall deposition may be only a fraction of the thickness of deposition on a planar top surface with the ratio depending upon the feature size, its aspect ratio, and the sputtering conditions. The seed layer 60 can be sputter deposited under hot conditions so that the layer 60 self-anneals during deposition. A hot sputter is performed preferably with the substrate held in the range of 200 to 400� C. although higher temperatures are possible. However, the complexity of hot sputtering is not required for many of the effects of the invention. Instead, the seed layer 60 can be sputter deposited under cold conditions below 200� C. or even below 100� C., temperatures not favoring the diffusion of the alloying element to the interfaces. It is possible under cold sputter deposition that a copper oxide layer forms at the exposed surface of the seed layer 60, but the preferred filling process removes the copper oxide.
We have observed that the copper alloy seed layer 60 forms with a very smooth surface. In particular, a 200 nm thick Cu--Mg layer deposited on SiO, and thereafter annealed at 450� C. for 30 minutes produced a very smooth surface. A 20 nm layer of pure copper similarly deposited over a 20 nm tantalum barrier over SiO2 produced gross agglomeration of the copper, indicating severe dewetting at temperatures as low as 200� C. These results indicated that a smooth copper alloy seed layer 60 provides good wetting to after deposited copper and thus promotes copper full-fill of deep vias and trenches.
After the thin seed layer 60 has been deposited, the via hole 56 is filled by a second deposition step with relatively pure copper. By relatively pure copper is meant copper that is at least 99 atomic % pure, and the 1% impurity or doping level does not apply to the alloying elements discussed here. The full-fill deposition step producing the copper layer 62 may be performed by PVD, by chemical vapor deposition (CVD), or by electroplating or electroless plating. These deposition methods are described by Murarka et al. in the previously cited article in Critical Reviews. Preferably, the alloy seed layer 62 is deposited in a cold sputter, and the pure copper deposition is performed before the seed layer is annealed. As a result, it is likely that the copper alloy seed layer 62 spontaneously oxidizes to form a surface layer of copper oxide although the oxygen can be annealed out because of the Cu--O bond is not very strong. For a PVD copper full-fill, it should be performed at a relatively high temperature above 300� C., preferably 400 to 550� C. The second PVD deposition may be a standard PVD process, collimated PVD, high-density plasma PVD, or yet other variations. For CVD deposition, a plasma preclean may be used. Electroplating will naturally remove the copper oxide. The smooth surface of the copper alloy seed layer 62 promotes reflow into via hole at relatively low temperatures without dewetting due to the good adhesion of Cu--Mg to the oxide. A smooth Cu alloy surface promotes adhesion for the later deposited copper. For CVD copper, reflow temperatures of no more than 200� C. are need; for electroplated copper, no more than 100� C.
After the via filling, the structure is annealed to cause the alloying element to diffuse within the copper alloy seed layer 60. The alloying element diffuses towards the dielectric layer 54 and forms a very thin barrier layer 64, as illustrated in the enlarged cross-sectional view in FIG. 4, at the interface between the seed layer 60 and the dielectric layer 54 that prevents copper from diffusing into and through the silica dielectric layer 54. The barrier layer 64 comprises an oxide of the alloying element along with some of the silicon. The alloying element will also diffuse into the copper fill 62, but the thickness of the planar overlayer of copper needs to be minimized if the thin seed layer 60 is to provide enough alloying element to form a surface passivating layer. Typically, however, the free-surface passivation is not important because the entire surface will by polished flat in a subsequent step of chemical mechanical polishing. The annealing is preferably performed within the temperature range of 300 to 400� C. although temperatures up to 600� C. can be used if they do not thermally degrade other structures on the wafer.
The annealing can be performed in a separate annealing furnace or by rapid thermal processing involving radiant lamps. It also can be performed by in situ PVD annealing, that is, either a PVD deposition performed at an elevated substrate temperature or an anneal performed in the PVD chamber after cessation of the PVD deposition. The annealing ambient may be either high vacuum, a forming gas to minimize oxidation, or a reduced oxygen partial pressure to form a surface layer of the oxide of the alloying element, e.g., MgO or Al2 O3, but not copper oxide.
The single copper alloy seed layer 60 thus provides both a barrier layer at the silica interface and as and adhesion/wetting layer at the copper interface. In the prior art, separate barrier and wetting layers had been required for filling deep holes in silica with copper.
Although the description above referred to hole via for a generally square or circular via hole, the invention may be applied to other geometries. The aperture may be a trench extending a substantial distance along the surface of the dielectric. The trench need not extend through the dielectric, and the pure copper may be applied as a relatively thin conformal layer over the alloy layer in the trench.
Another application of the alloy seed layer of the invention is for copper planarization. As shown in FIG. 3, a small dimple 68 forms at the surface of the copper layer 62 overlying the via hole 56. In view of the fact the via hole 56 may be much deeper than the thickness of the planar portion of the copper layer 62, the geometry of hole filling would indicate a much deeper dimple 68, which could severely impact later formed layers. However, the same effects produced by the seed layer of the invention which promote full filling of deep holes also promote the planarization of the upper surface of the copper layer 62 due to lateral reflow of the copper as it is being deposited or is afterwards annealed, thereby reducing the size of the dimple 68.
Although magnesium is the most preferred alloying element for copper, and aluminum is also known to provide beneficial results, yet other alloying elements have been used with copper, for example, boron, tantalum, tellurium, and titanium. To provide the benefits described above, such an alloying element should form stable oxides and readily diffuse through copper. Generally, the atomic alloying percentages range up to 10 atomic %. However, it is now generally believed that the Mg alloying should be kept below 6 atomic % and the Al alloying should be kept below 0.3 atomic %. A minimum alloying percentage is 0.05 atomic %.
The invention thus provides a copper metallization structure that exhibits many beneficial characteristics without undue complexity in the structure or its fabrication. The copper alloy not only provides a barrier at the dielectric interface and passivation at the free interface but also promotes the deposition of a later deposited copper layer. The effect is particularly effective in filling holes of high aspect ratios.

The world's largest constitutional democracy last week relapsed into being one of the most officially and deliberately homophobic. India's Supreme Court upheld a Victorian-era prohibition against gay sex, which calls for 10-year prison sentences for so-called "carnal intercourse against the order of nature."
The court's decision to overturn a 2009 Delhi High Court decision and uphold Section 377 of the Indian penal code, which criminalizes gay sex, has brought shock and condemnation from Indian human rights activists. Though Section 377 is seldom enforced, it has been used to harass gay people and interfere with HIV-prevention provisions like condom distribution.
India never denied rights to gay people, or frowned on sexual expression, until puritanical British colonizers introduced Section 377 in 1860. Erotic ancient Hindu temple carvings depict many forms of sexual enjoyment. Yet India is reviving outdated forms of British sexual restrictiveness even as Britain is set to recognize same-sex marriage next year.
Sixteen countries have now legalized same-sex marriage or are in the process of doing so. They include Catholic countries, parts of North and South America, and Africa, such as Canada, Spain, France, South Africa and Uruguay. Others at least have changed their laws so as to protect gay people against discrimination and hate crimes. So why is India, whose independence movement was built on equality and religious pluralism, whose constitution stipulates equality of all people, siding with the intolerant?
For the same reason that a small band of evangelical activists in Iowa orchestrated a campaign resulting in the ouster of three state Supreme Court justices whose 2009 ruling resulted in recognition for same-sex marriage. The same reason that Uganda has been prodded to pass a law that could even impose the death penalty for homosexual acts. So politicians can play to the growing religious conservative base to win elections. The Indian Supreme Court apparently took its cues from Hindu fundamentalist leaders associated with the conservative Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party, which is hoping to win a majority in coming elections and form a government.
Earlier this year, the Indian crown prince of Rajpipla, the world's only known openly gay member of royalty, visited the United States and discussed the Hindu fundamentalists' campaign to get 377 reinstated. "Religious leaders are being supported by government in this because they are the vote bank for politicians," alleged Prince Manvendra Singh Gohil, who is Hindu himself. Though Indian royalty today has little power but the title and ceremonial functions, Gohil has been using his platform to call out Hindu fundamentalist leaders who preach intolerance of gay people for their hypocrisy. He said he knows some to be gay themselves.
Not all Hindu clergy take a hard-line approach. There are Hindu priests who have performed marriage rituals for same-sex couples, even though those marriages were not recognized by law.
But power plays that use religion have no geographic or religious boundaries. American documentary filmmaker Roger Ross Williams made a film this year about Uganda's campaign to pass its Anti-Homosexuality Bill. Williams examines the role of American fundamentalist Christians in that and other social campaigns in Africa. Even without passage of the law, the Uganda bill has created a climate that terrorizes gay Ugandans. It has given rise to such unthinkable crimes as so-called "corrective rape" of gay people.
As for India, its political and religious leaders ought to focus more attention on preventing rapes than forbidding consensual sex between adults. Monday marked one year since the brutal gang rape of a Delhi student on a bus, leading to her death. That crime sparked mass protests and calls for stricter penalties against rape. Some changes have been made, but rape and other forms of violence against women may be on the rise in part because of a backlash against women's growing empowerment.
A New Delhi woman alleged last week that her new husband through an arranged marriage — who since fled — brutally raped and sodomized her on their honeymoon. Ironically, under India's misguided laws, which criminalize sex but not violence, sodomy even without force would be the prosecutable offense, but marital rape would not be.
These absurd anomalies in the law cry out for India's Parliament to undo the damage legislatively. But with elections looming, don't expect those anytime soon.

Libertarian dauphin Rand Paul will become the first of the (likely) 2016 presidential contenders to kiss the proverbial ring of New Hampshire. (The proverbial ring of New Hampshire is its birthstone, set in handcrafted wood, and purchased after a really great hike.)
The Associated Press reports: "The New Hampshire Republican Party confirmed Wednesday that the first-term senator from Kentucky will deliver the keynote address at its first Liberty Dinner on May 20. The location has yet to be determined." Paul's formal speech is the first of its kind in the three-year lead-up to the Republican primary.
Later in the spring, Paul, as well as his probable opponent (Wisconsin governor/Koch brothers marionette Scott Walker) will visit Iowa for some Republican faith/taxes/ethanol/somethingorother forum. Rick Santorum will do some traveling too, and is frankly just thrilled to be included in this Associated Press story with all these relevant gentlemen!

Two or more players (probably no more than six, but who knows?), in a crowd-full of players, or not necessarily.
Players face each other. Each player has one hand up, fingers extended. Players take turns (more or less) pointing at each other. As soon as you've been pointed at, you lose a finger, fingeratively speaking, and put that finger down. The last player with a finger sill standing is considered the "last player standing."
I know. It doesn't seem like much. But you'll be delighted and amused by the intensity of play as the game evolves.
Another fun, provocative, and very short game for as many people as want to play it.

From the first day that Ryan joined the Romney ticket, the campaign has been running away from The Ryan Budget.
The first 48-72 hours of Ryan's VP candidacy saw John Sununu zipping from one TV interview to another to announce that Romney was NOT adopting The Ryan Budget and would have a budget plan of his own. Since then, both Romney and his surrogate speakers have been tripping over themselves to remind voters that Romney, not Ryan is at the top of the ticket. Who can forget Romney's failed cheerleader moment when he could not turn a crowd cheering for Ryan into a crowd cheering "Romney-Ryan"?
On Friday night, Chris Matthews made a similar observation (video above).
Matthews thinks that The Ryan Budget is the cause of Romney's grief. Howard Fineman says that Romney did not pick Ryan for the The Ryan Budget. The more scrutiny the Ryan budget gets, the less popular it becomes. Joy-Ann Reid says that the Ryan budget has put Obama ahead in the over-60 voting bloc, a critical base for Romney.

When the Broncos (12-3) take on the Chiefs (2-13) this weekend, offensive guard Chris Kuper could be on the field. Kuper is listed as "questionable" after being limited in practice this week. The most likely scenario seems to be Denver resting Kuper this week, giving him two weeks to rest in preparation for the divisional round of the playoffs (assuming Denver secures a first round bye this weekend).

It won't be your Dad's Timex, that's for sure.
As speculation mounts that Apple Apple is about to launch an "iWatch," a lot of the talk has been about what the new device might do.
But just as interesting is what it might look like.
Apple products, after all, are as famous for form as for function. They're all about the design.
Like most people I think of watches as a round dial with twelve numbers and two or three hands.
Or those incredibly ugly $10,000 "luxury" equivalents with multiple dials and huge, menacing plugs and buttons sticking out in all directions.
But what might they look like if you throw aside convention? What sort of weird and wonderful designs have the folks in Cupertino been looking at and playing with as they seek for ideas and inspiration?
I'll bet some of these have been on the list. Here are ten of the most truly innovative and funky watches on the market today.
The time in words, spelled out on a grid of 110 letters. And what could be a funkier than a watch made by people called Biegert & Funk?
- Nixon Newton Black & White
I confess I love this design – two white dots on a black face. But does Tim Cook?
The inner swirl tracks the hours, the outer swirl the minutes. The lava lamp of watches.
It's not a piece of spaghetti – the inner end of the swirl shows the hours and the outer end the minutes.

Beverly Whipple and Gina Ogden did a study on "thinking off" in their laboratory--to see if women could have orgasms without genital stimulation. They found that it did occur. They also found that "…there was our own laboratory evidence that some women achieved what they claimed were satisfying orgasms without the characteristic contractions of the orgasmic platform." (5) It is possible to simply lay down, do nothing but focus on erotic feelings in the body and begin to twitch and shake, with "kriyas" (a yogic term), and go into orgasmic ecstasy. I have known a number of people who can do this. These kinds of orgasms can easily be taught. I have taught many women how to have them in various workshops. They reside just below our surface. All we need to do is let them bubble up.

E-passports to put new face on old documentsAugust 18, 2004
The long-awaited passports will include a microchip that holds a digitized facial image with space to hold further biometric technology if required by U.K. policy or an EU directive.
Speaking at the Biometrics 2005 conference in London, Bernard Herdan, chief executive of the U.K. Passport Service (UKPS), said Thursday that the passports would be phased in by February 2006 and completed by July 2006.
"We have to make sure that as we cross from digital production to e-passport production that the technology works in all other countries," Herdan said.
The move may have been spurred by U.S. demands for all countries within its visa-waiver program to have a machine-readable biometric passport by October 2005.
Existing U.K. passport holders will not need to have their passports updated, but they will have to comply with the new guidelines when they renew or replace their passports, Herdan said.
E-passports will incorporate a special chip that stores basic data, including the passport holder's name, and date and place of birth.
U.K. ID cards will be issued with the passports, which will contain finger and thumb images; two iris images; and facial images. These will also be stored on a National Identification Register. Herdan explained that "this is all part of a more holistic approach to move towards more rigorous identification."
The chips will be embedded in the front cover of the passport. New applicants will also face an interview for further authentication.
"We believe there is a pressing need for an improved integrated system of identity authentication. One part of this is the Personal Identity Project, through which information supplied by passport applicants is checked against information held on private and public sector databases," Herdan said.
"Facial recognition has to be the direction the travel industry is heading in," he added. "We want to move to an environment where airlines are doing pre-board checks, but our first step is to secure our borders."
Karen Gomm of ZDNet UK reported from London.

Let's go to Turkey
I never really appreciated in-flight meals until I flew Turkish Airlines to Istanbul, the beautiful city that is the business - and pleasure - heart of Turkey.
The sometimes stringy bread, the little marshy stuff sprinkled with vegetables and some spices. Olive oil, butter and cheese. Wines, teas and orange drinks. But, it wasn't the dinning and winning on the flight that thrilled me. I was bowled over by the intricacies of the preparations of the meals passengers take in-flight, courtesy of a visit to Do & Co, the catering arm of Turkish Airlines in Istanbul.
The massive equipment and army of stewards and supervisors lend credence to the fact that a remarkable culinary exertion has occurred every time those tiny plates are tossed on your flight table. Do & Co supplies scores of airlines food (100,00 packs daily) and its work has, no doubt, contributed immensely to making Turkish Airlines the world's eighth largest carrier - in terms of network size.
Any doubt about this ranking is shattered by a visit to the airline's training school. The size of the building - massive and impressive - is nothing when compared with the sophistication of the training equipment it houses.
The steps range from little tasks, such as how to tell passengers to fasten seat belts and opening of tables in various aircraft to closing doors. Emergency situations are handled as if they are real, with crew members actually wearing life jackets and opening the door to jump out onto an artificial ocean. It is all amazing!
But the story of Turkey's resilience is not reflected only in the growth of its national carrier - from a modest 65 aircraft in 2003 to 177 in 2011. Its robust economy, which somehow escaped the global meltdown; its rich history as reflected in the numerous tourist attractions which keep visitors flooding in and its unique location - the only country that is on two continents ( Europe and Asia) - all combine to make Turkey an interesting destination.
The weather may not be friendly in the winter - there is sunshine occasionally, even as you wake up to find that it is snowing - the language problem may be there, the city may go to bed a bit early, compared with others of its size, and the street souvenir hawker may be after your cash; Istanbul remains a sure destination for pleasure and business.
Riding on Istanbul's city centre roads is a pleasure. The sight seeing is a remarkable exercise, with the remains of the old city wall on the left and the sea roaring on the right as tourists boat through the European side to the Asian side of the ancient city.
But Istanbul is not all about boat cruises. There is a well co-ordinated attempt to make tourism a money spinner and an employment generator. There are numerous tourism companies employing guides who speak English and who are versatile in their knowledge of the city and its history.
The tourist attractions are breathtaking in their structures and history. In them are found the very essence of the Turkish spirit of enterprise and vision, the vision of exceptional leaders, such as Kemal Ataturk (1881-1938), who saw what the country is today many years ago and worked to realise that destiny.
Consider the Hagia Sophia "Holy Wisdom" Museum, a former Orthodox patriarchal bascilica that was later turned into a mosque and is now a museum. An average Turkish may be enamoured of its architectural symbolism, but, to a visitor, it is exciting to learn that the building was first used as a church, then a mosque and now a museum. It mirrors the lack of religious tension in the secular country. Inside the building, which is famous for its big dome, there are paintings that recall the days when it was being used as a church - paintings of the Holy Mary lapping baby Jesus .
The story of the Hagia Sophia is quite enthralling. It is considered perhaps, the boldest exhibition of the highest qualities of Byzantine architecture. It was the world's largest cathedral for nearly a thousand years. When Constantinople fell to the Ottoman Turks in 1453, Sultan Mehmed ordered the building to be converted into a mosque. It remained a mosque until 1935 when they found another use for it; it was turned into a museum. Before then, many Islamic features - the mihrab, the minbar and the four minarets outside - had been added.
The Sultan Ahmed Mosque (also known as the Blue Mosque because of the blue tiles adorning its interior walls) is considered as the most historical sight in Istanbul. Worshippers still flood the place and it is not unusual to find tourists and ordinary folks rushing to meet the prayer time bumping into one another. The mosque was to sit on the site of the palace of the Byzantine emperors, opposite the Hagia Sophia and the hippodrome. If anyone needs to see what Ottoman classical architecture was in all its glory, the mosque stands there as a big monument. It is a "masterwork of Sedefkar Mehmet Aga, an apprentice under Mimar Sinan". In the mosque are a hospice, a madrasah and the tomb of the founder. It is described as one of the most impressive monuments of the world.
There is also the Grand Bazaar, which is described as "one of the largest and oldest covered markets in the world and one of Istanbul's most attractive sites, with more than 58 covered streets and over 1200 shops".
Istanbul is a modern city, glowing with street lamps at night, its streets well paved and decorated with flowers, its highways wide and smooth. Big shopping malls and exclusive restaurants as well as art galleries define the city's identity. The popular view is that to have a feel of what the city was in the old days, one should spend a day at the Bazaar. The monument was enlarged and restored in 1894, following a earthquake, during the reign of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificient. The market is famous for jewelry, pottery, carpets, leather, spice and prayer beads, among many other items.
I wasn't comfortable shopping at the Bazaar because I had a feeling that I could be cheated, with the trader exploiting the language barrier. It is unlike in the malls where all items are marked and one could easily do some conversion and know right away whether a deal is good or bad.
It is doubtful weather a visit to Istanbul could have full meaning without a trip to the Panorama 1453 History Museum. It is all about the conquest of the city some 558 years ago. The scenes seem real, a vivid creativity of the battle won by Fatih (the Conqueror) Sultan Mehmet II.
The sounds of war - booming cannons, clattering swords and screaming men - are so real you could feel them. The Panorama itself is not just a picture of the war, it attests to the creative power of Turkish artists, eight of whom were involved in the project. They were led by Hasim Vetandas, a frontline artist and cartoonist, who also coordinated the project. There are only 30 of its type in the world, but the Panorama 1453 is unique in that it uses both horizontal and vertical settings. The pictures have no end and one gets the feeling of being in the open and not in an enclosure.
The Istanbul Aquarium is like a soothing balm after the sober experience of the Panorama. It is a tour of the world of sea animals and a huge view of underwater activity. There are all manner of fish, snake-like creatures and many exotic species.
It is hard for anyone to see the wide collection of species and not wonder about life under the sea.
But it is not all about sightseeing. There is, also, medical tourism. The Sema Hospital is all that a hospital should be - not just a place to treat the sick, but a place to fully recover in style. A five-star hospital, it directly overlooks the sea, allowing a clear view of some islands. The neighborhood is serene and sparkling. It is the home of stars and the rich, but they don't mind having the hospital around after seeing its class. The equipment are first class and there is a certification that some of the world's best practise in the hospital. Little wonder foreigners are rushing to Sema. Among them was former Yobe Governor Mamman Ali for whom the doctors were looking for an organ before he passed on.
The efforts of the Turkish School in Nigeria are easy to understand after visiting FETIH College in Istanbul. The architectural design is outstanding, yet not purposely built to be conducive to a relaxed atmosphere for learning. Two big auditoriums, clean classrooms and restrooms, sports facilities as well as excited teachers. The kids were well behaved, eager to ask the visitors questions and take photographs.
There was some eagerness to know how Turkey has been coping with the security challenges posed by the tourist organisation, PKK. Some tips came at the Writers Foundation where an expert, who apparently had been following the deadly activities of the Boko Haram, spoke. He advised that the media should downplay the evil exploits of the sect's members because, in his view, they get emboldened whenever they succeed in grabbing the headlines. This, my colleagues and I concluded, could be very difficult, considering the reading public's interest in the sect's activities.
We were all in Turkey, courtesy of the Turkish Airlines and the UFUK Dialogue Foundation - an organisation that is devoted to peace in our world. Turkey has been reaching out to the world, selling its business and economic potential. In Nigeria, the Association of Investors and Businessmen of Turkey and Nigeria has been leading the way, "connecting people and businesses".
The fond memories of Istanbul - the snow, the glittering malls, peaceful streets, nice hotels and friendly locals hailing: marabaa (hello in Arabic) - remain with me, weeks after the one- week trip. When my friends talk about taking a break, with confidence I tell them: let's go to Turkey.

Project Valkyrie is a multiplayer first person shooter developed for the Source Engine. Players suit up in the Valkyrie suit, equipped with a powerful arm cannon integrated into the suit and the ability to morph into a sphere for faster mobility and different attack capabilities. Previously titled Three Month Mod, it was thus named for the amount of time it had taken us on the project. Three months from conception to release. Everything was done simultaneously, from pre-production concepts, to code, to mapping. Unfortunately, due to a delay with the public release of the Orange Box SDK (we couldn't release without it, even though we were already Orange Box!) our initial release had been delayed.

The fighter walked out on stage, absorbed the applause, bowed slightly and then sat down, looking every bit like the politician's son that he is: Sharp black suit, black shirt with the top button undone, black leather shoes and a bearded gaze that could slay many a lady. For Carlos Condit, the interim UFC welterweight titleholder who on Saturday night at UFC 154 will try to spoil mixed martial arts legend Georges St-Pierre's return after a 19-month injury-induced layoff, everything seems to come easy. He's good looking. He's well-spoken and comfortable in interviews. (At a press conference this week, when St-Pierre answered a question about Condit never having been knocked out in 33 fights by saying, "Always a first time for anything," Condit just responded with a grin, a turned head and a raised eyebrow, like a Hollywood actor.) He's a family man and loves to talk about his 2½-year-old son, Owen, and his wife, Seager. In short, he's everything the UFC needs to conquer its bad-boy...

Fatty Liver and Weight Loss Surgery

Washington, May 05: Researchers have said that bariatric surgery, which is best known for its ability to help patients lose substantial weight, can also result in significant improvement in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)....The Siasat Daily 2014-05-05

Bariatric surgery (weight-loss surgery) includes a variety of procedures performed on people who are obese. Weight loss is achieved by reducing the size of the stomach with an implanted medical device (gastric banding) or through removal of a portion of the stomach (sleeve gastrectomy or biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch) or by resecting and re-routing the small intestines to a small stomach pouch (gastric bypass surgery).
Long-term studies show the procedures cause significant long-term loss of weight, recovery from diabetes, improvement in cardiovascular risk factors, and a reduction in mortality of 23% from 40%. However, a study in Veterans Affairs (VA) patients has found no survival benefit associated with bariatric surgery among older, severely obese people when compared with usual care, at least out to seven years.
The U.S. National Institutes of Health recommends bariatric surgery for obese people with a body mass index (BMI) of at least 40, and for people with BMI 35 and serious coexisting medical conditions such as diabetes. However, research is emerging that suggests bariatric surgery could be appropriate for those with a BMI of 35 to 40 with no comorbidities or a BMI of 30 to 35 with significant comorbidities.
