Health Services Forms
Required Immunization Form
To comply with New York State regulations, please complete the following MMR and Meningitis Immunization Form.
Measles, Mumps, and Rubella (MMR)
New York State Public Health Law requires that full- and part-time students submit proof of immunity to measles, mumps, and rubella.
Meningococcal Meningitis Vaccine
New York State Public Health Law requires all college and university students to either receive the vaccination against Meningococcal meningitis, or acknowledge that they have been made aware of the risks and have chosen not to be vaccinated.
Meningococcal disease is a severe bacterial infection of the bloodstream or meninges (a thin lining covering the brain and spinal cord).
Anyone can get meningococcal disease, but it is more common in infants and children. For some college students, such as freshman living in dormitories, there is an increased risk of meningococcal disease. Between 100 and 125 cases of meningococcal disease occur on college campuses every year in the United States; between 5 and 15 college students die each year as a result of infection. Currently, no data are available regarding whether children can be in settings similar to college freshman living in dormitories. Other persons at increased risk include household contacts of a person known to have had this disease, and people traveling to parts of the world where meningitis is prevalent.
The meningococcal germ is spread by direct close contact with nose or throat discharges of an infected person. Many people carry this particular germ in their nose without any signs of illness, while others may develop serious symptoms. High fever, headache, vomiting, stiff neck, and a rash are symptoms of meningococcal disease. Among people who develop meningococcal disease, 10-1 5% die, in spite of treatment with antibiotics. Of those who live, permanent brain damage, hearing loss, kidney failure, loss of arms or legs, or chronic nervous system problems can occur. The symptoms may appear two to ten days after exposure, but usually within five days.
Treatment for meningococcal disease includes antibiotics, such as penicillin G or ceftriaxone. Also, a safe and effective vaccine is available. The vaccine is 85% to 100% effective in preventing four kinds of bacteria (serogroups A. C, Y, W-135) that cause about 70% of the disease in the United States. The vaccine is safe, with mild and infrequent side effects, such as redness and pain at the injection site lasting up to two days. After vaccination, immunity develops within seven to ten days and remains effective for approximately three to five years. As with any vaccine, vaccination against meningitis may not protect 100% of all susceptible individuals.
For more information about meningococcal disease, contact your family physician or your student health service. Additional information is also available on the websites of the New York State Department of Health, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the American College Health Association.
Recommended Physical Exam Form
Please present the Report of Medical History to the Physician or N.P. during your physical examination.
Accident and Health Insurance
The College automatically covers all full-time undergraduate students with a limited accident insurance policy that is in effect 24 hours a day, 52 weeks a year, both on and off campus.
Effective as of August 1, 2014, all international students enrolled at the College on a full-time basis are required to have health insurance coverage in the United States. Proof of coverage must be submitted to the Office of Student Accounts by September 1 of each year. Any full-time international student who has not submitted documentation of comparable coverage will be enrolled in and charged for the health insurance provided by the College.
Domestic students cannot purchase the College's health insurance plan for international students. Domestic students who are not covered through their parent's/guardian's plan should consult the Health Insurance Exchange Marketplace for coverage information.

Dr. Neimark is an excellent doctor, clearly dedicated to his patients' well-being rather than making a quick dollar. His office staff goes out of the way to help with your problems. It is a shame that not everyone can afford the experience of having a concierge doctor like Dr. Neimark.
Dr. Neimark immediately puts you at ease by talking with you, not at you, and coaching you through an illness or serious condition. When my wife had heart palpations and the HMO doctors told her to go on more drugs, Dr. Neimark correctly diagnosed the condition and saved my wife from years of bad treatment. I wish I could afford him now, he's the best. If you can afford his service, do it. He truly is a doctor for life, a great man.
He used to be my primary care physician. Had a scheduled appointment to see him and waited in the examination room for almost an hour. I could hear him chatting in the next room the entire time discussing topics such as Britney Spears. When he finally came in the room, he was in a rush and spent less than 5 minutes in consultation.
I started with Dr. Neimark in the 1980's up until he went into concierge medicine.Dr. Neimark is a person who picks up right were you left off from your last appointment. This is a Doctor who makes you feel like a lifelong friend. He always went the distance for me and never hurried our appointment. If I could afford the concierge medicine cost, I would have stayed with Dr. Neimark.It is rare to find a Doctor who has the ability to make you feel welcome, feel at home, has empathy etc...This is a doctor you keep for life.Tad W.

If you want positive feedback you probably won't find it on this forum...
There is a decent podcast done by Paul Thurrott, Leo Laporte, and Mary Joe Foley called Windows Weekly. They did some coverage of it and there were a few little tips on how to make it even more usable.
One of the neat features that you can do is quickly bring up a context menu with shortcuts to power user applications. If you move the mouse to the lower left corner and right click it, a menu will appear with some of the control panel settings, as well as launching a command prompt. Another cool thing was that simply hitting the windows key swapped back and forth between the start screen and your application. This would make it a whole lot faster to launch your common programs since you don't have to navigate the start menu to get to it. If you're a user of desktop icons this would be very much like you hitting the show desktop button, then locating the icon on your desktop and clicking that. Even if you're used to pinning icons to your taskbar this would be one addtional key press to get to the menu, but chances are your mouse it already just about on the tile you want since they are centered on the screen. you could also hit the arrow keys a couple of times and enter to launch the app. The other benefit is that live tiles are basically like widgets which can display info about a program without even opening it up. On my phone if I want to know what my next event is on my calendar it shows up right on the icon to launch my calendar. So on the desktop this would be like previewing outlook without even needing to open it.
I do agree that a central search function could be useful to speed up certain tasks. It's very likely that one will be added because it's one of the features that is also present on WP7. I could see using a combo like windows + S to bring up the dialog, much like Windows + R brings up the run command. I vaguely recall seeing a magnifying glass on the Charms bar, so it might be present there. If you move the mouse to the top right corner and slide it down the side of the screen, you can access the charms menu.
I'm looking forward to give this a shot because it will make a lot of sense after using WP7. If you take 10 - 15 minutes to pin all of your recently used items to the screen it should be pretty simple to get where you need to go. Once people can make metro apps for it you'll have plenty of quick shortcuts directly to the things you need. On Windows 7 for example even if you have the network icon in your tray or one the desktop you still need to perform more clicks to get to your network adapters than XP. On WP7 I can click on a live tile and have the options right there to enable or disable my adapters. What I think would be really sweet is if someone took the "God Mode" control panel from Windows 7 and make a metro app for it, so you could just 1 click into a big list of all of the settings.
One other really neat feature that will hopefully become integrated was the file management. If you watch that podcast they show how you can use Skydrive as a virtual storage device. This would make it far easier to work on documents that you have in the cloud. You can open it directly from there, and save it back without having to download, modify, and upload the new file. They showed integration with several photos sites but I could definitely see other places like dropbox being able to use this feature as well.
Hopefully some of that info will help you figure out how to make Windows 8 more productive. I'm sure it will be a bit awkward at first but basically it's like using a bunch of oversized desktop icons. Hopefully there will be a way to scale them, but honestly you aren't going to want too many rows otherwise you'll get lost in all of the tiles.

Try Windows + Q, that should bring up the search pane.
There is also Windows + W for Setting search, and Windows + F if you just want to search through files. Have to see if maybe Windows + Q is a web search or if it also does all of the above...
The Windows + PgUp and PgDown sounds kind of intriguing... I wonder if it also maintains placement and size or not. I could see using 2 1080p screens with split view mode on each monitor. Then you could juggle many programs back and forth between the screens as needed.

Viewing Violence: How Media Violence Affects Your Child's and Adolescent's Development
Doubleday, 1996 - Social Science - 256 pages
Psychologist and mother Madeline Levine looks at the history of television and movie violence in the United States. She translates into everyday language the results of over four decades of research on the effects of media violence - research that up until now has been inaccessible to most parents. Using a "developmental approach", Dr. Levine helps parents understand that children at different ages think about, understand, and experience the world in very different ways. An appreciation of these differences in how children "see" things is critical if parents are to make wise choices about what is appropriate and what is potentially harmful to their children. Using research findings, common sense, and personal experience, Dr. Levine demonstrates that violence is not generic - and neither are children: the movie that may be instructive and appropriate for an eleven-year-old may be traumatic and overwhelming for a seven-year-old. Parents frequently underestimate the impact of violent television on their children and may be surprised at what children find upsetting. Dr. Levine argues that the issue of media violence is not trivial, that our society is increasingly at risk not only for higher levels of violence but for a greater tolerance and acceptance of this violence. In spite of efforts from both sides of the political spectrum to claim media violence as a political issue, Dr. Levine insists this is a parenting and citizenship issue. She looks at how parents, government, schools, and the media itself can best approach the problem. The book concludes with a list of resources to help parents become active in media reform.

43 year old man | Durham, NC, USA | Seeking women 30-50 within 60 miles
I love to laugh...and always see the positive side of things. Looking for somebody to share Life's Journey with me.
Wow, where to start. It's hard to meet people with everything going at such a fast pace in this Technologically advanced world we live in, so I find myself online trying to meet people. I certainly can't meet someone dropping my daughter off at School or Gymnastics...lol I still have plenty of time to date, but just haven't had the opportunity to meet anybody new. With that being said, let me tell you about myself....I am down to Earth and always focus on the positives in life. I take things for face value and tell them like they are. I'm not easily rattled, nor do I judge a book by its cover. I love to laugh and smile and am always upbeat. My friends described me as being smart, witty, trustworthy, honest "almost to a fault", and having a great sense of humor... but also a lil sarcastic at times. I don't have a problem striking up a conversation w/ somebody I don't know in the grocery store line just to chat. I don't do drama as life is too short. My family and friends are really important to me, but sometimes that's just not enough. I love to listen to live music. My favorite place is the Beach. I also like to lay out by the pool, or water in general. I like going to Durham Bull's Baseball games, shooting pooI, and especially dining out. I'm a movie buff, so sometimes I like to just stay in and watch a DVD. During my down time, I enjoy doing crossword puzzles, reading, and keeping up with current events via the Internet.....and ofcourse I watch Football and ACC basketball during the cooler months.. (Just a disclaimer: if you're recently seperated and just trying the site to date around, or meet new people, other than your core group of friends, please just move past me. I've been divorced for 7 yrs, and if I meet somebody on here, I do want there to be a chance for more than just a casual relationship...Thx for understanding)..... I've share "drama free" joint custody of my 11 year old daughter. We both have our daughter's best interest at heart, so there is no hostility there. I am lucky to have a good relationship with my daughter, and to be such a big part of her life. Her "Needs" are my 1st priority as they should be for every parent. That doesn't mean that she is always my 1st priority. There is a difference and I'm looking for a woman that understands that about children, or she may even have kids herself. I don't mind kids at all, but am not able to have anymore myself. I've come to the point in my Life where I'm happy with who I am and what I've accomplished, but I would like to have that special someone as well. Like I said I'm easy going and understand that everybody needs their own life, time, and space. I'm looking for a woman to get to know and date first, and then we will see where it goes from there. I'd like to meet someone that is smart, witty, and self dependant. She has a positive attitude, and loves to laugh and smile, and a great sense of humor is a must!. She can talk about most any topic, but she doesn't always have to be right. She can agree to disagree and can compromise on most issues, and then move on. She is easy going, not selfish, and has a positive outlook on Life, because you never know what might be right around the corner. I believe life is 10% what happens to you, and 90% how you react to it. I also believe the key to a successful relationship is communication and lots of it, plus of course trust & intimacy. If you think we might click, then I'd love to hear from you...

I enjoy dining out. I like shooting pool, going to concerts, and baseball games. I'm also a movie buff. I usually only go see 1 movie a year because it's so expensive, and it's usually one that my daughter can't wait to see.

7 Coolest Animal Cross-breeds
Subscribe to our newsletter
Some things simply work better combined. For example, peanut butter and chocolate are awesome on their own, but combine the two and you get the confectionary equivalent of an orgasm. The very same principle applies to the animal kingdom, where cross-breeding has resulted in some of the most awesome animals on the planet.
Hybrid of: a male lion and a tigress
The Liger is currently the largest cat in the world, combining the wisdom and ferocious fighting abilities of Lion King's Mufasa with the cunningness and suaveness of Jungle Book's Shere Khan. This feline perfect storm of beauty and badassness has been the result of animal captivity because nature is cruel like that and normally doesn't allow the two species to meet.
But in artificial environments of zoos and research facilities the two star crossed lovers could finally meet and sired the magnificent liger, the biggest of which alive today is "Hercules" from Miami, coming in at roughly 904 pounds. The hugest liger in reported history however, weighted in at more than 1,759lb.
Interestingly enough, the liger is about the same size as the prehistoric American Lion, making the animal the closest thing to a real life Jurassic Park as we will ever get in the next couple of years.
Grolar Bear
Hybrid of: Grizzly and Polar bears
Once thought to only occur in captivity, the Grolar bear hybrid has been confirmed to exist naturally in the wild after a bunch of heartless bastards shot one in Northern Canada in 2006. If they did not get the death penalty there is no justice in this world…
The Grolar bear seems like a pretty impossible cross-breed. Grizzlies prefer land while Polar bears thrive nicely on ice and water, but in certain inhabitable ice-cold parts of Canada (you know, everything more than 200 miles from its southern border) there are places where the two species can meet and furiously hump from time to time, giving birth to this awesome grayish teddy.
Size wise, the Grolar bear is somewhat larger than a Grizzly but smaller than a Polar bear, exhibiting characteristics of both, like a long neck ending with a bigger head, large claws and a smooth fur, making it look pretty much like a cartoon character.
Hybrid of: a cow and a bison
Better take notice here, because with the way things are now, soon the beefalo will be standard serving at all American households in place of regular beef. The Beefalo has been appearing naturally in the US since the 18th century, and it was already in 1800 when we started to intentionally breed our cattle with the bison.
Unlike many cross-breeds, the beefalo is fertile, meaning it can produce its own offspring, making it perfect for future ranching. The animal supposedly mixes in the very best traits of cattle and bison: its meat is as delicious as typical beef but also significantly lower in fat and cholesterol, like the bison. If the breed will catch on it might completely replace regular cattle, ending in our hamburgers and steaks but killing us significantly slower.
The only downside is that the beefalo will basically wipe out the bison population, which will be completely bred out into beefalo and eaten if modern trends continue. We should maybe hold a massive beefalo barbeque in their honor or something.
Chimera of: a sheep and a goat
The geep is not a hybrid. A hybrid is what happens when 2 species bone until something vaguely different from each of them is born. A chimera is most often the result of genetic experiments, what happens when you start combining genes at an embryo level, which is what happened in the geep's case.
The geep is the result of combining the DNA of a sheep and a goat in order to… that was never made clear actually, but if one was to take a guess the answer would probably be "We wanted to see if it was possible". Ah science, thanks for reminding us that one day you will doom us all.
The results of this chimerization vary greatly, occasionally producing a weird breed of hairy sheep or wooly goats, but even that eventually gets bred out in the geep's 2nd or 3rd generation. Ultimately though, the geep is the result of bona fide mad sciencing, a real life genetic mutant, which could only get cooler if they bred a couple of eagle wings into it.

Soon Jews will celebrate Rosh HaShanah, the Jewish New Year. This year will be 5775 in the Jewish calendar.

Cameron Discusses With Merkel on EU Single Market, Middle East
Jan. 21 (Bloomberg) -- German Chancellor Angela Merkel and U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron discussed youth unemployment in Europe and preparations for the upcoming informal European Council meeting, according to a Downing Street spokesman.
Merkel called Cameron earlier today and they both agreed to focus on improving the "functioning of national labor markets in the European Union," and use the "full potential of the single market" to improve cross border trade, the spokesman said in an emailed statement today.
They also discussed the talks between Israel and Palestine following the visit by Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas to London and Berlin earlier this week.

Re: The Christmas Countdown Thread!
Ah, Christmas cards. Is this a dying custom? It sure seems like it. My parents still receive some, but pretty much everyone in the family has stopped sending them. Since moving out on my own 6 years ago I have only received about 2 Christmas cards a year, both from my grandmas! I've never sent them out myself. Friends my age would probably think it strange if they received one from me. Maybe they are a thing meant to send out when you are older and have made more connections throughout life.
Time present and time past
are both perhaps present in time future.
And time future contained in time past.

thank you for liberation
What I have found walking in the end of the city the other day. Unusually enough to some - the statue of Soviet soldiers who liberated (well, they helped local resistance forces in fact) the area in the end of WWII in 1945; the statue is placed in a shy corner of the town, near Mura river and Finance office on Graztetor square, in a shade of large trees and green lawn. Far away from common sights, and probably with a reason; it's reminder - for all positive and negative so let me not go into detail right now - it doesn't matter at this point and purposes.
It's only three Soviet soldiers on that large stone, elevated. The inscription is in Russian which I understand only half, and if you care or not, there's also an emblem of Soviet Union upon the cyrillic letters.
I remember that my grandmother told us about Soviet soldiers, or the Red army like they knew them, were accepted with great hopes by the local people in these regions close to end of big war 2. Great numbers of them died in turbulent waters of Mura when they advanced into new Slavic teritorries, meeting the local partisans movement and oust the enemy together. They were greeted as winners yet on the other hand feared for their robusteness and 'wild' drinking.

Florida Fair And Open Primaries
Voter Nominated Top Two Open Primary
Let's change the way voters and candidates come together at election time.
Florida Fair And Open Primaries is a Grass Roots Non-Partisan ALL Volunteer Organization that supports adding a constitutional amendment to the 2016/2018 election ballot to change Florida primary elections from a Closed Political Party
System to a Voter Nominated Top Two Open Primary System.
Imagine a primary election system where ALL candidates are listed on a single
ballot and ALL voters chose candidates from any party or no party. The Top Two
candidates in each race compete in the General Election.
The simple truth is that Voter Nominated Top Two Open Primaries:
• Give ALL Voters a Voice Where it Counts -- IN A PRIMARY ELECTION
• Give Voice to over 2.9 million No Party Affiliation (NPA) & Minor Party Voters
• Only use our Tax Dollars for Primaries where ALL Voters can Participate
• Allow Candidates to Campaign on Ideas & Solutions, Not Party Ideologies
• Retain Party Rights to Associate and Select Candidates of Their Choice
• Require Candidates to Listen to and Appeal to a Broader General Electorate Base
• Eliminate Spoiler Effect in General Election
Currently in Florida
Florida and eighteen other states have Closed Primary Elections where only members of a political party may vote in their Party's primary. The taxpayers including the Independent Party, or those with No Party Affiliation (NPA), finance these primaries with taxpayer dollars. That means that 40+% of the US voters that are Independent/(NPA) become disenfranchised in primary elections. Yet they still have their taxes used to finance the elections of the Party that they have no say in which candidate should be selected/elected.
Polls show the number of Americans identifying as Independents or No Party Affiliation has surpassed that of Democrat or Republican. This disconnect-between the growing independence of the citizenry and the highly partisan nature of our governing process-is creating an unhealthy situation for our democracy.
We support and ask for your support of the Voter Nominated Top Two Open Primary Initiative as an important step towards transforming our political process and moving forward as a State and as a Nation.
We Thank You! Florida Fair And Open Primaries

The team blog of the Expression Blend and Design
One of the slew of new things that is being released at MIX today is the Deep Zoom Composer powertoy:
If you have followed the Silverlight 2 Beta 1 announcements, Silverlight 2 includes support for the Deep Zoom technology to allow you to quickly and smoothly zoom in on really large images. If you want to see an amazing implementation of the Deep Zoom technology, check out the Hard Rock Memorabilia site: http://memorabilia.hardrock.com/
What is the Deep Zoom Composer? Deep Zoom Composer allows you to quickly import your own images, arrange and position them to your liking, and export the final output as either a Deep Zoom Image or Collection that can be fed into Silverlight's MutliScaleImage control. This means that you too can use your own images and display them using our Deep Zoom technology.
Click the link below to download the free preview version:
Because we are currently at MIX, we haven't had a chance to write a detailed post outlining all of the cool things you can create. Rest assured, we'll be explaining more about this application in future blog posts, but until then, feel free to try this out and let us know what you think.
Cheers! Celso, Janete, Kirupa, and Lutz
FYI: In case you are curious, Deep Zoom is related to the SeaDragon technology that we have been demoing in our PhotoSynth application for a while.

Hi, I'm using the IE8 beta, and the Hard Rock site fails to load your demo even with SilverLight installed in both "native" and "IE7" emulation modes.
Accessing the Hard Rock site insists on downloading a ".bin" file : this is intercepted by my Internet Download Manager and downloaded. Perhaps this file must be placed in a certain directory ?
I have all the latest .NET frameworks, updates, etc.
Here's the error message :

by Don Burnett Over at the Expression Blend blog, Microsoft released a tool for Silverlight 2.0 to preview
This is interesting, but only just the beginning. From a geo-IT / web mapping solutions perspective, you'd want to be able to convert either a single very large image (we're talking gigabytes) or an already existing cache of map tiles to the Deep Zoom file / directory structure. This seems not too hard to do, except for the .bin file, which seems important because the Silverlight control points to it. How about shedding some light on this binary file - tha t would be most welcome.
If you liked the Hard Rock demo from MIX , here's how you can easily build something similar yourself

This invention is a system of assembling and interconnecting circuits and the method of manufacturing this system. The invention is a two-dimensional (2D) system to electrically interconnect circuits and a system to electrically interconnect the 2D systems produced to form a three-dimensional (3D) structure.
The invention is also a 2D or 3D system to assemble and electrically and/or optically interconnect integrated circuits.
The invention is also a process to manufacture such integrated circuit interconnection systems.
The system according to the invention is a self-supporting multilayer polymer-metal sheet on which the circuits are connected.
In the prior art, integrated circuits ("chips") are assembled on 2D interconnection circuits on a rigid substrate (hybrid module or printed circuit, also known as a "board"). Several of these modules or boards may also be assembled into a 3D structure either by electrical connectors around the periphery of the modules or boards, themselves connected into a rigid structure designed to accommodate the modules or boards and to electrically connect them together and to the outside, or by stacking modules or boards with electrical interconnections between neighboring modules or boards.
The continuing growth in the number of electronic components assembled in modern equipment and increasing miniaturization means that the number of connections required between components in complex circuits is becoming a factor which limits the progress of the state of the art.
In parallel, the growing complexity of circuits, the increasing number of electronic signal inputs and outputs (I/O), the increasing number of signals transmitted in and between the circuits and the decreasing physical magnitude (current, voltage) of the signals is leading to increased problems with the reliability of interconnections.
The current trend in interconnection systems for "very large scale integration" circuits (VLSI) is towards a hybrid system in which bare chips are interconnected directly by a common substrate which forms the mechanical support for the circuits, includes the interconnections between the circuits and the connections to the outside and, frequently, serves as a heat sink for the heat dissipated by certain components.
The substrate, with the number of add-on bare chips and its several dielectric layers, separating several metallic interconnection layers, is then enclosed in a hermetically-sealed housing (the technique is known as "multichip packaging").
The criteria used to design an interconnection system, whose importance varies depending on the specific application, are, therefore, parameters such as the density, efficiency, performance, reliability, heat dissipation, etc. In choosing an interconnection system, it is frequently necessary to compromise between these parameters.
Of the many dielectrics which can be used to separate the various conductive layers, polyimides or other thermostable polymers such as, for example, polyphenylquinoxalines are appreciated for their ease of use (deposition, opening of vias for connections between conductive layers, planarization, etc.) and for their low dielectric permittivity (compared to mineral dielectrics) which allows them to be used at higher frequencies.
The use of multilayer polyimide-metal (Al or Cu) interconnections on different types of substrates is well known in the prior art.
For example, it is known that silicon can be used as a substrate, in combination with monolithic lithographic techniques, to obtain high-density multilayer interconnection systems. The equipment and know-how used for normal microelectronic processes applied to silicon can be used directly, providing high resolution and, therefore, a dense interconnection system with a high yield in manufacture.
The integrated circuits ("chips") are then assembled onto the interconnection system and connected by techniques known to industry, the most common being tape automated bonding (TAB), the flip-clip or wirebonding. In all these interconnection systems known to prior art, the limits in terms of connection density, performance and reliability lie, to a large extent, in the electrical connection of the chips.
Consequently, to connect these chips, it has been proposed to use techniques derived from known integrated circuit processes (lithography, thin-film deposition, etc.) applied to a monolithic substrate to obtain the high density, high performance, reliability and high yield in manufacture which these techniques, already widely used in silicon microelectronics, offer.
Because these processes are basically planar, it then becomes necessary to place the surface of the integrated circuit and that of the substrate at the same level. In the prior art, this was achieved by cutting recesses into the silicon substrate, positioning and attaching the chips in these recesses and then "planarizing" which involves coverring the surface with organic resin to make it flat FIG. 1.
Three problems encountered with this technique are the difficulty of correctly locating the chip relative to the interconnection pads on the substrate, the extreme difficulty of replacing faulty chips and the mechanical stresses caused by differences in the thermal coefficients of expansion of the different materials.
Another technique proposed is to bond a "Kapton" film onto chips already located on a substrate and then define the interconnections directly using a microprocessor-controlled laser. This method not only presents the same repair problems as the previous method (the interconnection system must be remanufactured if a faulty chip is replaced) but only allows a relatively low interconnection density.
These two-dimensional (2D) interconnection structures on substrates, in addition to the disadvantages mentioned above, all present difficulties in making electrical connections through the substrate, which is essential for a 3D structure.
It has also been proposed to produce a three-dimensional (3D) interconnection structures by stacking 2D structures (FIG. 2). In a 3D interconnection system using these methods, the substrate thickness, approximately 500 microns, represents a large part of the overall volume. In addition, it is technologically extremely difficult to make electrical connections through the substrates.
The purpose of this invention is precisely to overcome these disadvantages of the prior art, both in two-dimensional and three-dimensional interconnection systems.
The invention overcomes all the disadvantages of using a substrate in an interconnection system, i.e. it eliminates all steps required to work the substrate such as machining the recesses, positioning chips, planarization, etc. In a three-dimensional interconnection system, the invention avoids the use of the substrate and thus improves the number of active components and interconnections that can be provided within a given volume and eliminates the problems of making connections through the substrate.
The invention only uses a rigid substrate in certain stages in manufacture and this substrate is then removed.
The system described in the invention can be easily adapted for 2D and 3D optical interconnection of circuits comprising optoelectronic emitters and detectors.
One aspect of the invention is, therefore, a method of producing a hybrid structure using a multilayer polymer-metal integrated circuit interconnection system to make electronic and/or optical connections in two dimensions, in which a multilayer interconnection system is produced on a rigid substrate but can subsequently be removed from the substrate, in which the integrated circuits are placed on the multilayer and in which the rigid substrate is removed after installation and connection of the integrated circuits.
The interconnection system carrying the chips, connected together, is then self-supporting.
Another aspect of the invention is a method of producing hybrid structures with three-dimensional optical and/or electrical interconnections in which self-supporting multilayer 2D interconnection systems are produced as described in the above paragraph and in which, once the rigid substrate has been removed, connection points are produced on the face of the multilayer interconnection system left accessible when the substrate is removed and in which these two dimensional multilayer interconnection systems are then stacked and connected together by way of said connection points.
An embodiment of the invention is a hybrid structure using a multilayer polymer-metal system to interconnect integrated circuits which allows electrical and/or optical connections to be made between integrated circuits arranged in two dimensions on a plane produced using the methods described in the previous paragraphs.
Another embodiment of the invention is a three-dimensional system to interconnect integrated circuits in which several self-supporting two-dimensional multilayer systems produced as described in the previous paragraphs are stacked and connected together, the connections being made, in particular, on the face of the multilayer system made accessible by removing the substrate.
The invention will be better understood, and other advantages will become clear, upon reading the following description, which is not exhaustive, and by studying the appended figures including:
FIG. 1, already mentioned, which is a perspective view of an example of an electrical interconnection system on a substrate known in the prior art;
FIG. 2, already mentioned, which is an example of a three-dimensional electrical interconnection system produced by stacking interconnection systems on a substrate as known in the prior art;
FIGS. 3 to 6 which schematically illustrate the main steps in a process to manufacture a multilayer polymer-metal system to interconnect integrated circuits in two dimensions (2D) according to the invention;
FIG. 7 schematically illustrates an example of a three-dimensional interconnection system produced by stacking 2D interconnection systems according to the invention,
FIGS. 8a and 8b schematically shows a top view and cross-section of a two-dimensional optical and electrical interconnection system.
The same reference numbers are used to identify the same components on each figure.
FIG. 1 illustrates the prior art and shows substrate 1, for example of silicon, which carries a first metal interconnection layer 5 and in which recesses 9 have been machined to insert integrated circuits 2 with their connection pads, after which a planarizing resin 4 has been added to fill the space around the circuit so that the first dielectric insulating layer 7, for example of polymer, can be deposited on the first metal interconnection layer 5. To allow electrical connections to be made through this dielectric layer, holes, known as "vias" 8 are produced in the dielectric layer at the required positions and a second metallization layer 6 can then be applied, using photolithographic methods or any other method, used in industry. Other dielectric and metallization layers (not shown) can then be applied in the same way until the degree of complexity required for the application is achieved.
FIG. 2 shows an example of a three-dimensional (3D) interconnection system according to the prior art and produced by stacking 2D systems. Substrate 1, for example of silicon, with its metal/dielectric interconnection layers (not shown), carries integrated circuits 2 mounted on both sides using metal bumps 16 and the method known in industry as "flip chip".
The heat dissipated by the chips is evacuated by heat pipes 20 which may be simple "heat sinks" to conduct away the heat or may allow a cooling fluid to flow. Electrical interconnections between 2D structures are made by vias 28 running through structural components 21 and connected at their ends by metal bumps 16 and by vias (not shown) produced through substrates 1.
This schematic diagram shows the large proportion of the volume occupied by substrate 1.
FIGS. 3 to 6 illustrate steps in an example of a process to manufacture electrical interconnection system according to the invention.
FIG. 3 schematically shows the first step which consists in depositing a first polymer layer 17, a few microns thick, on substrate 1, which can advantageously be silicon or silica used in microelectronics, such that the layer can subsequently be easily separated from the substrate.
This can be, for example, a layer of polyimide 17 deposited by techniques known to the industry, such as spin coating or spraying a polyamic acid solution or soluble polyimide onto the substrate. This type of deposit can be stripped or peeled by soaking in a polar liquid such as, for example, water, possible using ultrasound to strengthen the effect. Again, it can be a layer deposited by bonding or rolling a film of polymer 17 onto a substrate using a thermosplastic or soluble adhesive. The bonded layer can then be separated from the substrate by heat or a solvent.
FIG. 4 shows the second step which consists in producing a multilayer metal/polymer electrical interconnection system as known in the art, of which a few examples were given in the previous figures.
An adhesion-improving product can be used to avoid separation of the layers in the wafer or the system can be co-cured after deposition.
FIG. 4 shows substrate 1, the first polymer layer 17 and then several metal interconnection layers 5, 6, etc. separated by layers of polymer 7 with conductive vias 8 through the polymer layers to connect the different interconnection layers as in the previous case. Connection pads 33 are produced on the last metallization layer; these will subsequently be connected to the corresponding pads on the chips installed later. The chips are then installed using the assembly method selected by the designer (wire bonding, TAB, flip-chip).
The flip-chip method is particularly advantageous when used with this invention and is described more specifically in FIGS. 4 to 7. Metal bumps 16 are previously formed on each of the connection pads 3 for chips 2 and these bumps are then connected to the multilayer interconnection system pads 33 by remelting. This technique guarantees better positioning of chips 2 because they tend to self-center due to the surface tension of the small drops of liquid metal. The density of the connections which can be produced with this technique is also improved since the position of the pads 3 need not be limited to the periphery of the chip and there can, therefore, be a considerably greater number of connections. Finally, faulty circuits can easily be removed by remelting the bumps and, therefore, the system is easier to repair.
A variant of the flip-chip technique can also be used; this involves forming the bumps of thermoplastic resin containing an electroconductive filler instead of metal or metal alloy. The use of this type of material makes repairs even easier and its mechanical flexibility reduces the stresses generated by differences in the coefficients of expansion of the chips and the interconnection system.
The multilayer interconnection system is referred to as item 99.
In the next step, shown in FIG. 5, a stiffening element, such as frame 31, is fixed and connected to the interconnection system 99, preferably but not exclusively by bumps identical to bumps 16 used to attach chips 2 to the interconnection system 99 in the flip-chip method described above. This frame contains holes corresponding to the positions of chips 2 and preferably includes a system of conductors 28 running through it from one face to the other perpendicular to the surface of multilayer system 99 carrying chips 2.
This frame can be of any conductive material (metal) or a dielectric (ceramic, insulating silicon, glass, polymer, etc.) and can be molded, machined from solid or be an assembly of parts. The material and dimensions can be selected to match the design of the application and to extract heat or to form the electrical ground or, again, to serve as a mechanical support for a package or for electrical connections to the outside.
The frame could, for example, advantageously be produced in a high-temperature thermosetting or thermoplastic polymer (for example condensation polyimide or polyimide with epoxy additive, polyetherimide, polyethersulfone, polyetheretherketone, phenyl polysulfide, liquid crystal polymer, etc.).
The conductive network 28 in the frame can be produced by inserting conductors during molding or by drilling and then filling with a conductive deposit or by any other method. If a conductive frame is used, this network is insulated inside the conductive frame and can then be used as transmission lines shielded by the frame itself; this can be an advantage in protecting the signals transmitted against any electromagnetic interference.
The last step, shown in FIG. 6, consists in removing substrate 1, leaving frame 31 and chips 2 attached to the interconnection system 99 by bumps 16. The frame keeps the assembly rigid.
Once the substrate is removed, bumps can be produced on the other face of the interconnection system 99 and these vias can be connected to the network of conductors 28 within the frame 31 network; these bumps then allow the 2D systems to be stacked into a 3D system as shown on FIG. 7. The connections between the stacked 2D systems are made through the conductor network 28 (already described) in rigid frames 31.
The frame dimensions are chosen to allow the circuits in a 2D system and the 2D systems in a 3D system to be spaced to optimize the density of electronic components allowing for cooling needs, which may be satisfied as shown in FIG. 2 by adding heat sinks (heat-conducting rods in contact with the free side of chips and running through frames 31 to the outside) or by a cooling fluid (air, "FREON", FLOURINET, etc.) flowing through the rigid frame 31 to cool the chips the frame surrounds.
FIG. 8 shows, schematically, a top view (8B) and a cross-section (8A) of a 2D example of a variant of the invention comprising optical connections between optoelectronic devices.
As in the previous cases, the flip-chip technique is used only for purposes of illustration for electrical interconnections with the chips. As in the previous cases, the chips which, in this case, are optoelectronic devices 22, are assembled on a self-supporting metal-polyimide electrical interconnection system 99 held rigid by frame 31 and including vias 28 if the 2D assembly is to be stacked to form a 3D assembly. These optoelectronic devices may include both optoelectronic integrated circuits and conventional electronic integrated circuits (which require no optical interconnections) or, again, simple photodetectors or light signal emitters.
Compared to the interconnection systems shown on the previous diagrams, a last dielectric layer 77 is added between the multilayer interconnection system 99 and circuits 22 and frame 31. This dielectric layer is applied to the face of multilayer interconnection system 99 with its connection pads 33; however, the dielectric layer does not cover these pads. This dielectric layer 77 includes optical guides 71 used to transmit the light signals between devices requiring optical interconnection.
These optical guides may be produced by photolithographic techniques or by exposing a photosensitive polymer to UV radiation through a mask or again by reactive ion etching through an aluminum mask applied previously, thus forming tracks in the dielectric layer, these tracks having a different refractive index to the rest of the layer and thus acting as optical guides. They are shown as straight lines in FIG. 8 but can be of various and differing shapes to obtain the interconnections required.
In this example, diffractive networks (which can be produced by photolithography on the surface of the guides) provide optical coupling between the guides and the optoelectronic components.
