Lee MacPhail
Leland Stanford, MacPhail Jr.
- Born October 25, 1917 in Nashville, TN USA
- Inducted into Hall of Fame in 1998
Son of fellow Hall of Famer Larry MacPhail, Lee MacPhail served as general manager of the Baltimore Orioles and New York Yankees and as American League president. His son Andy built a World Series winner in Minnesota. Another son Lee III was working as the GM of the Reading Phillies when he was killed in a car crash near Reading in 1969. As of 2008, Lee IV was working as the Director of Professional Scouting for the Baltimore Orioles.
After graduating from Swarthmore College, MacPhail was the business manager of the Reading Brooks in 1941. He was the General Manager of the Toronto Maple Leafs, then began a long association with the Yankees. He was the business manager then GM of the Kansas City Blues, then midwest farm director for the Yankees. He was Co-farm director, then director of player personnel for the team.
In 1959, MacPhail joined the Orioles as GM and was president of the team from 1960 to 1965. At the time of his departure from Baltimore, MacPhail and his successor, Harry Dalton, were beginning negotiations with the Reds for a blockbuster trade that would bring Frank Robinson to Baltimore; Robinson would lead the Orioles to the 1966 world championship and win the American League Triple Crown and Most Valuable Player award.
After a brief term as top aide to the new commissioner, Eckert, in 1965–66, MacPhail served as the Yankees' general manager from October 14, 1966 to 1974, a rebuilding phase of the Yanks marked by the promotion of Bobby Murcer and Thurman Munson to the club, but no pennants or postseason appearances. MacPhail was elected American League President from 1974 to 1984. During his tenure, he oversaw expansion to the Toronto Blue Jays and the Seattle Mariners and was credited with bringing an end to the 1981 baseball strike when he stepped in for the owners to handle stalled negotiations.
MacPhail then replaced Joe Cronin as president of the American League from 1974 to 1983, just long enough to rule on George Brett's infamous "pine tar" home run off of Rich Gossage.
Quote: "Unfortunately, a person with Dad's talent comes along only once every 50 years. I've never thought of imitating him. I inherited neither his genius nor his temper. I'm just an ordinary person." Lee MacPhail.
Trivia: The MacPhails are the only father-son combination in the Hall of Fame.
With the passing of Phil Rizzuto, MacPhail is currently the oldest living Hall-of-Famer.By BR Bullpen

Do You Suffer From Back Pain?
The Sleep Number® Bed is the only mattress clinically proven to relieve back pain and improve sleep quality.
93% experienced back-pain relief
89% reported improved sleep quality
77% found increased energy
Sleep Number For Back Pain
More than 80% of Americans will suffer from back pain in their lifetime. Your innerspring mattress may be the culprit, making the back pain worse with hard steel coils that poke and prod against your sensitive muscles and joints. Beds that allow you to adjust firmness to your ideal comfort, like the Sleep Number bed with DualAir™ technology, can provide relief.
Studies find improved sleep quality and less back pain on the Sleep Number bed
An exciting new sleep study conducted at Massachusetts General Hospital by Harvard researchers found the majority of participants who switched to a different bed reported:
- A decrease in back and neck aches
- A significant decrease in soreness, stiffness and pain
- A significant improvement in sleep quality
- The ability to fall asleep faster and sleep longer
That bed was the Sleep Number bed. This important research supports the findings of five other scientific studies on the Sleep Number bed.†
Bottom line: Better sleep quality is possible when you personalize your comfort on the Sleep Number bed.
There's nothing more natural than air. It gives more even support, plus the Sleep Number bed can adjust to fit your day to day, month to month, year to year.

35 year old woman | Boulder, CO, USA | Seeking men 26-36 within 20 miles
Adventurous spirit...
If I could describe my philosophy on life in a nutshell, it's that life is what you make of it. Regardless of how something seems at the time, whether good or bad, I'm almost always eventually grateful for things that happen in my life. A little bit about me… After working in Boulder for a couple of years, I moved out to the plains for a job opportunity, but still have a home in Lafayette and spend my weekends off hiking and spending time with friends in Boulder. I work in healthcare and I love what I do. I get to interact and connect with beautiful women every day. I learn more about myself through my interactions with others and I get the opportunity to be a part of people's lives in a way that most people never get to experience. And delivering babies on a daily basis is nothing short of awesome! Greeting new life as it meets the world for the first time is a truly a gift. In my free time, I love doing just about anything outdoors...like many of us drawn to Boulder/Colorado, I love hiking and exploring the local trails on the weekends. In the winter, you'll find me out on the slopes skiing as frequently as I can. I had only skied once or twice before moving to Colorado a few years ago, but enjoy it so much - I even bought my own skis and snow boots last season! I am an honest, open, kind, and generous woman and feel that have a lot to offer in a relationship. I'm at the point in my life where I feel like I have the time and mental/emotional energy to devote to a new relationship. What I'm looking for in a partner… someone who is humble, fun to be around, and can keep up with me. A man who is experienced enough in relationships to know who he is and what he wants. You must like and not be allergic to cats, as I am particularly attached to a lovely beautiful calico. And perhaps most importantly - I want and need someone who has a desire to grow in relationship with another person. If you're interested, please send an email. I'm looking forward to meeting you! :)

Station Plaza Wine & SpiritsRead MoreIn 1936, nearly three years after the end of Prohibition, Station Plaza Wine and Spirits opened its doors. And so long as alcohol has remained legal, Station Plaza has remained on Kraft Avenue, its shop stocked with top-shelf spirits including brandy, tequila, and sambuca. Though it has a wide selection of hard liquor, the store really specializes in wine. Its collection includes more than 2,500 hand-selected labels from around the world. Wine consultants can help narrow down a patron's search for the perfect bottle by wine type, region, or producer, and they can even steer customers in the direction of more hard-to-find varietals or organic wines. The Station Plaza team also champions wines that rank in their top-rated category. The discerning criteria for inclusion on this list are taste and seasonality, rather than whether it stains your lips an attractive color. To learn more, check out the wine blog one of Station's owners contributes to.102 Kraft AveBronxville, NY US

Advanced Aesthetic SolutionsRead MoreAt Skin Clinic, owner Maria Anello Aponte creates an environment in which clients are treated holistically to address skin conditions that are often squelched with plastic surgery. During complimentary consultations, skincare professionals analyze each client's skin type while taking into consideration lifestyle, diet, and their complete medical history. With this all-encompassing view in mind, the spa's team designs treatments specific to each person's needs and desires. For instance, the aestheticians can recommend noninvasive skin-tightening treatments such as SmoothSculpt, which tones skin around the jowls and neck and smoothes away wrinkles without using any starch. Additionally, they educate their clients on how best to care for their skin on a day-to-day basis. The center's experts may also help boost self-confidence by reducing concerns associated with sun damage, acne, and hyperpigmentation by administering rejuvenating facials, microdermabrasions, or chemical peels.1 Stone PlaceBronxville, NY US

Having first opened in 1991 in Westchester, experienced chefs in the kitchen orchestrate dishes of spicy jambalaya, boiled crawfish, and exotic alligator sausage that are every bit as expressive and flavorful as the tunes they complement. Dishes arrive with steam still curling into the air, awaiting diner's selection from a menu of 100 gourmet hot sauces that customize dishes with fiery flavors of habanero peppers, smoked chipotles, peach and vidalia onion, and dragon tears. Bayou's chefs also whip up their creole food for special events with their catering services.580 Gramatan AveMount Vernon, NY US

Craig McEwen, Published July 04 2009
Zorbaz turnz 40
23-year-old entrepreneur Tom Hanson started selling $3 frozen pizzas and 25-cent tap beer from a vacated beach-front candy shop on Little Detroit Lake.
"I called this place Zorbaz at the Beach," said Hanson, named after the 1964 movie titled "Zorba the Greek."
This summer, and nine restaurants later, the Minnesota pizza chain is celebrating its 40th birthday.
During those four decades, Zorbaz has employed more than 3,000 people, Hanson said.
How many pizzas has it served?
"In the millions," Hanson estimates. "Everything is made from scratch – quite an evolution,"
Today, the flagship restaurant offers 50 types of pizza with 25 different toppings and 96 tap beer varieties.
Zorbaz' landing on Detroit Lakes' popular mile-long beach, home to family-oriented resorts, motels and homes, caused a neighborhood ruckus at the time.
Zorbaz catered to and attracted young clientele in search of fun, often more than neighbors wanted to tolerate.
"People felt it was too noisy, too many young people causing problems," recalls Hanson. "They weren't used to having a lot of activity along the beach."
Remember, this was the same year that 450,000 young rock fans gathered near Bethel, N.Y., for the historic, four-day Woodstock Festival.
Six years after Zorbaz opened, the Detroit Lakes City Council voted to revoke its 3.2 beer license.
The late Kent Freeman, then city mayor, vetoed the revocation and Zorbaz persevered.
Today, Zorbaz restaurants in Detroit Lakes, Perham, Pelican Lake, Otter Tail Lake, Cross Lake, Gull Lake, Park Rapids and McGregor employ 450 people. Six locations are open year around.
"I remember the first Fourth of July that we sold 100 kegs in one day. That was the summer of 1976," said Hanson.
Mexican food was added to the menu in the 1970s, he said.
"I'm Scandinavian. Zorbaz is Greek. And we serve Italian and Mexican food," said Hanson. "Pizza is still No. 1."
Finding a niche
As a young 1960s college student, Hanson frequented The Green Door, a popular Detroit Lakes pizza joint.
Its eventual closure created a void and an opportunity that Hanson couldn't pass up.
He acquired the vacant candy store down the beach. "I threw an oven in it, a two-keg beer tap, opened the doors and held my breath," said the former Detroit Lakes High School speech teacher.
Hanson, now 63, graduated from Detroit Lakes High School in 1963 and in 1968 from Moorhead State University, where he majored in communications and political science.
"I never had a business course in my life," he said.
"We really hit our stride when Playboy cited Detroit Lakes and Zorbaz as one of the top three summer party locations in the country," he said.
It happened in the mid-1970s, said Hanson. "That summer it was like a dam broke."
A city landmark
Current Detroit Lakes Mayor Matt Brenk was one of Hanson's high school students.
He was then too young to patronize the pizza shop, Brenk said.
"As I got older, we used to go to Zorbaz a lot. It's been a great asset to the community in terms of bringing people down to the beach area," Brenk said.
Detroit Lakes native Linda Mallow and five hungry kids fill a restaurant table.
"They wanted pizza. So I said, 'Let's go to Zorbaz,' " said Mallow, who remembers at a younger age, pulling up by boat to pick up pre-ordered pizzas.
"In high school, picking up a pizza and eating it on the beach was fun, too," she said.
Her son Ben, 12, orders the 4-20, a double-baked burrito filled with chicken, bacon, lettuce and cheese.
"It tastes good," he said. "And it's pretty big."

After a long day of doing tours in Cebu it was time for dinner.
We wanted to try a local Cebuano place and this was the place to be.
We stayed in the open-air section, which was not a problem even for our toddler as the ambience was perfect for an early dinner of seafood and a cold bottle of beer!
The food was quite typical - grilled meats and seafood. What I found unique was the clam soup, it was marvelous!
Our toddler was quite entertained by the huge fish aquarium they had setup in the middle.
This place is a must to get the local feel in an unpretentious atmoshpere.
Price is affordable too.

Grant Enders passed for two touchdowns and Terrance West ran for two more, the second a 3-yarder in overtime to give Towson a dramatic 34-27 victory over Delaware Saturday in Colonial Athletic Association action. Enders' scoring passes both went to Emmanuel Holder, the second a 2-yarder with 0:44 left in regulation giving Towson (5-4, 4-2) a 27-24 lead. But Delaware's Sean Baner kicked his second field goal, a 40-yarder with 2.8 seconds left, to force overtime. If Towson's D.J. Soven hadn't missed the point-after following the Tigers' third touchdown, Towson might have won in regulation. On the Tigers' first possession of overtime, West - who rushed for 113 yards - scored from the 3-yard line. Soven kicked the extra-point. On Delaware's possession, the Blue Hens (5-4, 2-4) went nowhere. Hurley was stopped for no gain on first down, then threw two incompletions before Towson's John Love intercepted at the 1.

...the conservative council-member was calling for a repeal of the city's anti-discrimination ordinance, which bans discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity... The lone dissenting vote came from right-wing councilman Ron Webb, who said that he opposes the non-discrimination law because "The Bible tells you homosexuals are an abomination."...Pamela Raintree, a transgender woman who quoted the Bible to Webb, saying, "Leviticus 20:13 states, 'If a man also lie with mankind as he lieth with a woman, they shall surely put him to death,'" she said. "I brought the first stone, Mr. Webb, in case that your Bible talk isn't just a smoke screen for personal prejudices."Minutes later, Webb withdrew his resolution without calling for a vote.
I only have a filter for people who do not consistently beg to be belittled, ridiculed, insulted, and demeaned.
I may believe people, as a whole, should be treated fairly but I also believe those same people are idiots.
Minutes later, Webb withdrew his resolution without calling for a vote.

By Jason Schott - @JESchott19
The Nets and Knicks traded blowouts in their first two meetings earlier this season, and Wednesday night was no exception, as the Knicks beat the Nets 110-81 at Madison Square Garden.
The turning point in this one was a 10-0 run by the Knicks at the end of the first quarter to give them a 29-20 lead. The run was capped by a thunderous Carmelo Anthony dunk and a Tim Hardaway, Jr. three-pointer with no time on the clock, and after it, Hardaway did a windmill motion with his right arm taunting the Nets. Nets Head Coach Jason Kidd said of the first quarter, "We had some turnovers, they capitalized on it. We had some good looks. It was still a game but they were the better team tonight."
The Knicks' momentum continued into the second quarter, started by a Hardaway, Jr. three-pointer, an Iman Shumpert layup, and Shumpert setting up Tyson Chandler for an alley-oop that made it 36-22.
Soon after that, at the 8:56 mark, Andray Blatche was called for a foul going for a loose ball, off a J.R. Smith miss, against Tyson Chandler. Blatche was called for a foul, which prompted the ire of Nets Head Coach Jason Kidd, who drew a rare technical foul.
If Kidd did this to get his team going, it didn't work, as the Knicks poured it on, and led by as many as 25 points, at 61-36, with a minute left in the first half. The Knicks led 63-38 at halftime and shot an impressive 66.7 percent from the field, or 24-for-36.
In the third quarter, the Nets started to chip away. A Joe Johnson three-pointer made it 70-50 Knicks 3:38 into the third. On the next possession, off a J.R. Smith miss, Raymond Felton went up for the rebound in the lane and landed hard on his shoulder. It was a scary few moments as Felton lay motionless on the court. He would leave the game and returned in the fourth quarter to a nice ovation. Felton said of the injury after the game, "Very sore, I'll be alright...I got hit a couple of times coming off of some screens but that fall put the icing on the cake."
The Nets cut the deficit to 15, at 72-57, on Paul Pierce free throws with 3:37 left in the third. This was the kind of night that just when the Nets started to have momentum, it would be halted. On the very next possession, Pierce was called for a flagrant foul on a shot by Shumpert on the baseline. This was a tough, somewhat unfair call, as Pierce reached his arm forward in an attempt to block the ball, not to hit Shumpert in the face. Shumpert hit his two free throws, and that started a run in which the Knicks put the game away, taking an 82-61 lead into the fourth. The Knicks' biggest lead was 33 in the fourth when a Jeremy Tyler jumper made it 103-70.
Carmelo Anthony, who had 23 points and 10 rebounds for his 22nd double double of the season, said of the win, "Tim (Hardaway, Jr.), Iman (Shumpert), J.R. Smith started the game off hot. Amar'e (Stoudemire)...we wanted to take advantage of that. Everyone played a big part. Everyone played their role and contributed and we got a big win tonight."
Knicks Head Coach Mike Woodson said of the win tonight, "Our guys are hungry. Normally anybody comes off the Wast Coast...that game getting back is a tough game. Our guys came out with energy and ready to play. It was a 48-minute performance tonight and we will need that the rest of the way."
Nets Head Coach Jason Kidd said of the loss, "It happens. It is the schedule. We played last night and we came out sluggish. You have to give New York credit...they won the game." Kidd continued, "They made shots. We will go back and look at it and get ready for Detroit (Friday night in Brooklyn)."
With the win, the Knicks' 12th in their last 15 games, New York is now in the 8th playoff spot, percentage points ahead of the Atlanta Hawks, who lost to the Chicago Bulls. The Knicks are 33-43 with a .434 winning percentage, and Atlanta is 32-42 with a .432 winning percentage.
Woodson said of the playoff race, "Anything is possible. I have never given up hope in terms of our team and the direction where we could go and should be. As a coach you keep pushing buttons and find the right buttons. That is my job as a coach and our players have responded. They want to get to the playoffs...that shows a lot about our locker room."
IN MEMORIAM: Marcus Henry, a Newsday sports writer who covered the Nets, Knicks, and college basketball, passed away on Wednesday at the age of 41. Marcus always had a smile on his face and was one of the friendliest guys in the press box. He will be missed.

It's almost that time of the year when hip-hop magazine XXL crowns the newest crop of lauded MCs for its annual "Freshmen" cover .
One on-the-rise upstart who won't be gracing the front of the magazine, however, is Vado.
Cam'ron said his protégé is passing on the opportunity.
"To be honest, he's not gonna be on there," Cam told DJ Drama on satellite radio station Shade 45. "It ain't definite yet. But I spoke to [XXL's editor in chief] … She called me about doing it. They didn't put him on last year, they wanted him on this year … so I told the lady at XXL I'd get back to her.
"If Vado does do the cover for XXL, I want him to be a main focus. I'm not trying to be an a–hole, like 'it's us or nothing,'
[but] my man put a lot of work in last year. I'm not saying that the other people that's coming up shouldn't be on the cover either, I'm just saying give him a little focus on the cover. She said she didn't know if she could, and I understand that."
XXL editor Vanessa Satten didn't respond to a request for comment.
The Slime Flu MC won't join the list of past XXL frosh picks, including Asher Roth, Wiz Khalifa and B.o.B. Lil Wayne protégés Drake and Nicki Minaj declined the 10 Freshmen for 2010 issue, also saying the offer came a year too late.
According to Cam'ron, the Harlem MC will instead appear on the cover of rival rap mag The Source soon along with Cam and Jim Jones.
The rapper said The Source cover story was negotiated by Alan Grunblatt, president of E1 Music, the recording home of Cam and Vado's upcoming joint effort Gunz N' Butta and Jones' Capo.
A representative for The Source would not confirm the Cam'ron, Vado and Jim Jones cover as of press time.
Do you think XXL should have recognized Vado last year?

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — A Republican congressional candidate in Indianapolis said his campaign manager resigned after making disparaging comments about gays, Muslims and others on a social networking site.
Ind. campaign manager resigns over anti-gay tweets
GOP candidate and Butler University professor Marvin Scott said Tuesday that he knew Stan Solomon had controversial ideas because he once hosted a radio talk show, but he said he didn't know Solomon was making such offensive comments on Twitter.
"I didn't know anything about it," said Scott, an underdog in the race against Democrat Rep. Andre Carson in the heavily Democratic 7th District. "I don't know Twitter from litter."
Scott said he disapproves of Solomon's comments and said Solomon was an unpaid volunteer. Scott, who won the May primary but was not the candidate supported by the local Republican Party, said he would be able to better vet his staff if his low-budget campaign had more money.
"I never would have suspected," Scott told The Associated Press. "I can be fooled. I'm a human."
"When you have volunteers, they come with all different axes to grind."
Solomon's recent tweets include "Gay stands for Got AIDS Yet," ''Islam is the enemy you fools" and "Time to hurt these anti war sickos." He also used the N-word (both Carson and Scott are black), called Carson a radical Muslim socialist, said Islam is evil and disgusting and said it was time to burn and "nuke" the Muslim holy cities of Mecca and Medina.
Solomon declined to comment to The Associated Press Tuesday.
Solomon's comments became an issue after The Bilerico Project, a blog focusing on gay issues, reported the tweets Monday and called on Scott to fire Solomon. The Indiana Stonewall Democrats also called for Scott to end his relationship with Solomon, saying they were "dismayed at the horribly xenophobic and homophobic comments."

I finally muscled the courage to buy these irons and I can tell you they are wonderful. The feeling of the forged head is great, so soft off the club face. I was worried if i couldn't handle how bladey the short irons were. You do need to be able to strike the ball well because they don't offer a ton of forgiveness, all the clubs look great at address. Overall, I couldn't be much happier.
I just received my "Excellent" condition VR Froged Pro Combo irons. I would venture to guess they've seen no more than 3-rounds of golf. Though there are a few dings on some clubs that I would have thought to downgrade this from Excellent (which is supposedly near-Mint) to Very Good. I'm not griping, just saying... The faces are in Excellent shape so I guess that's what really matters. Some practice shots with the 5-iron, 9-iron and PW were very nice. The 5-iron with the "Shot Making Gel" was really impressive. Well balanced with great distance and feel. The 9-iron and PW, though, are incredible. Very accurate and feel amazing on solid contact shots, while also providing great feedback on mishits (you can feel "where" on the club face the ball made contact).These are a great upgrade from my 16-year old Mizuno knock-offs (JZ-222).
These are very easy to hit forged clubs. I hurt my back and had to get something to accommodate a slower swing speed. The technology in these clubs make these clubs easy to hit with almost the feel of a traditional forged blade/muscle back iron. I had been using Mizuno muscle back blades which have a nicer feel but smaller sweet spot and required more club head speed. I also tried some of the sole slotted irons. The Nike clubs don't go as far as the cast sole slotted irons, the feel is much better and the offset almost matches a blade - preferable if you hook.
love nike clubs. great feel and accuracy.
Super great shape. Love them you have my business for a long time!!!

Tzivia has posted a wonderful Havel Havelim, just thing for this week. Take a look at all the blog posts, comment and share. There are some wonderful posts.
Blog carnival has been "down" for quite a bit already. I don't know if it'll be back. That means that our communications are via our facebook page and emails to me, shilohmuse at gmail dot com. From previous experience I know that many Jewish bloggers read and post less during the season of now until after Passover, so I'll play it by ear. If someone wants to host for any which, either or both of the next two weeks, please let me and the facebook group know. Otherwise I'll do what I can to host at some point when/if I have time. So if you've posted or read something that suits Havel Havelim, the long-running international Jewish bloggers carnival, please send me the link, thanks.
There's also the monthly Kosher Cooking Carnival, which I also coordinate. It also has a facebook page and the same problem with blog carnival.
Shavua Tov
Have a wonderful, safe and healthy week!
PS May G-d help the Jerusalem Big Blue Lions to a safe and uninjured victory this coming Friday.

Summer magic
To me, the essentials of summer magic are the elements that transcend the material things - slowing down and basking not only in the sun, but also in the warmth of well-loved company. And when, at the end of a long summer's day, you have to go indoors, it's about returning to a comfortable, enduring space you love, that, like all good things, just gets better with age.

You have to learn to make time to have fun because you have to stay so focused on doing homework and meeting deadlines. I learned educationally as well.

Hola!! Live in the forgotten borough called Staten Island, lived here most of my life and would still trade it for another borough lol. Born in India, grew up mostly in the US. I work in midtown for an IT firm, been there for a while and enjoy my job a lot (i seriously do). I love music which is just about anything that's got a good a rhythm and beat, enjoy spending time with friends and family, traveling is my favorite, trying new restaurants and of course living life to the fullest.

MELBOURNE, Aug 13: Olympic sprint star Usain Bolt told Australian media on Sunday that he's considering an offer from former Test leg-spinner Shane Warne to play Twenty20 cricket in Australia next season.
The Melbourne Stars franchise, for which Warne is the marquee player, confirmed it has opened negotiations with Bolt through his management company about playing in the Big Bash League.
Bolt, who defended his 100 and 200-meter titles in London to take his Olympics gold medal tally to six, played junior cricket in Jamaica and has expressed a love for the sport.
In an interview with Channel Nine, Australia's Olympic broadcaster, Bolt said: "If I get the chance I will definitely try because I know it's going to be a lot of fun. I don't know how good I am. I will probably have to get a lot of practice in."
The Big Bash League involves eight teams comprising international cricket stars and local players, and will run from Dec 7 to Jan 9.
West Indies captain Chris Gayle is the league's leading scorer and star attraction.
Bolt, who says he is an all-rounder, is a close friend of Gayle and famously bowled him and hit a six off Gayle's bowling in a charity match in 2009.
Melbourne Stars president Eddie McGuire, a broadcaster with the Australian television network Foxtel, first raised the prospect of Bolt playing for the Stars in an interview with the sprinter at the London Games. Warne then followed up that approach with a more formal offer.
"He (Warne) contacted me and asked me about if I am serious and if I really want to do it then he can put in a few words that should get it done," Bolt told Channel Nine.
"So we will see if I get the time off. I will try.
"Twenty20, I love it. Just the fact that it is so exciting, it's about going hard the whole time, not just about playing shots. It's about being aggressive and I like that style of batsman."
Stars chief executive Clint Cooper said the franchise will continue its talks with Bolt when he has time to consider other things.
"We're going to wait until the Olympics is over and re-engage with him and his management company," Cooper said. "We've got a couple of spots left on our (team) list."—AP

This application is a divisional of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/477,249, filed Jan. 3, 2000 now U.S. Pat. No. 6,291,858.
The present invention relates to multistack 3-dimensional semiconductor structures. In addition, the present invention relates to a method for fabricating the multistack 3-dimensional semiconductor structures. According to the present invention, active devices are formed on a semiconductor substrate followed by adhering a second semiconductor layer above the active devices and then building active devices on this additional semiconductor layer. The present invention makes it possible to obtain improvements in function, density and performance as compared to multistack devices previously suggested.
Planar technology is principally used currently for fabricating semiconductor surfaces. The level of integration that can be achieved on a semiconductor chip is limited by the size of the chip and by the structural fineness that is obtainable. The performance of a system which is realized using planar technology and which comprises a plurality of chips connected to one another is restricted by the number of possible connections between individual chips via connection contacts, the signal transmission speed that can be achieved via such connections (the so-called frequency performance) and also by the power consumption.
In order to overcome these restrictions, three-dimensional circuit arrangements have been suggested. In such arrangement, a plurality of chip planes are arranged one above the other in the third-dimensional circuit arrangements. The necessary electrical connections between the chip planes are produced by making direct contact.
For example, it has been suggested for producing three-dimensional integrated circuits, to deposit a further semiconductor layer on a substrate in which a plane of components has been produced. The semiconductor layer is recrystallized for instance by laser annealing. A further component plane is then realized in the recrystallized layer. The components produced in the substrate prior to the deposition of the further semiconductor are exposed during the recrystallization step to the thermal loading associated with the laser annealing, which leads to a very limited yield for the chips due to large numbers of defects which typically occur.
It has also been suggested to produce a three-dimensional integrated circuit by first producing the individual component planes separately from one another in different substrates. The substrates are then thinned to a few microns in thickness and are connected to one another with the aid of the wafer bonding method. For the electrical connection of the various component planes, the thin substrates are provided on their front and rear sides with contacts for subsequent interchip connections. This has the disadvantage that the thinned wafers have to be processed on both the front and rear sides. However, rear side processes are not provided in the standard planar technology. A number of handling problems remain unsolved in connection with this method. A further disadvantage of this particular method is that the functionality of the individual component planes cannot easily be tested before they are joined together, since individual components, but not completed circuits, are produced in each individual plane.
In addition, there have been suggestions for fabricating three-dimensional devices by creating the desired devices on individual semiconductor wafers prior to bonding them together to form the multilevel device. However, a major problem associated with this approach is that very precise alignment is required between the chips since the chips have already been built and are complete prior to the bonding. It is not entirely apparent how this precision alignment can be achieved on a practical basis. Furthermore, these processes require substantial thinning of one of the wafers by grinding or etching on the back side such as from a thickness of about 10-20 mils down to about 5 microns. This is an extremely different procedure to carry out. Moreover, great difficulties exist in controlling the thickness uniformity.
Accordingly, it would be desirable to provide three-dimensional multilayer devices that did not require the precise alignment as mentioned above.
The present invention provides for a multistack three-dimensional semiconductor structure that does not require the precision alignment of prior art devices. Moreover, the multistack three-dimensional semiconductor structures of the present invention make possible improvements in function, density and performance of the devices.
More particularly, the present invention relates to a multistack three-dimensional semiconductor structure that comprises a first level structure comprising a semiconductor substrate and first active devices. A second level structure comprising a SOI semiconductor structure is bonded to the first level structure and further comprises second active devices. The first active devices according to the present invention are more heat tolerant in device design than the second active devices.
In addition, the present invention relates to a method for fabricating a multistack three-dimensional semiconductor structure. The method comprises providing a first level structure comprising a semiconductor substrate and first active devices. A layer of insulation is provided on the first level structure and electrical interconnections are provided to connect selected portions of the first level structure to subsequently to be provided second level structure.
A second semiconductor structure is bonded on top of the insulating layer. The thickness of the semiconductor structure is reduced followed by forming second active devices on the semiconductor structure. The first active devices are more heat tolerant in device design than the second active devices. Electrical connections are created between the first level structure and second active devices.
The present invention also relates to semiconductor devices obtained by the above-described process.
Still other objects and advantages of the present invention will become readily apparent by those skilled in the art from the following detailed description, wherein it is shown and described preferred embodiments of the invention, simply by way of illustration of the best mode contemplated of carrying out the invention. As will be realized the invention is capable of other and different embodiments, and its several details are capable of modifications in various obvious respects, without departing from the invention. Accordingly, the description is to be regarded as illustrative in nature and not as restrictive.
The foregoing and other objects, aspects and advantages of the present invention will be better understood from the following detailed description of the present invention with reference to the drawings in which:
FIGS. 1-6 are schematic diagrams of a structure in accordance with the present invention in various stages of the process according to an embodiment of the present invention.
In order to facilitate an understanding of the present invention, reference may be made to the figures which illustrate a diagrammatic representation of the steps of an embodiment according to the present invention.
According to the present invention, a first semiconductor substrate 1 is provided. The semiconductor substrate is typically monocrystalline silicon or a SOI substrate (silicon on insulator substrate) as illustrated in FIG. 1. The SOI substrate comprises a silicon wafer 2 and an insulating layer 3 provided thereon. The insulating layer 3 can be grown on the substrate 2 or can be provided by deposition techniques such as chemical vapor deposition (CVD) or physical vapor deposition (PVD). Also, the insulating layer 3 can be provided by thermal oxidation of the substrate 2 to provide a silicon dioxide or insulating layer 3 can be provided by SIMOX or other well known methods of making SOI. Typically, this layer 3 is about 1000 to about 5000 Å thick and preferably about 1500 Å to about 2500 Å thick. A thin silicon layer 4 is provided on the insulating layer 3. This layer 4 is typically about 500 Å to about 4000 Å thick and preferably about 1000 Å to about 2000 Å thick. Active devices are created on the silicon substrate 4 by well known techniques. These active devices provided must have high thermal tolerance since they will be subjected to subsequent thermal cycling during the remaining fabrication of the device and as such are less sensitive to thermal processing as compared to the devices that are to be created in the second subsequent level such as having dopant profiles which are not as shallow as those in devices in the second level. Such devices can include resistors, capacitors, diodes and transistors, and other devices with relatively large thermal budgets.
As illustrated in FIG. 2, an insulating layer 6 is provided on the device substrate 4. Typically, this layer is about 1000 Å to about 20,000 Å thick and preferably is about 1000 to about 10,000 Å thick, and is generally an oxide which can be formed for instance by thermal oxidation of the underlying silicon substrate or by known deposition techniques such as chemical vapor deposition or physical vapor deposition.
Selected portions of the insulating layer 6 are removed by etching in a predetermined pattern such as using reactive ion etching for providing vias therein for subsequent interconnections. Next, a conductive material such as doped polycrystalline silicon is deposited followed by chemical mechanical polishing to remove the polycrystalline from the top of the insulating layer 6 and to leave polycrystalline silicon in the vias to provide for local interconnection 11 of the non-critical devices and to provide for subsequent electrical interconnection 12 to the upper level to be provided. Furthermore, if alignment marks are needed, such can be opened by conventional lithography and reactive ion etching.
As illustrated in FIG. 3, a further insulating layer 8 is provided such as by chemical vapor deposition or physical vapor deposition. This insulating layer is typically about 50 Å to about 5000 Å thick and preferably about 100 Å to about 500 Å thick.
Next, a second semiconductor substrate 9 such as monocrystalline silicon is bonded to the insulating layer using Vander Walls force as described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,374,564. The second substrate is then thinned using binding or etching but preferably using a procedure referred to as "Smart Cut" or similar procedure such as SiGEN's PIII SOI process. A disclosure of Smart Cut processes can be found in Auberton-Herve, SOI: Materials to Systems, IDEM96-3210; U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,374,564 and 5,882,987, disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference. Such process involves subjecting the silicon substrate 9 to ion implantation such as H+at a depth creating layer of gaseous microbubbles separated from a relatively thin upper region. In place of or in addition to hydrogen ions, rare gas ions can also be employed. After the silicon substrate is bonded to the oxide layer as discussed above, the substrate is subjected to thermal treatment at a temperature above that at which the ion bombardment took place and which thermal treatment creates a crystalline rearrangement in the wafer and pressure effect which causes separation between the thin film portion which is bonded to the insulating layer and the majority of the substrate. If desired, the device can be subjected to additional chemical mechanical polishing to planarize the second silicon layer 9. The thickness if typically about 500 Å to about 2500 Å.
Next, as illustrated in FIG. 4, the high performance devices are created on the thin silicon layer 9 by well known techniques. Another insulating layer 10 such as silicon oxide and or silicon nitride is deposited such as by chemical vapor deposition. This layer is typically about 5000 Å to about 15,000 Å thick and preferably about 7000 to about 12,000 Å thick.
As illustrated in FIG. 5, active devices from the second level structure are connected to the first level interconnection pads. This is achieved by known photolithographic techniques. For example selected portions of the silicon substrate 9 and insulating layers 10 and 8 can be removed down to the first level interconnection pads 12 by employing conventional techniques such as providing a radiation sensitive photoresist material (not shown) and then patterning it to the desired structure. The patterned resist acts as a mask for removing selected portions of the insulating layers and thin silicon layers. These can be removed by reactive ion etching. The photoresist after patterning is then removed such as by dissolving in a suitable solvent. After removal of portions of the insulating layers 8 and 10 and silicon layer 9, a conductive material 13 such as doped polycrystalline silicon or a metallic silicide is deposited in the via and on top of insulating layer 10. The material on top of the insulating layer 10 is removed by chemical mechanical polishing to provide a planar structure as illustrated in FIG. 5.
FIG. 6 illustrates providing the back end of the line (BEOL) 14 process to connect devices to complete the chip functionality.
The foregoing description of the invention illustrates and describes the present invention. Additionally, the disclosure shows and describes only the preferred embodiments of the invention but, as mentioned above, it is to be understood that the invention is capable of use in various other combinations, modifications, and environments and is capable of changes or modifications within the scope of the inventive concept as expressed herein, commensurate with the above teachings and/or the skill or knowledge of the relevant art. The embodiments described hereinabove are further intended to explain best modes known of practicing the invention and to enable others skilled in the art to utilize the invention in such, or other, embodiments and with the various modifications required by the particular applications or uses of the invention. Accordingly, the description is not intended to limit the invention to the form disclosed herein. Also, it is intended that the appended claims be construed to include alternative embodiments.
