41 year old woman | Hollywood, FL, USA | Seeking men 32-43 within 30 miles of Miramar, FL
The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances; if there is any reaction, both are transformed.
My ideal match would be someone whom is pretty much open to anything. Whether it be going out and being social or just enjoying each other's company doing something simple. It all depends on what the mood is as long as the company's good. I know somewhere out there exists a man who's ready to settle down with a partner, who wants a family and does't mind helping to raise my lil ones, who's faithful and can share everything about himself... I love being with a man who is confident, funny and comfortable in his own skin.. I really appreciate when there's a connection and we spend the next days doing nothing but thinking of each other, like teenagers, lol. Actions speak so much louder than words... I don't juggle, when someone catches my genuine interest, I focus on him and him alone. I expect the same courtesy. Anyone with drama or psycho issues, please keep it movin, especially if you're dumber than a box of rocks, please spare me the torture! I have twin daughters who are ten. One dances for her studio's competition team, the other studies Jiu Jitsu. They are the two most amazing little ones I know and am so blessed to be their mom, to share in their wonder and curiosity. I believe that people come and go in our lives for a reason, some share more than others, but nonetheless, we become connected. Whether it's to help you through something or to learn from that person, either way, the ones that matter always leave an impression and help make us who we are.

A ROM array comprises orthogal sets of buried bit lines and polysilicon wordlines. The buried bit lines comprise trenches with insulating material on the side walls, the trenches then being filled with polysilicon. This reduces bit line sheet resistance and increases the punch-through voltage between adjacent bit lines.
1. A method for forming a buried bit line for a memory array, comprising the steps of:
(a) forming a trench having side walls in a semiconductor substrate of a first conductivity type;
(b) depositing dielectric material in the trench;
(c) removing a portion of the dielectric material so a top portion of the trench side walls is exposed; and
(d) creating a dopant source, having an opposite conductivity of the first conductivity type, in the trench for contacting the exposed portion of the sidewall; and
(e) diffusing dopant from the dopant source into the substrate through the exposed top portion of the sidewall to form a bitline.
2. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of:
depositing an oxide layer and a polysilicon layer on top of the trench.
3. The method of claim 1, further comprising the steps of:
(a) after depositing a dielectric material in the trench, partially filling the trench to a predetermined level with SOG; and
(b) the step of removing a portion of the dielectric material includes exposing the sidewalls above said predetermined level.
The present invention relates to a buried bit line ROM with a low bit line sheet resistance and a high punch-through voltage and a process for making such a ROM.
As the memory density of a ROM increases, the cell dimensions decrease, resulting in high sheet resistance (Rs) of buried bit lines in the ROM. This is because a decrease in cell dimension causes a decreased width in the bit line which increases bit line sheet resistance. The reduced spacing between the bit lines also results in an unacceptably low punch-through voltage between adjacent bit lines.
FIG. 1 illustrates a buried bit line ROM 20. The ROM 20, for illustrative purposes, comprises a P-type silicon substrate 21. Of course, the ROM could alternatively have an N-type substrate. In this example, a plurality of N+- type buried bit lines 22 are formed in the ROM 20. Each bit line 22 has a width W and the spacing, or channel, between adjacent bit lines has a length S. A plurality of polysilicon word lines 24 are also formed on the surface of the substrate 21. The ROM 20 comprises a plurality of cells. One such cell 30 is shown in dashed lines in FIG. 1. A cross-sectional view of cell 30 of FIG. 1 taken along the line AA' is shown in FIG. 2.
As seen in FIG. 2, the cell 30 comprises two adjacent buried bit lines 22 which form source and drain regions for the cell. A channel 32 of length S is formed between the two bit lines in the cell 30. A gate oxide layer 36, 37 is formed on top of the substrate 11. The oxide layer is thicker at portions 36 located above the bit lines 22 and thinner at portion 37 located above the channel 32. The thick oxide layer portions 36 are known as field oxide (FOX) regions and the thinner layer portions 37 are known as gate oxide regions. A polysilicon word line 24 is formed over the gate oxide layer 36.
As indicated above, when the bit line width W is too small, the bit line sheet resistance is unacceptably high. In addition, when the bit line spacing S, or channel, is too small, the punch-through voltage between adjacent bit lines is unacceptably low.
Co-pending application Ser. No. 08/092,189 filed on Jul. 14, 1993 and now U.S. Pat. No. 5,430,673 to the same inventors and assigned to the same assignee discloses a buried bit line ROM with low bit line resistance. That memory device and method for making it relate to a memory cell having either the source or drain at the sides and bottom of a trench. Thus, each trench forms either a single source or drain. Also, the fabrication process for the device disclosed therein is different than the process disclosed below.
A buried bit line memory device is also disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,912,535 to Okumura. Okumura discloses a RAM type memory cell having a diffusion region on one side of a trench.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a buried bit line structure and a method for making a buried bit line structure which eliminates the sheet resistance and punch-through voltage problems in high density buried bit line ROMs having small bit line width and spacing.
The present invention uses a trench filled either with polysilicon or spin-on-glass (SOG) and polysilicon to form the buried bit lines in a ROM. This reduces bit line resistance and increases punch-through voltage.
FIG. 1 illustrates a conventional buried bit line ROM array;
FIG. 2 illustrates a cross-sectional view of one ROM cell in the array of FIG. 1;
FIGS. 3-10 illustrate one method of fabricating buried bit lines according to the present invention; and
FIGS. 11-14 illustrate a second method of formulating buried bit lines according to the present invention.
FIGS. 3-10 illustrate one method for forming a memory cell having buried bit lines in accordance with the present invention.
As seen in FIG. 3, the starting point is a silicon substrate 21 which illustratively is of P-type and is doped with boron atoms. The substrate has a dopant concentration of about 1.0 E15/cm3. A dielectric layer 50, for example a silicon nitride layer (Si3 N4), preferably having a thickness of about 1000 Ångstroms, is deposited on top of the substrate 21.
A layer of photo-resist is then deposited on top of the first insulation layer 50. The photo-resist layer is patterned to form photo-resist stripe portions 52, which stripes are separated by the openings 54, which leave portions of the insulation layer 50 exposed.
Using the photo-resist stripes 52 as a mask, the portions of the insulation layer 50 exposed by the opening 54 and the underlying substrate 21 are etched using a dry etch to a predetermined depth, preferably 1 micron. The photo-resist portions 52 are then removed. The resulting trenches 56 are seen in FIG. 4.
A dielectric, such as SiO2, is then deposited or thermally oxidized on the exposed surfaces, including the side walls and bottom of the trenches 56, forming a second dielectric layer 58, preferably having a thickness between 500˜2000 Ångstroms.
As seen is FIG. 5, the trenches are filled with a first polysilicon material (poly 1) 60. The poly 1 material 60 is doped to be the opposite conductivity of the substrate 21, in this example, to be N+ type. The doping can be accomplished using POCl3 at 800�˜950� C. for 10-30 minutes. Alternatively, arsenic atoms can be implanted using ion implantation at 50 KeV with a dose of 1�1015 /cm2 -1�1016 /cm2. As seen in FIG. 6, after the poly 1 material 60 is doped, it is etched back to expose an upper portion 61 of the dielectric-covered trench walls. Next, as seen in FIG. 7, the exposed dielectric layer 58 is etched back. The buried strap depth B, preferably 0.05-0.2 microns, is controlled by the etch back depth of the polysilicon trench 60 fill and the removal of the exposed insulator 58.
As seen in FIG. 8, the unfilled portion of the trench is filled with a second layer of polysilicon (poly 2) 62. This layer 62 is heavily doped to be the opposite conductivity of the substrate 21, in this example to be N+ type. The doping can be accomplished using POCl3. Alternatively, As or phosphorus ions may be implanted using ion implantation. The poly 2 layer 62 is then etched back or CMP (chemical mechanical polished) back.
The heavily doped poly 2 layer 62 is the source of dopant (or impurities) which diffuse by side diffusion, and in this example N+ side diffusion, through the portions of the trench wall not having an insulation layer 58. This side diffusion forms regions 64 and 66 in the two bit lines in the cell 30. Regions 64 and 66, along with region 62 to which each is electrically connected, form the source and drain regions, of the memory cell 30. Thus, the source is formed by one set of regions either 64 and 62, or 66 and 62 of one bit line 22 and the drain is formed by another set of regions either 64 and 62, or 66 and 62 of an adjacent bit line 22. The spacing, or channel, S is the distance between the bit lines, that is, the distance between region 64 and region 66.
As seen in FIG. 9, the remainder of the first insulation layer 50 is etched off and an oxide layer is then thermally grown on the substrate 21. The oxide layer preferably has a thickness of 100-200 Ångstroms at the gate oxide region 37 and a thickness of 200-500 Ångstroms at the oxide region 36. On top of the oxide layer 36, 37 is formed the polysilicon word line 24.
As seen in FIG. 10, a layer of photoresist 68 is positioned on top of the polysilicon word line 24 to mask the device for ROM coding. The ROM code implant is performed in any well known conventional manner. For example, it can be performed by ion implantation at 50 KeV, with a dose of dopant being, for example, boron at 150 KeV and 1�1014 /cm2.
The photoresist layer 68 is removed. The rest of the processes for completing the ROM array are entirely conventional back-end processes including BPSG, contacts, metallization, and ROM coding.
FIGS. 11-14 illustrate a second method for forming a memory cell having buried bit lines in accordance with the present invention. These steps replace those disclosed in FIGS. 5-9. Beginning with the structure shown in FIG. 4, the trench is partially filled with a deposition of spin-on-glass (SOG) 70. FIG. 12 shows an anisotropic over-etch of the SiO2 using plasma etch with F2 -based or Cl2 -based gases.
As seen in FIG. 13, after the second dielectric layer 58 etch, the trenches are filled with a first layer of polysilicon 72 (poly 1'). Before the poly 1' layer 72 is deposited in the trench, the SOG can optionally be etched off by BOE (buffer HF oxide etch). The poly 1' material is doped to the opposite conductivity of the substrate 21, in this example to be N+ type. This doping is performed in the same way as the doping described for the polysilicon material 60, described above. Side diffusion, in this example N+ side diffusion, for the portions of the trench wall not having an insulation layer 58 is utilized in the regions 64' and 66' of each of two bit lines in the cell 30, along with region 72 to which they are each electrically connected, form the source and drain regions of the memory cell 30. Thus, the source is formed by one set of regions 64'/72, or 66'/72 of one bit line 22 and the drain is formed by another set of regions 64'/72, or 66'/72 of an adjacent bit line 22.
As seen in FIG. 14, the first insulation layer 50 is etched off and a oxidation layer 36, 37 is then formed on substrate 21. The polysilicon word line 24 is then formed on top of the oxide layer 36. This layer is heavily doped to the opposite conductivity as the substrate 21 and etched to the appropriate pattern. The remainder of the process is performed as described in relation to FIG. 10.
The buried bit lines formed by either of the above described poly trench methods result in low bit line sheet resistance and good bit line-to-bit line punch-through voltage. Therefore, the bit line pitch (bit line width plus spacing between adjacent bit lines) can be reduced for a high density ROM array.
The above described embodiments of the invention are intended to be illustrative only. Numerous alternative embodiments may be devised by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the following claims.

Alcibiades (ca. 450 BC-ca. 404 BC), was the charismatic and controversial bisexual Athenian general and politician who promoted the Peloponnesian war against rival Sparta, who subsequently inspired Athens's failed Sicilian Expedition, and who later allied himself with two of Athens's biggest enemies: Sparta and Persia. His actions gravely affected the future of Athens and his motives and reasons for acting as he did are indeed the stuff of fascinating biography.Alcibiades's extraordinary beauty, great wealth, ostentatious vanity, male and female amours, debaucheries, and impious revels earned him notoriety not only in Athens but throughout the Hellenic world. In subsequent ages his name was used as a near by-word for all kinds of excess. But, as Benson argues, reappraising Alcibiades's reputation, great as were his vices, his virtues were even greater ...Although The Life of Alcibiades was originally published in 1928, and there have been other newer detailed works published on Alcibiades since then, no other work captures the passion and the excitement of the brilliant but erratic career of Alcibiades as Benson's biography does. As the reader will discover, Benson evidently has much sympathy for his subject and this brings the entire biography to life. He combines detailed research, especially his use of primary materials from Thucydides and Plutarch, with writing flare, not an easy accomplishment.Front cover photograph: "Alcibiades", Ideal Male Portrait. Marble. Roman copy after a Greek original of the 4th century BC. Palazzo dei Conservatori, Hall of the Triumphs. Back cover photograph: E. F. Benson, aged 26.

She just wasn't sure what she wanted to study. Following high school, Elyse participated in a volunteer community service and leadership building program in the South Pacific. She was the accountant for her group and as it turned out, she discovered her future college major. When she returned home to Antioch, Ill., Elyse attended a community college and began exploring the accounting profession through an internship. She discovered that most of her coworkers were NIU alumni. Soon after, Elyse enrolled in accountancy classes at the College of Business. She began her second internship in January of 2014 at KPMG in New York City, and she feels NIU helped prepare her for the opportunity. "The professors draw from their experiences in the field and bring realworld examples into their teaching lessons." Elyse said.

It helps to be involved and engaged in as much as possible. I'm very glad I came here. I love NIU and the Huskie spirit." Tony Roberts is a biomedical engineering student from Chicago. He transferred to NIU because he wanted to study at one of the best engineering schools in the region. What he didn't expect is the number of opportunities he would encounter that would help him grow as a student, a person and a leader.

And you thought Sarah was old when she gave birth to Isaac.
Sure, she was a nonagenarian, but they lived a lot longer in those days. And God had foretold her pregnancy. Not sure if there was a divine hand working nine months ago when an Israeli couple got pregnant. What makes it so surprising is that the woman, who just gave birth to her first child, is 60.
As Debra Nussbaum-Cohen writes, "Oy."
She continues:
Now, this couple had been trying to conceive, and undergoing fertility treatments, for 40 years. That's a long time to put your body and soul through such procedures. They apparently had this baby boy with the help of a donor egg.
Fertility treatments raise some interesting halachic issues, an introduction to which can be read here.
But I understand the deep desire to have a child (we have three of our own and, if we could have afforded more day school tuition and larger housing, might have had more). Added to the internal, one might say biological drive that most of us feel, this fervently Orthodox couple had the religious imperative to "be fruitful and multiply" driving their effort.

Perhaps it was the full moon Jan. 29 that turned the visiting 10th-ranked Wheat Ridge Farmers into a pack of snarling wolves.
Perhaps it was really Conifer's fault, as the rival Lobos had roughed up the Farmers three days prior, making them particularly focused when they arrived in town.
Or just blame the basketball, which seemed to like Evergreen's basket about as much as Jon loves Kate.
Dreary cold January has just about dragged itself to an end. I hope February is a better month. Even though it is still winter, February usually has more sunshine, which always lifts everyone's spirits and makes them feel like spring is coming someday.
In arguably their biggest game of the season not involving rival Conifer, the Evergreen Cougars went with an unexpected game plan Jan. 22 against the Golden Demons.
Competitive napping.
And the Cougars were good at it. Far better than the Demons, as Golden strolled past Evergreen in the final minute for a key 49-45 Class 4A Jefferson County League victory.
Lexie Malazdrewicz has potential as long as her name.
The Evergreen freshman already has enough low times to raise expectations, but she's thinking more of the big picture. Winning a state title is a goal, but her current concerns are helping her team.
"It's a lot more different than club, for sure," Malazdrewicz said of varsity swimming. "Everyone is so friendly. Everyone is so team oriented and wants to do everything for the team, which is nice."
Feb. 2 is Groundhog Day, a day that doesn't have much significance here, but it does in the Northeastern states, especially Pennsylvania, where it started.
The myth is that if the groundhog comes out of his winter hibernation on Feb. 2 and sees his shadow, he is frightened and goes back to sleep for six more weeks. But if it is a cloudy day and he does not see his shadow, he will stay awake and spring will come early.
January is flying by with severely cold weather.
January is the coldest month of the year, according to the National Weather Service, and it certainly has been this winter. Many nights have been well below zero, and the wind-chill factor has made some of them feel as cold as 20 below.
The Evergreen Invitational was back in its former glory Jan. 16.
Podium glory, however, eluded the home team.
Due in part to the cancellation of Conifer's tournament, the annual Evergreen Invitational grew to 21 teams as coach Lane Williams welcomed in some of the teams that were left without a place to wrestle.
More teams meant more wrestlers for the first time in several years. But it also meant more competition and deeper brackets that almost all had multiple state placers lurking.
Nothing helps a team get over a tough loss to a division rival better than beating up on another division rival in their home gym.
For the Evergreen Cougars, it was nice to get the bitter taste of defeat out of their system as the beat up on Jeffco 4A League foe D'Evelyn 54-43 on Jan. 12.
The Cougars (9-3), coming off a tough loss at home to Conifer, used their defense to shut down the unconventional Jaguar offense and also used their size to gain an advantage on offense and on the boards.
LITTLETON - In football, they call it "hearing footsteps."
That's when a player feels the other player closing in and is faced with the prospect of either being outdone or making the necessary play.
Evergreen senior Carrie Latimer heard footsteps Jan. 8, albeit from feet flapping underwater at the Edge rec center.
The Evergreen Cougars are out to prove that they are going to be a force in the Jeffco 4A League this year.
They took one step closer to proving that on Jan. 8 as they drubbed the visiting Conifer Lobos 70-51 to move to 2-0 in league play and 7-3 overall.

Originally written on Fox Soccer | Last updated 2/13/13
Sir Alex Ferguson has admitted Cristiano Ronaldo is a better player now than when he left Manchester United . Four years after United pocketed a world-record £80million from Real Madrid for the Portugal superstar, they find Ronaldo standing between them and Champions League progress. The Red Devils have every right to be fearful. After all, Ronaldo contributed an incredible 42 goals to United's Champions League-winning campaign in 2008. And he has improved at Real. "Cristiano is a better player than when he left us because of his maturity," said Ferguson. "He is at the peak of his career now. "He was still a young man when he left and you can see how he has flourished in Madrid. "His fitness, speed, goals - and he's never injured. That is unique in the modern game. "I never thought he'd get the amount of goals he's scored. I knew he'd improve. I knew he was one of the best players in the world. But to score the goals he has is phenomenal." Yet Ferguson still feels his squad ...

Assn. for Library Service to Children
It's not always easy to provide "service with a smile." Customers of all moods and personalities make their way into the library and require staff to have an extra dose of patience and fortitude. It helps to know what to look for, how to recognize your own response, and what steps to take if a situation grows tense. Learn how to manage the stress of a difficult moment and still deliver customer service you can be proud of. Originally presented March 20, 2013, as part of the 2013 PLA Virtual Spring Symposium. Running time: 57 minutes.
Children deserve the best in everything, and library service is no different. But what does superior library service to children look like? The ALSC Core Competencies identify the skills, orientations and understandings that children can expect of the dedicated staff in their school and public libraries. We will look at the Core Competencies in depth, applying them to every aspect of our daily work and using them as a framework to define an individual, professional commitment to creating, providing and championing excellent library service for all children.
Join ALSC Membership Chair Amanda Roberson and ALSC Membership Manager Dan Bostrom to talk about ways to get involved with ALSC. Attendees are invited to discuss these topics and their experiences with membership. Learn about what you can do to connect with other members and grow your career.

This course will serve as an introduction for both professional librarians and assistants looking to gain knowledge of the field of prison librarianship. Participants will be challenged as they learn about topics ranging from collection development, budgeting, (sometimes on a shoestring), reference serves, legal materials, technical services, intellectual freedom, working with mental health factors, security, interpersonal communication and programming as it pertains to the correctional field.
Join ALSC for "Balancing Social Media" student session on Monday, September 16, 2013, as we discuss various social media platforms and their use as library marketing tools. We will also discuss your internet presence and how to stay professional at the library and at home.
Parents are faced with ever-expanding media options to share with their children, and many children's librarians are beginning to incorporate apps and eBooks for young children into their collections and programming to satisfy the growing need for reader's advisory in the app space ("Appvisory"). This webinar will explore why and how incorporating digital media into our collections and programming is now an essential part of children's librarianship, and tips and tricks for translating traditional storytelling techniques into the digital realm.

The Ionian Islands region
Kefalonia is the largest of the 7 Ionian islands.
An island that offers breathtaking scenery, fabulous beaches, great history and a destination that people return to time and time again.
The island in recent years has been made more famous due to the best-selling novel "Captains Correlli's Mandolin" which the Hollywood movie starring Nicholas Cage was filmed on the island in 2000.
The island has its own unique geological phenomenon that can be easily discovered with a visit to the underground lake of Melissani.
The island boasts one of the most photographed beaches in all of Greece, Myrtos.
An island that has still plenty of open countryside to enjoy by car or by foot.
Trapezaki beach is one of the best beaches on the island for children due to the shallow waters and clean sand great for making sandcastles.
Trapezaki is part of the Livathos district which covers alot of the south coast. It is a great base for any holidaymaker as it offers peace and tranquillity, local tavernas and mini market within walking distance, but only a short drive away from the capital.
For those wanting to explore the island nowhere is too far away, the furthest north will only take 1 hr 30 mins, to the east 45 mins, to the west 45 mins, and to the southern corner 30 mins. There are lovely local walks that will take you to neighbouring villages in either direction.
Snorkelling is good and private boat hire will allow you to discover some beaches only accessible from the sea.

"Relaxing comfortable clean peaceful, and magnificient views."
This was our first visit to any of the Greek islands ( hopefully not our last), the location is fantastic, just to sit at the pool and take in the views is a delight in its own, Amanda and her children welcomed us on arrival with a nice bottle of the local wine a some fresh eggs from her own hens,the villa is well looked after by Maria, and the pool is kept very clean. Every trip on the island gave us more and more fantastic views, the giant turtles in Argostolia harbour are a must to see, lots of good places to eat , and you must try the local Pita bread wrap.
Thanks again for a very relaxing holiday.
