[0001] 1. Field of the Invention
[0002] The invention relates generally to the field of semiconductor manufacturing. More particularly, the invention relates to semiconductor inspection and measurement.
[0003] 2. Discussion of the Related Art
[0004] Inspection and measurement are important areas of semiconductor manufacturing. Measurement may be defined as the ability to precisely quantify physical, dimensional, or electrical properties of different materials. Numerous measurement tools are routinely used to monitor the quality of semiconductor manufacturing processes. Inspection relates to the ability to observe and quantify defects, and inspection tools include a variety of optical instruments used for these purposes. In sub-micron applications, inspection equipment such as scanning electrical microscopes (SEMs) are widely used.
[0005] As geometries get smaller, the ability to observe defects in wafers and reticles (masks) becomes more challenging and expensive. Existing wafer and reticle inspection tools find defects which can only be disposed when their location is understood. Typically, engineers spend many hours or days attempting to determine the location of defects in order to be able to classify and judge their impact on production yield. Consequently, defects are often disposed without regard to their location but rather only to its size.
[0006] Thus, there is a need for a method and apparatus for defect location, minimizing engineering defect reduction efforts, and improving the forecast of measures such as production yield.
[0007] There is a need for the following embodiments. Of course, the invention is not limited to these embodiments.
[0008] In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, defects in a device under test are located using CAD data for the device under test. An inspection image is provided of a device under test and coordinates of potential defects in the device under test are determined. Then the inspection image is converted into a predetermined image format. CAD data for the device under test is then used to produce a second image, also in the predetermined image format. The CAD-derived image and the device-derived image are then aligned, and the coordinates of potential defects in the wafer are converted into CAD coordinates. The CAD coordinates are then used to navigate through the reticle for the wafer in order to located reticle defects corresponding to the detected wafer defects.
[0009] According to another aspect of the invention, an apparatus includes a stage for holding a wafer under test, an image and defect detection device coupled to the stage for producing an inspection image of the wafer under test and for producing stage coordinates of defects detected in the wafer under test, CAD data for the wafer under test, a control unit coupled to control the stage and the image and defect detection device, and a synchronization unit coupled to the control unit and to the image and defect detection device, for converting stage coordinates of defects in the wafer under test into wafer reticle coordinates as a function of both the inspection image of the wafer under test and the CAD data.
[0010] These, and other, embodiments of the invention will be better appreciated and understood when considered in conjunction with the following description and the accompanying drawings. It should be understood, however, that the following description, while indicating various embodiments of the invention and numerous specific details thereof, is given by way of illustration and not of limitation. Many substitutions, modifications, additions and/or rearrangements may be made within the scope of the invention without departing from the spirit thereof, and the invention includes all such substitutions, modifications, additions and/or rearrangements.
[0011] The drawings accompanying and forming part of this specification are included to depict certain aspects of the invention. A clearer conception of the invention, and of the components and operation of systems provided with the invention, will become more readily apparent by referring to the exemplary, and therefore nonlimiting, embodiments illustrated in the drawings, wherein like reference numerals (if they occur in more than one view) designate the same or similar elements. The invention may be better understood by reference to one or more of these drawings in combination with the description presented herein. It should be noted that the features illustrated in the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale.

[0013]FIG. 2 is an image of a reticle, illustrating an aspect of the invention.
[0014]FIG. 3 is an image of a repeater defect spread across different reticle fields, illustrating an embodiment of the invention.

[0018] The invention and the various features and advantageous details thereof are explained more fully with reference to the nonlimiting embodiments that are illustrated in the accompanying drawings and detailed in the following description. It should be understood that the detailed description and the specific examples, while indicating specific embodiments of the invention, are given by way of illustration only and not by way of limitation. Various substitutions, modifications, additions and/or rearrangements within the spirit and/or scope of the underlying inventive concept will become apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art from this disclosure.
[0019] During inspection of wafers in a fabrication facility, repeater defects or anomalies may show up from time to time. Repeater defects are defects that are repeated in each reticle field of a wafer, and may be due to, for example, problems with the reticle mask or plate. When wafer defects are repeated from one reticle field to another, an inspection tool may flag such defects and store them in a defect file. The defect file contains the stage X-Y coordinates for each potential detected defect. Using the defect file in a review station, a review tool may be driven to the locations found in the wafer or die for that particular defect or missing feature. Unfortunately, the locations of the repeater in the defect file may be off by as much as approximately 5 to 15 microns from one repeater defect to another in a different reticle field. This offset may be due to, for example, stage inconsistencies from tool to tool or mechanical tolerances, making it difficult to translate defect positions between the wafer and the reticle mask.
[0020] The present invention may include a method and/or apparatus for determining the absolute X-Y location of semiconductor features or the like by using a computer-aided design (CAD) layout overlaid onto an inspection image. The features may be, for example, a defect or an anomaly. The invention may include tagging the defect or missing feature by appending absolute CAD X-Y coordinates to the defect file.
[0021] In one embodiment, the CAD layout and the inspection image may be automatically synchronized. When the stage on the review tool moves across the die, the overlaid CAD image for a particular layer may move in tandem. This automated synchronization method may take both the image seen on the inspection tool screen and the generated CAD image. In another embodiment, an operator may be provided with the inspection image and the overlaid CAD drawing in the same screen. Once the synchronization described above is performed in accordance with the invention, the defect file for a particular wafer with repeater defects may be loaded into the inspection or review tool and driven to the particular defect or missing feature of interest. The defect's absolute CAD X-Y may be recorded in the form of a tagged defect file, or a tagged file.
[0022] Typically, reticle plates are four times larger than the device being printed and are a mirror image of the reticle field. In one embodiment, the CAD X-Y coordinates may be transformed accordingly to compensate for differences between the reticle plate and a reticle field. A reticle plate review tool, which is similar in structure to a fabrication inspection tool, can accurately be driven to the correct defect location using the CAD X-Y coordinates. Once the defective area is correctly found on the reticle plate, analysis tools may be used to determine possible problems with that particular feature.
[0023] In one embodiment, after repairing the reticle plate, a print test may be performed and the wafer inspection review tools may be returned to the same location in order to determine the output of the repair. Additional defect locations found on the plate at the mask shop may be also reported using the methods described herein, and wafer fabrication inline inspection tools may be driven to those same locations using absolute CAD X-Y coordinates.
[0024] Referring to FIG. 1, a wafer 105 is depicted, illustrating an aspect of the invention. In this exemplary embodiment, the wafer 105 may include, for example, six rows 100 of reticle fields 110. Reticle fields 110 are formed in a known manner in an ordered pattern on Wafer 105 using step-and-repeat photolythographic processes. Typically, a reticle field 110 (which may correspond to an individual die) may contain undesirable defects 115. The defects 115 may be chemical or structural irregularities that degrade the crystal structure of silicon or of the deposited materials that reside on the reticle field 110 surface.
[0025] Referring to FIG. 2, an individual reticle field 110 detailed in FIG. 1 is depicted illustrating an aspect of the invention. The reticle field 110 includes defects 115. In this example, one of the defects 115 is a repeater defect 120. The repeater defect 120 may repeat itself throughout some or all of the other reticle fields in wafer 105 detailed in FIG. 1.
[0026] If reticle fields 110 of wafer 105 depicted in FIG. 1 were stacked onto a single reticle field shot showing only repeater defects, the spread associated with stage run out caused by the inspection tool would be seen as it scans across and down the wafer.
[0027] For example, referring to FIG. 3, the repeater defect 120 detailed in FIG. 2 spread across different reticle fields is depicted illustrating one embodiment of the invention. A circle 305 indicates the actual position of the repeater defect 120. A plurality of crossed squares 310 represent a single stack of the same defect in the same portion of different reticle fields located in different parts of the wafer. In one practical embodiment, the stage accuracy as the inspection system scans vertically and horizontally across the wafer may shows a spread of as much as 10 microns in each direction (ΔX and ΔY in FIG. 3). Thus, the same reticle defect that manifests itself in different reticle fields as a repeater defect may be perceived to be spread across an area of about 20 to 100 square microns in different reticle fields. In one embodiment, the invention may include a defect repeater automation method which finds common coordinates of defect locations within the wafer and outputs a tagged defect file populated with the CAD X-Y coordinates of repeater defects, aiding in failure analysis by providing the exact location of particular defects, and improving accuracy in existing reticle automation software.
[0028] Referring to FIG. 4, a block diagram of a semiconductor inspection apparatus 400 is depicted according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention. A stage 405 is coupled to a scanning device 410, and it may include a device under test (DUT) 406. The device under test 406 may be, for example, a wafer. The scanning device 410 may be, for example, a scanning electron microscope (SEM) or an optical device to provide an image of a wafer defect and/or surrounding features to a detection device 415. A control unit 420 may be circuitry or a computer which controls, coordinates, and gathers information from the stage 405, scanning device 410, and detection unit 415. A synchronization unit 425 is coupled to the control unit 420, and a program storage media 430 is coupled to the synchronization unit 425.
[0029] The scanning and detection devices 410, 415 may be, for example, a scanning electron microscope (SEM) or an optical based system. The control unit 420 may move the stage 405 in space and control operation of the scanning and detection devices 410, 415. As the stage 405 moves under the inspection system, stage coordinates along with detection and scanning information may be kept track of by the control unit 420. The control unit 420 and the synchronization unit 425 work in conjunction with each other to coordinate wafer and/or intra-die locations for overlaying and synchronizing a CAD generated data 407 onto a captured inspection image 408 generated by the inspection tool (optical or SEM). The inspection image 408 may also be referred to as a DUT inspection image, a captured DUT image, or a wafer image. The control unit 420 may also provide the synchronization unit 425 with a defect file containing stage X-Y coordinates of defects and features.
[0030] The synchronization unit 425 processes the CAD data 407 and the inspection image 408. The synchronization unit 425 operates to convert the CAD data 407 into a rendered image in a predetermined image format. The rendered image may be squared off at the ends to better represent the inspection image 408 provided by the inspection tool. Next, an alignment algorithm may be used for synchronizing and compensating for any offsets between the CAD data 407 and the inspection image 408. In one embodiment, the synchronization unit 425 may overlay an image derived from the CAD data 407 onto the inspection image 408, or vice versa. In another embodiment, the synchronization unit 425 may receive the inspection image 408 from the detection device 415 (for example, a wafer image or a reticle image), retrieve the CAD data 407 from a database (not shown), perform a synchronization operation, receive a defect file 421 from the control unit 420, map a CAD feature coordinate to a reticle field defect coordinate, and provide the control unit 420 with tagged defect file 426 containing CAD X-Y coordinates of defects.
[0031] In practice, the synchronization unit 425 may be a programmable circuit, such as, for example, a computer, microprocessor or digital signal processor-based (DSP) circuit, that operates in accordance with instructions stored in the program storage media 430. The program storage media 430 may be any type of readable memory including, for example, a magnetic or optical media such as a card, tape or disk, or a semiconductor memory such as a PROM or FLASH memory. The synchronization unit 425 may be implemented in software, such as, for example, a software defined algorithm, or the functions may be implemented by a hardware circuit, or by a combination of hardware and software.
[0032] When the synchronization unit 425 is a programmable circuit, a program, such as that presented below and discussed in detail with reference to FIG. 5, is stored in the program storage media 430 to create an apparatus in accordance with the present invention that operates in accordance with the methods of the present invention. In the alternative, the synchronization unit 425 may be hard-wired or may use predetermined data tables, or may be a combination of hard-wired and programmable circuitry.
[0033] Referring to FIG. 5, a flowchart of translation method 500 is depicted, representing an embodiment of the invention. The method 500 may be stored in the program storage media 430 and performed by the synchronization unit 425, both detailed in FIG. 4. The inspection image 408 is processed by a first image conversion step 505 where a die image is converted from a raster scan or any other image format into a predetermined image format. The CAD image 407 is received from a database (not shown) and is processed by a lithography modeling step 510, producing a rendered die or wafer image 506. In one exemplary embodiment, the lithography modeling method performed by step 510 may use, for example, the Prolith lithography software available from Finle Technology, Inc. The rendered image 506 is further processed by a second image conversion step 515 that converts rendered image 506 into the same predetermined image format as that produced by block 505. The predetermined image format may be any image format such as, for example, a tagged-image file format (TIFF) conversion, a joint photographic experts group image (JPEG), a graphic interchange format image (GIF), a printer description file (PDF), or any other image format.
[0034] The outputs of the image conversion steps 505, 515 are processed by an alignment step 520. The alignment of the two images, both in the same predetermined image format and at the same magnification, are matched by all the edge features of the image, yielding a map of inspection image to CAD image coordinates. Step 525 receives the defect file 421 containing stage X-Y coordinates of a defect and appends to it the corresponding CAD X-Y coordinates of the defect, outputting the tagged defect file 426.
[0035] The alignment step 520 may use any of a variety of alignments methods. For example, the alignment step 520 may use a gradient descent method, such as an additive algorithm, a compositional algorithm, or an inverse compositional algorithm. While an additive algorithms estimate additive increments to alignment parameters, compositional algorithms estimate incremental warps. Gradient descent algorithms are well known to one of ordinary skill in the art. In one exemplary embodiment, the alignment method performed by step 520 may use, for example, the image alignment method used in the 8250 Series CD SEM tool, which is a critical dimension scanning electron micrograph tool for measuring very small features, made available by KLA-Tencor. In another embodiment, the invention may use the image alignment method used in the KLA-Tencor ES20 tool.
[0036] Referring to FIGS. 4 and 5, the invention includes a method and/or apparatus for providing the control unit 420 of a semiconductor inspection apparatus 400 with a map of wafer coordinates to CAD coordinates. The control unit can perform a fine alignment of the stage 405. The synchronization unit 425 may be useful in defect location.
[0037] Referring to FIG. 6, a synchronized CAD and wafer image 600 is depicted, illustrating an aspect of the invention. A square 605 represents a CAD element or feature, and a circle 610 represents a wafer element or feature. The overlaying of wafer and CAD images illustrated in FIG. 6 is done by the alignment block 520 detailed in FIG. 5.
[0038] In one exemplary embodiment, the invention may be used to detect wafer or reticle defects through CAD navigation. A wafer element 615 found without a corresponding CAD feature indicates a possible wafer defect. For example, the wafer defect may be a missing contact. In another embodiment, the defect detection may be automated. The absolute defect location may be recorded in a defect file or a database.
[0039] In one embodiment, the invention may include synchronizing and overlaying a CAD image to a wafer image, automatically locating wafer defects on the resulting overlaid image, and adding absolute CAD X-Y coordinates of the wafer defects to a defect file or database. The invention may also include using the absolute CAD defect coordinates of a defect file or database for driving an inspection system and automatically locating defects in a reticle which correspond to the wafer defects.

A Chicago attorney named Fredrick Goings has been found guilty in the 2009 murder of former NBA player Eddy Curry's ex girlfriend Nova Henry and their 10-month old daughter Ava. Goings was the attorney for Henry in a child custody case against Curry. The two were also romantically involved. Prosecutors say Henry tried to end the relationship with Goings and moved from his home with her two children, both by Curry. Goings shot Henry in her home while she was holding Ava. Curry's son Noah, who was then 3 years old at the time, was in the home but wasn't harmed. When Nova's mother discovered the bodies, she testified that Noah told her "Fredrick did it." Curry is currently playing basketball in China. source

I lucked out. Previous card holder had mere stitches left so surfin' I went. Somehow Yahoo'd credit card holders by Leatherology. Bought one in black. When others see it my stock rises. It takes a while to get it back after everybody has to inspect it, handle it, etc. And it does a great job of keeping my plastic handy.
P.S. Would I recommend this to a friend? You bet!
This is a very nice and high-quality product at a good price. I was looking for something much thinner, similar to an All-Ett card/id case which has been discontinued, and this one is too large and not thin enough for my front pocket. Again, great wallet, which I will give to someone as a gift, but I bought it online without being able to get a sense of its size.
Much too big.
Very nice. One thing That I'm very disappointed in was that leatherology was embroidered on it. It didn't show any pictures of that. Not sure if I'm going to keep it because of that.
Ordered for my wife for Christmas
What a beautiful item !!
Will certainly buy from you guys again !
This was a gift for my husband and he really liked it. Everything was as described, and fit all of my husbands cards. He really liked that he was able to display both his license and work ID. Shipping was great, arrived timely and in good condition.
The best wallet money can buy period.
My credit card case arrived 3 weeks ago. It was perfect exactly what Ive been looking for for 4 months. I use it as my wallet and credit card holder. The openings are big perfect size to put all your wallet cards and papers perfectly in place. The leather is gorgeous and the initials and color of the case are excellent. 5 stars. Perfect Thank you
Jeff K
Loved this product...timely delivery, high quality
I apparently misunderstood the description and thought there would be several sleeves for credit cards. There are only two.
I purchased this as a birthday gift. The recipient was very excited and pleased with the item. Monogram added a personal touch. Thanks for the quick shipment as wel.
I love this folding double exposure leather ID case. It folds nicely to conceal your ID'S. It is so light weight and it has a pocket in front of the case to put things in. Luv it, Luv it, Luv it!
Beautiful Italian leather in a muted red tone...this was just what I was looking for...arrived quicker than expected. Very happy...would purchase from Leatherology again.
I looked High and Low for one of these cases that has the fold on the other side so it opens long-ways (i.e horizontally) and has the openings for cards on the inside so when it's folded the cards can't slip out
I bought this one because no one seems to make the one I am looking for, but giving you 4 stars because it is nicely constructed, leather is quality and it has a classy look about it
if you could make one that opens vertically and a touch thinner, I would buy it, and give it 5 stars
I have been looking for this exact card case for over a year and was just elated when I found it and again when it arrived. The quality is exceptional as was the presentation in the mailing. I would very much consider ordering from them again and recommending it to my friends!
I am very satisfied with this product. Great leather and construction. I am traveling to Costa Rica in 2 weeks and will use this case. I like it for its compact size.
It is perfect. Thank you.
This credit card ID case is exactly what I was looking for. Holds 10-12 cards, not too big, has transparent views on both sides, with a thumb slide on each side. Has one external slot for an emergency bill or whatever.
Very nice leather with quality stitching. Bought one for me and my wife.
It is perfect! My husband loves it because he can carry just what he needs when he leaves the house. He hated carrying around cards he didn't need!
Thank you for a job well done!!
I recently opened an account for a new client who had a fleather id and credit card folder. I told him at the time that I would fix that. after searching, I discovered Leatherology and selected this case. When I received it, I was very impressed with the packaging and attention to detail. When I presented it to my new client, he was totally shocked. The quality, gift box presentation and functionality of the product are above and beyond exceptional- It made me look like a classy gift giver and my client was thrilled. Great quality beautifully made and gift presentation was exceptional.
I was pleased, because it met the requirements of being large enough to accomodate a laminated medicare care.
This is a gift for my husband, so I haven't gotten his feedback on it yet. I've only looked at it quickly myself.
This product surpassed all my expectations.
Very nice product. This wallet is well constructed. The leather is of excellent quality. Arrived within 5 days of when the order was placed. I will most definitely purchase from Leatherology again
I love the product and am very pleased with the service I received. I am sure I will purchase other items from your company for myself and as for gifts. i would like to know if you send coupons or offer any incentives. Thanks so much. Sherre Gilliam
Excellent quality. Just what I have been looking for for several years!
My Husband loved his gift!!
Love it
Love it!
excellant quality, exactly what I wanted

It has become dramatic canon that all Chicago politicians are corrupt, and Kane is no different. He runs his town like a mobster, ordering deals, and flesh, to be cut with ruthless efficiency, wreaking havoc with the lives and careers of anyone who crosses him. In real life, such people are simply despicable; on television, where they congregate with alarming frequency, they are known as antiheroes. It helps that Grammer is able to give Kane the oratorical grace of a modern-day King Lear. (If he didn't have such a checkered past, including an ex-wife parading their divorce on "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," one could imagine Grammer running for public office, something in which he has, despite these obvious obstacles, expressed an interest.) It also helps that we meet Kane as he learns he has a degenerative neurological disease, an Alzheimer's-like condition that will deprive him of brain and muscle control before it kills him. But not, perhaps, before he is forced to reconsider some of the choices he has made in his life, including his emotional estrangement from his wife, Meredith (Connie Nielsen), and their abandonment of troubled daughter Emma (Hannah Ware).
Good thing too, since "Boss" relies so heavily on his performance. Unlike "Breaking Bad," "Men of a Certain Age," and even "House," "Boss" is not trying to be edgy or particularly brave in its storytelling. Where "Breaking Bad" took an old trope — knowledge of imminent death begets positive transformation — and turned it inside out, creator Farhad Safinia and writers Richard Levine and Lyn Greene seem to be following the traditional version. They fully embrace formula — the corrupt development deals, the chilly wife, the troubled daughter, the suave but dastardly up-and-comer, the dogged reporter, all seem, in early episodes anyway, to be working together to force Kane to accept his personal truth in a very old-fashioned way.
It's a solid enough formula, and if the writers have overly epic ambitions, they also have a collective eye for detail. The pilot, directed by Gus Van Sant, is visually rich and textured, opening as it does in an abandoned slaughterhouse. (Hog butcher for the world, people, in case you've forgotten.) The characters may be stock — reporter Sam Miller (Troy Garity) is determined to bring Kane down; daughter Emma is fighting her addictions, Kane's one female staffer, Kitty (Kathleen Robertson), is a vision of spectacled hotness — but it's reliable stock and given, in the first few episodes, a promising amount of depth. Not in every case — Kitty predictably, has an up-against-the-stairwell-wall affair with rising star and family man Ben Zajac (Jeff Hephner), and the wonderful Martin Donovan does not have nearly enough to do as Kane's right-hand man, Ezra — but the characters seem capable of lifting some of the narrative burden from Kane's shoulders.
Which is what will determine if "Boss" becomes Starz's first genuine hit. One performance, even a great one, is not enough — even the most accomplished Lear needs to trust the stage to the other players, if only so he can have a moment to draw breath.

Belkin Share N300 Wireless N+ Router - F7D7302
Customer Reviews of Belkin Share N300 Wireless N+ Router
Worked for 10 days & died12/2/2014
I bought this router as a back up for my Llinksys. When my Linksys started to show signs of aging I hooked up this Belkin Share N300. I used it for 10 days and it died. No power to it at all. Of course I didn't use it until after the 45 day return window so I have to toss it. I will replace my Linksys, which I had in place for over 10 years, probably with another Linksys instead of Belkin. I thought I liked the Belkin name, not so much any more.
A nice router9/11/2013
Very good item.
Intermittent connection issues, software required9/6/2013
I bought this router because the one I had was ~10 years old and only had WEP. The old router wouldn't work with Apple products. This Belkin router had an easy, fast setup. I intended to use the option to attach a hard drive to the router for network storage but it requires software be loaded on each computer. My biggest complaint is I have very frequent internet drop outs and have to reset the router often. This happens once every week or two. I never had this issue with my old router.
This was an awesome deal. However, if you need tech support, Belkin will not help you. I took me several hours and my son going bonkers before I figured it out. We I did and now I'M WIRELESS!!!! OH YEAH!!!!!
USB sharing is not easy9/2/2013
This is a budget router worth its $20 price tag. I have used it in both wired and wireless connections and there were no problems in performance or reliability. However, using the USB port that is available in this model is not straightforward, as you have to use special utility that needs to be installed on each client device. Other devices I've seen do not have this requirement, and the USB sharing can be configured from the router itself. Otherwise it is a plug and forget model, that requires no maintenance.1 Helpful | 0 Not Helpful
great router9/2/2013
for the price, you cant go wrong, with one USB port for printer or network storage!
Good for the price8/30/2013
hooked up easily and provides good signal throughout 2 story apartment
Worked decently until I bricked it...8/30/2013
This router is a great value for the money. I initially purchased it to use as possibly use as an Access Point but first I wanted to compare it too my D-Link dir-655. I placed the two routers in the same location in our 2nd floor office and found that the signal strength on multiple devices wasn't as strong on the N300 as the dir-655 on our 1st floor, but it was strong enough and maintained similar internet connection speeds. The main drawback for this router is the lack of a gigabit ethernet port, but at it's price point you wouldn't really expect it. In the day I messed around with the router, it seemed to be adequate with no major or noticeable flaws. My impatience and general lack of knowledge caused me to brick it while doing a firmware update within 24 hours of getting it.
Great Router!!8/25/2013
This N300 Belkin wireless router is much more efficient and faster than my previous wireless G router. The only problem is when I tried to connect another laptop to the network, it was a bit tricky but I believed it was due to the firewall settings. However it is working now and it was very very easy to install.
Good Item8/23/2013
Good Product!!
Needed Belkin Help to Configure as an Access Point8/22/2013
The Belkin Share N300 model F7D7301 is a simple N router with a USB port for a LAN printer. It has clean lines and is significantly larger than the Belkin Surf N300. For my application I needed to configure it as an Access Point. I had to get help from Belkin to complete the configuration. It is up and running except for the internal time. I am working with Belkin to resolve this issue.
Price performer8/20/2013
Quality product. Not quite the range I hoped for
Really nice product. ..easy to setup. ..very happy with purchase..received on time
Slightly tricky installation8/19/2013
Need to right click to open monitor is undocumented. USB port is a real plus & makes wireless printer sharing very easy once the software is loaded on the computers sharing the printer.
Belkin Router8/10/2013
Very happy with router
Using as an access point.8/8/2013
I bought this to use as a wireless access point because of poor performance from my FIOS router. My android tablet is reporting 65Mbps in the same room, not exactly as advertised, but it is a significant improvement and it is faster than my internet connection of 25. Overall, it is good solution for the price.
Belkin Share N300 Router8/6/2013
Excellent Router that works well! Fast and Efficient!
WORKS GREAT AND EASY TO SET UP. IT CAN BE USED AS AN ROUTER OR AN ACCESS POINT WHICH IS A GREAT PLUS!! PRICE WAS EXCELLENT AS WELL. i WILL ORDER FOR MY CUSTOMERS AS WELL.
I am satisfied with the product
Good price for the router8/4/2013
Easy to Setup and built-in USB port that helpful. It running 300 Mbps on my net.
Wrong model number8/4/2013
They list this as F7D7302 which is the newer model number, however the item shipped is the older version, the F7D3302. It still works and I decided not to ship it back to avoid any hassle, however it is an older model which is supposed to be less effective with more flaws.
great device
As good as advertised8/2/2013
Purchased this to replace 7 year old wireless G router. Had to re-establish setups for wireless network, computers and slingbox. Instructions were clear enough to accomplish setups without much hassle. Very pleased with wireless N performance.
Awesome router8/1/2013
CAn't beat the price. Easy setup and works much better than my old one.
Quick Delivery and exactly as promised.8/1/2013
Item arrived on time and was exactly as described. Bonus was that it was $2.00 cheaper that my previous vendor.
it works8/1/2013
you get what you pay for
Worth it7/31/2013
I just received this router. I have not had the chance to set it up. Once connected, I plan to come back and do an update on this review.
Top of the Line7/31/2013
I already had this unit and have been pleased with it since purchasing it about a year ago. I purchased this for a friend. I would compare this to any top of the line router. It works well, runs 7/24 and is a real winner.
good cheap Belkin router7/30/2013
for the price its really good I have installed Tomato firmware ... rally happy with this Belkin router
Decent price7/29/2013
Unit appeared to have been a resealed package as if it were a returned item
GREAT value!7/29/2013
So far I have been extremely satisfied with my purchase. The router was shipped extremely fast and was brand new. I have a ATT Uverse Gateway so I have cascaded this router in order to add ethernet ports and upgrade my wireless to N. The set up was EXTREMELY intuitive. Although there are faster routers out there, for the price I really don't think you can find a better value. Going from Wireless G to N I could immediately see improvement. Buy with confidence.
Not bad.7/29/2013
Not bad.
Awesome tomato router7/28/2013
The perfect guide to get tomato on this router in less than 10 mins: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3KC3BOISOWG6/ref=cm_cr_dp_title?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B0045HG53K&nodeID=172282&store=electronics
Does what it is supposed to7/28/2013
I had to go into the advanced options to find the best setup options. The wizard is actually harder than the manual setup. I haven't used all features yet, but the wired and wireless network routers work great and are an improvement over my old G router.
Slow delivery7/28/2013
Good value, just wanted it delivered faster
Go Wireless7/27/2013
Belkin is a good piece of hardware that will do the job around my home. It is taking care of about seven laptops and three PC's. The buy is great and the reliability is there
Great, cheap router7/26/2013
This router is excellent; I use it with the manufacturer supplied firmware (but it is TomatoUSB compatible.) It only took about 30 minutes from opening the box to having a functional setup serving DHCP addresses to 2 wired devices and offering secure wireless access (which I have since turned off, as I don't really need it now.) Haven't tried out the USB printer/storage sharing yet. The switch has been very stable, and has been set to auto-reset itself weekly. I am thinking of buying another
Great Router7/25/2013
Super easy to set up. If you use the pre-set configuration it is is literally ready to go out of the box. I customized it to my own personal settings and was done in 5 minutes from unpack to connect and have every device in my house working perfectly. My house has some tricky obstacles for a clear signal, but nonetheless, this is the best router I have used.
Awesome router7/25/2013
This router is great better than the one I had before it comes ready to use out of the box with password security just plug and go it performs great I get better speed on all my devices andat a great price can't beat it.
yes I will order again7/24/2013
nice product shipped quickly and packaged to avoid damage I like product and company both
Belkin F7D73027/19/2013
Using this from 7/14....this product rocks so far... effortless setting... 3 very simple and easy steps.. also its faster than my service provider router as my wife told me and happy with this. Its worth buying. Must recommend.
Works perfect!!!7/4/2013
Fast delivery. Excellent product worked as advertised out of the box.
Great Product7/3/2013
This router is a great product at an even greater value. It is setup out-of-the-box so installation is a breeze.
Great, fast shipping and price7/3/2013
A nice purchase, received a few days earlier than expected. Great price too. The company's inserts shows they prize customer satisfaction.
Very good product and very quick delievery7/2/2013
Very good product and very quick delievery
Belkin N Router7/2/2013
Decent product, great price, was in the market for a replacement and thought I would try it out. Not disappointed for now.
This is an outstanding display of customer satisfaction.
Good Value6/30/2013
Setup was easy. comes pre-configured with wireless security enabled and the password on a little card. like the guest network feature.
Everything I expected6/28/2013
I didn't have high expectations for a wireless N router that only costs $18, but so far its performance has been better than anticipated.

From the Publisher:
The use of children as soldiers in armed conflicts has been universally condemned as abhorrent and unacceptable. Yet, over the last decade, hundreds of thousands of children have fought and died in conflicts around the world. Children are frequently killed or injured during combat or while carrying out other tasks. They are forced to engage in hazardous activities, such as laying mines or explosives, as well as using weapons. Child soldiers are usually forced to live under harsh conditions with insufficient food and little or no access to healthcare. They are almost always treated brutally, subjected to beatings and humiliating treatment. Punishments for mistakes or desertion are often very severe. Girl soldiers are particularly at risk of rape, sexual harassment, and abuse. This book examines recent case law, developments, and actions being taken by the international community on behalf of these victims of wars.

In a time when we check Facebook when we're bored, I recall a line from Harvey Danger's smash hit, "Flagpole Sitta:" if you're bored than you're boring.
I'm not talking about you,
Reider reader (punny). I'm talking about the social networks.
So have we really become bored with social media?
The Landscape
The article, Triumph of the bores, states that "no one can hear you being boring" on social media. That's obvious when you realize that there are more than 500,000,000 tweets sent every day.
Today, people are overloaded with content, messaging and cat pictures. Are people experiencing information overload so severe that they're cutting ties with their social networks?
In short, yes.
After reading the details below, it's no wonder people are feeling the need to take breaks from social media.
The Facts
Is social media boring us?
Everyone may be on social media, but not everyone's loving it.
Mobile discovery startup Delvv has created this infographic titled "Why you're still bored," which lists reasons, statistics and facts about why people are getting bored of social media.
Recent studies have revealed that six in 10 people dislike excessive sharing on social media. Other polls have suggested a smaller, yet growing sentiment among network users.
According to a new poll by Reuters and research firm Ipsos, 34 percent of surveyed Facebook users were suffering from "Facebook fatigue." Because of this, they were spending less time on the website than six months ago. That's a significant amount of "meh" surrounding the social network these days, and the malaise seems to be growing.
During Lent, a time when Christians "fast" from selected items, 31% of them shun technology … and some continue their refrain even after the 40 days.
The Aftermath
It's hard to refrain from using social media, from having the world at our fingertips, to find useful information in nanoseconds, but the information overload is tuning out many users.
It's concerning because Generation Y [holla!] often appears to have no patience for boredom. We've grown accustomed to multitasking on a plethora of screens (iPods, laptops, smartphones, Glass).
I contest, however, that taking a much-needed break from our technological distractions can give us a fresh look at the world around us. In a sense, we can "recharge" without the USB cable.
So stop staring at that screen and just eat your breakfast.
Share Your Thoughts
What do you think? Have your Facebook habits changed? Is "Facebook fatigue" a real thing?

Lightsource acquires 6.5 MW UK farm site24. May 2013 | Applications & Installations, Global PV markets, Industry & Suppliers | By: Max Hall
Renewables company Lightsource Renewable Energy acquires 6.3 MW Solarcentury PV park.
UK solar company Lightsource Renewable Energy has acquired a 6.3 MW solar project in Southampton from developer Solarcentury.
The 35-acre site has 25,632 JA Solar panels mounted on Hilti frames at Chalcroft Farm in the West End area of the South Coast city.
The project – the first developed by Solarcentury – is an example of the diversification being pursued by hard-pressed UK farmers to hedge against increasingly erratic weather patterns.
Solarcentury will conduct operations and maintenance for two years before handing over the duties to Lightsource.
Lightsource announced last month that it was developing an 11 MW solar plant in St Allen, near Truro in Cornwall being built over 60 acres of a sheep and llama farm.
The farmland projects are just one part of a solar portfolio which Lightsource claims amounts to 133 MW in the first quarter of the year, around a third of the 350 MW announced in the UK from January to March this year.

Did Obama end the Reagan revolution? Or did Bush kill it, and Obama bury it?
- By Thomas E. RicksThomas E. Ricks covered the U.S. military for the Washington Post from 2000 through 2008. He can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.
I was thinking over that question last night as I fell asleep at the Army War College, where I am visiting. I think one reason President Obama excites so much emotion is that he represents the end of the Reagan revolution.
Look at this way. FDR's New Deal lasted about four decades, until it began collapsing under President Carter. Then Reagan came along. In a nutshell, he inverted the New Deal: Government was not the answer, he said, it was part of the problem. He also began a massive transfer of wealth from the middle classes to the top 1 percent of our society. One reason he could do this is that he didn't get us into an expensive war.
In both cases, eventual successors from the other party lived with the work of their predecessors. Just as Eisenhower did not try to undo the New Deal, Clinton did not try to reverse the Reagan revolution.
I don't think Obama killed the Regan revolution. I think it was getting old — it had lasted nearly three decades. But I think the Reagan influence effectively was killed by President Bush's lengthy Iraq war, which proved so expensive that it was no longer possible to transfer wealth to the rich at the Reagan-era rate without running up huge deficits.
Obama, I think, buried the corpse, especially with his second inaugural. Government, he is saying, often is part of the answer. I think people are ready to hear this. They don't mind paying taxes as long as they believe the results are concrete: fewer potholes, longer library hours, healthier kids — and disaster relief for the victims of Sandy.

Photo: Miley Cyrus Shows Off 'Piggy Tails,' Latest Tattoo
The photo, purportedly snapped to show off Cyrus' "piggy tails," shows off a whole lot more -- namely a close-up shot of the dream catcher tattoo the singer had inked on her ribs earlier this year.
The dream catcher, which is the fifth tattoo for Cyrus, has four feathers hanging from it, each of which reportedly represents one of her siblings.
"The dream catcher is to protect them," says a friend of the star.
Check out Miley's latest ink.

Why do you people call anybody white trash when you don't even know a person? I am 40 and my boobs does not sag. This person is just growing up, experimenting life like any of us. She just happens to be a celebrity! Why must any of you bad mouth a person when you don't even personally know a person? Could their be jealousy or you actually white trash yourself? Having tattoos is a form of art expression. Some people chose to wear it on their bodies. That does not make a person white trash. I know many people with tattoos including myself still goes to college, have a good carreer, started a family and live like civilized decent and kind human beings. Miley just happened to be make millions for her tallent for her age but that doesn't make the rest of you think you know her. Stop degrading and talking crap about people you don't even know. Try to get yourself out of the white trash society yourself and have some heart and love for other human beings. This world is crazy isn't because of one or two celebrity but its because of the unkind hearted and hatred people like you people! Grow up already!

One word: UGLY. My girlfriend doesn't have any tattooes. I told her if she ever gets one, we're done. I don't have any, either. She doesn't one, either and doesn't want one. These things are very costly and a waste of money. I saw one girl had a small flower on her ankle and it look nice but something like Miley has: UGLY.

There is nothing wrong with expressing yourself with tattoos it does not make you white trash. Who are we to judge anyone? That is God's job not yours. He who is without sin cast the first stone and i seriously doubt any of you can declare yourself better than anyone else and if so YOU will be held responsible when you stand before HIM. Pretty tattoo Miley don't let any of these people affect you.

- Tuesday 19 AprilBy sc
She is not trash because of her tats - that's a personal choice. Many, many people, celebs and non alike, have them - she's trash because of her decisions in her life. Poor decisions. I have nothing "personal" to not like her for - just not a good role model for my 11 yr old daughter. I could care less who she is sleeping with, how many tats she gets, etc...
BTW - it is easy to get your tattoo removed - just as easy as it was getting it! You walk in somewhere, pay for someone to do it, and voila! Tats are expensive and painful for the most part! AND they now have the wrecking balm to fade them out first. I believe it is more painful because you have to go so many times-penetrate the same area over and over and over again. The same goes for when you get a tattoo - when the tattooist goes over the same spot the next day, week, or what have you, before you are healed, it hurts worse!

Some high school seniors are still wondering where the next few years will take them.
One Starkville Academy senior knows exactly where he is headed.
On Friday morning, Jamison McKee signed a soccer scholarship which will see him change his Volunteers jersey for that of the Meridian Community College Eagles.
With the number of players to ink letters year after year is just one of the few testaments to how strong the Starkville Academy soccer program had become over the years.

Descendants proud of Korean martyrs

SEOUL, South Korea -- They died well over a century ago, but the 124 Korean Catholic martyrs who will be honored by Pope Francis today still have a hold over many of their descendants -- even some who learned of their sacrifices only in recent years, or whose families are now Buddhist or Protestant.

I'm really trying to shy away from making signatures and things lately.
My Deviant Art is a hot mess with cosplay, photography, large art, resources for you to use etc. I really hope no one minds lol.
I want to focus on things I create by myself without rely on other people as much. My art and design skills aren't that great so I hope I don't lose any watchers during this hot mess of a transition. lol. One day I might lock away all of my signatures so I hope you guys stay with me
I've been focusing a lot on our Etsy store www.foundryofallthings.etsy.com The artist I've been working with no longer has any interest in art or talking to me. So I basically have to find a way to carry the shop on with just me and my lack of skills. I'm more of a hands on kind of person.
Maybe I should add some of my arts and crafts into it. I recently made my own Christmas Wreath and a few fabric hair bows. Maybe that's too much.

Fund Raising
The majority of all funds raised by Shriners goes to the Shriners Hospitals for Children system (including transportation of the child and parent(s) to/from the hospital and telemedicine) or local hospitals and emergency services.
"Pennies of Hope" Collection Boxes
Various retailers throughout the Kitchener-Waterloo area have generously agreed to help by placing a Shriner Coin Collection Box at their place of business. The little bits of change often mean nothing to many but put together with everyone else's loose change this can make a big difference to children who benefit from the Shriners Hospitals. If you see one, please consider donating any change you might be able to afford. If you are a retailer and would like to help out, please contact us and we will get a box to you immediately!
Aluminum Can Recycling
The club collects aluminum cans donated from homes and businesses in the Kitchener-Waterloo area.You may drop them off in the container at the KW Masonic Hall, 440 Weber St N, Waterloo
Beer, Wine and Liquor Bottle Returns
The club also accepts any returnable beer, wine and liquor bottles.
Vidalia Onions from Georgia
"The onion so sweet it can be eaten like an apple!"
Each year in May the Waterloo Shriners sell 10 lb bags of the world famous "Vidalia Sweet Onions". These are JUMBO size onions, approximately 17-20 per bag.
See our Links page for recipes and storages tips!
Many of us have probably seen Vidalia onions in our local supermarkets, but what we probably don't realize is that the Vidalia onion actually grows in Georgia. As the story goes, back in 1931, a farmer named Coleman had planted onions that were supposed to be hot, but due to the conditions of the soil and the moderate climate, grew to be unusually sweet tasting. News quickly spread of this delicious but sweet onion and by the 1970s, production of the Vidalia Onion exploded as growers tried to keep up the demand for this tasty new onion variety.
They only make you cry when they're gone!
Christmas Cakes
Each Christmas season our club sells Fruit Cakes, Plum Puddings, Mixed Nuts, Shortbread Cookies etc. the products are of the highest quality and are purchased by us right before we start selling them in late November.

Group says Yahoo helped jail Chinese journalistSeptember 6, 2005
Yahoo yields to Chinese Web lawsAugust 13, 2002
In a report titled "Undermining Freedom of Expression in China," the human rights group says that the three Internet companies often talk about offering people new ways to access information. But in practice the companies have bowed to censorship demands from China's ruling Communist Party, the report says.
"This puts a lot of things together," said Jason Disterhoft, an Amnesty International spokesman. "It makes the hypocrisy explicit."
Yahoo, for instance, said in a February 2006 press release: "We are committed to providing individuals with easy access to information and opportunities to openly communicate and exchange views and opinions." But its Yahoo.cn operation has cooperated with Chinese authorities and filters its Chinese search results.
The Amnesty International report (click for PDF) includes no new information about the companies' cooperation with the Chinese government, which has been the subject of criticism from civil liberties groups and members of Congress.
In an e-mail to CNET News.com in response to the report, Google said it "respects the fact that people and organizations, including Amnesty, oppose our decision to launch a search service in China. Google believes that Google.cn will provide significant benefits to Chinese Internet users and that our engagement in China meaningfully expands access to information."
Earlier this year Google launched a filtered Google.cn search engine that does not display certain Web sites disliked by Chinese officials. (Google does inform users of the delistings.)
Yahoo, however, was singled out for particular criticism in the report. Paris-based Reporters Without Borders revealed in September 2005 that information provided by Yahoo was used to convict Shi Tao, a 37-year-old journalist, of leaking "state secrets." Then, in February, the group reported that Yahoo also turned over information that led to the arrest of Li Zhi, a 35-year-old former civil servant from the southwestern province of Dazhou. He was convicted and sentenced to an eight-year prison sentence in 2003.
In response to the new report, Yahoo said in a statement that it has been working with human-rights organizations and government officials to craft better industry policies in nations such as China.
"We continue to employ rigorous procedural protections under applicable laws in response to government requests for information, maintaining our commitment to user privacy and compliance with the law," the statement said. "And we will actively engage in ongoing policy dialogue with governments with respect to the nature of the Internet and the free flow of information."
Microsoft said it would be unable to comment on Wednesday.
Amnesty International hopes the timing of its report will provide additional momentum to a bill that a U.S. House of Representatives subcommittee approved last month. Titled the Global Online Freedom Act, it would slap restrictions on companies that do business with "Internet-restricting countries" and create a new federal bureaucracy to deal with the issue.
"The U.S. government has to get serious," said Mila Rosenthal, director of Amnesty International's business and human-rights program. "We haven't seen a lot of action in that department."

- One reason why these offshoot companies have this sort of problem is because they create, collect, organize and horde information and use it as a way to make money, and sometimes as a tool to a means. Google is sort of the ba--ard child of Microsoft, and what you get when you win on Microsoft's Antitrust bloated platform (metaphorically and truthfully speaking). What stinks is there are people in this world who will hurt you, and can glean personal information from Google's world organization of info. I think new laws should be enacted which would prohibit this behavior, and if a company harms people (in China, or you or anybody with such information - by organizing it, presenting it, and other people taking actions on it), and if that problem becomes chronic and ongoing, then such company should be given dissolution papers. America is so undervalued by people who build off of the corruptness of others. I think this is a very hot button reality that isn't going away tomorrow, and an important subject which should be raised in USA Congress over the coming years (I know I will be pushing for it). Maybe if new laws are enacted we can build a better tomorrow. So, let it be known the pessimistic and bad-people of the World always have a reason for keeping things heavily unequal. If that reason is tainted with even an ounce of mass-harm or hurt from past trust-related behavior issues, then they should be legally required to dissolute [the corporation].

- American Companies Should Fight Censorship
- It is really unfortunate that companies like Google and Yahoo are willing to compromise their values to do business with China. Amnesty International is absolutely valid in labelling their actions a human rights violation. Everyone should have the right to surf the internet privately and securely. I applaud companies like Anonymizer, that are actually combating censorship and offering an anti-censorship solution to the people of China. Lance Cottrell, President of Anonymizer, has been a major figure in fighting internet censorship and has offered anti-censorship solutions to censored people all over the world. Even more impressive, this anti-censorshio solution is made available to the people of China for free. All they have to do is go to www.zidanchun.com and register. So far, this campaign has been very successful!
