1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for measuring a thin film or layer thickness and, more particularly, to an electro-optical system which measures the thickness of an outer silicon layer of a silicon/silicon dioxide/silicon (Si/SiO2 /Si) structured semiconductor wafer.
2. Description of the Prior Art
In one particular application wherein the present invention is especially practical, a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) semiconductor wafer typically includes a Si/SiO2 /Si sandwich structure fabricated by growing a silicon dioxide film on one surface of each of two silicon wafers and bonding the two silicon dioxide film surfaces together at high temperature. It will be understood that other materials such as, for example, silicon nitride, may be used for the insulator material and that other materials may be used for the wafer material. In such an application, one of the two outer silicon surfaces of the sandwich structure is mechanically ground and polished to an average thickness of several microns. This mechanical process unfortunately results in large spatial variations in the thickness of this outer silicon layer over the surface of the wafer. To reduce these spatial variations, a thickness error map that indicates thickness non-uniformities of this outer silicon layer over the entire wafer surface, is required, for example, to initialize a further micropolishing process.
A sequence of measuring the spatial variations in the thickness of the outer silicon layer followed by thinning and smoothing this surface by micropolishing may need to be performed several times before the entire outer silicon layer achieves the desired thickness. In order to reduce costs and increase production, a measurement of at least 400 points on a wafer surface in 60 seconds is desirable.
Current commercial instruments, however, typically provide film thickness measurements at only a single point on a surface. These instruments use a focused lens or a fiber bundle to locally illuminate the film surface with a beam of monochromatic light, and a grating or prism spectrograph to measure the surface spectral reflectance at each point. In all cases, this surface spectral reflectance data must be numerically corrected due to variations in the angle of incidence caused by the illuminating beam f-number.
These commercial instruments may be extended to cover an entire wafer surface by moving either the measuring instrument or the wafer in a controlled manner. However, the time required for these instruments to determine the thin film layer thickness at a single point is on the order of several minutes and characterizing an entire film surface of at least 400 measurement points far exceeds the time desired for efficient wafer production.
The present invention contemplates an electro-optical imaging system for efficiently determining a thin film layer thickness of, for example, a wafer over a full aperture. Non-uniformities in this layer thickness are obtained by measuring the reflectance characteristics for a full aperture of a wafer surface and comparing this measured reflectance data to reference reflectance data by using numerical iteration or by using a calibration wafer having known layer thicknesses.
To efficiently measure the reflectance characteristics of a wafer layer, a filtered white light source is used to produce a sequence of collimated monochromatic light beams at several different wavelengths. These collimated monochromatic beams are individually projected onto the entire surface of the wafer, and coherent interactions occur between this light as it is reflected from the physical boundaries in the wafer structure. As a result of these interactions an interference fringe pattern is formed on the surface of the wafer for each projected beam and, consequently, for each wavelength. A reflected image of each fringe pattern is projected onto a detector array of, for example, a charge coupled device (CCD) camera, where the full aperture of this image is then captured. The fringe pattern image is captured by digitizing pixels in the CCD camera detector array corresponding to the image present. A reflectance map of the entire wafer surface is generated from this captured fringe pattern image. Several reflectance maps are generated from each measured wafer to eliminate thickness ambiguities which may result from outer layers having phase thicknesses greater than 2π.
The reference reflectance data for a wafer may be obtained by a theoretical calculation or through the use of a calibration wafer. The theoretical method consists of numerically computing reference reflectance characteristics based on assumed values of the intrinsic optical properties of the wafer materials. Alternatively, a calibration wafer, having a known thickness profile, may be constructed from the same batch of materials used to construct the wafer to be measured. By subjecting this calibration wafer to the measuring method of the present invention, reference reflectance data is obtained for the known wafer.
The comparison between the measured reflectance data and the reference reflectance data can then be performed by a computer. Upon performing this comparison, the computer can provide a mapping of layer thickness or a mapping of layer thickness non-uniformities over a full aperture of the wafer.
A primary objective of the present invention is to provide an economical means for measuring the outer layer thickness of a wafer surface.
Another objective of the present invention is to provide an efficient means for measuring layer thicknesses.
Another objective of the present invention is to provide a highly accurate means for measuring layer thicknesses.
Another objective of the present invention is to provide a means for measuring wafer layer thicknesses without mechanically scanning the wafer surface.
Another objective of the present invention is to provide a means for measuring layer thicknesses of thin film structures in general, provided that the structure materials are known and a sufficient number of wavelengths are used.
A still further objective of the present invention is to provide an economical means for measuring the outer silicon layer thickness of a SOI semiconductor wafer surface.

An electro-optical system for measuring a layer thickness of a wafer 24 is shown in FIG. 1. For the purposes of this description, the measurement of an outer silicon layer of a SOI semiconductor wafer 24 is described.
The present invention provides a white light source comprised of a circular aperture 14 illuminated by a halogen lamp 10 and a condensing lens 12. Light passing through aperture 14 impinges on a collimator lens 16 to form a beam 15 of collimated light. The size of the aperture 14 determines the field angles in the collimated light sections of the optical system and the orientation is chosen to allow an aperture image to be projected onto the SOI wafer 24. It should be noted that the condensing lens 12 may be replaced by a fiber optic light guide.
The white light source is spectrally filtered by a series of narrow band filters 17, nominally of 30 to 50 Å half bandwidth, placed in the collimated beam 15. The series of filters 17 are placed around the periphery of a rotating filter wheel assembly 18, whereby a corresponding series of collimated monochromatic light beams 19 are produced. The wavelengths of these collimated monochromatic light beams 19 range from 550 nm to 950 nm. Locating the filter wheel assembly 18 in a collimated light section 15 minimizes the spectral broadening of the filtered beam 19 caused by the field angle defined by the size of the aperture 14. A pair of electronic signals 32 are generated by the filter wheel assembly 18 to serve as a timing reference 33 for a digitizing circuit 34. One of these signals indicates the beginning of a filter wheel revolution, whereas the other signal indicates the beginning of each filter period.
A second collimator lens 20 forms a monochromatic image of the aperture 14 about a point 21 in a focal plane of a third collimator lens 22. This third collimator lens 22 produces a collimated beam 23 which illuminates the full aperture of the 100 millimeter diameter SOI wafer 24. Also, an extension of this wafer illumination technique to wafers of 150 millimeters or 200 millimeters in diameter requires that the size of the third collimator lens 22 match the wafer size. It should be noted that a monochromator can replace the halogen lamp 10, the condensing lens 12, the first two collimator lenses 16, 20, and the narrow band filter wheel 18, provided that the slewing rate of the monochromator between different wavelengths is sufficiently high, up to twenty different wavelengths in less than one second.
Referring to FIG. 2, a cross-sectional view of a SOI semiconductor wafer 24 is shown. This wafer 24 is constructed in a sandwich structure consisting of a mechanically polished outer silicon layer 40, an internal silicon dioxide (SiO2)film 42, and a silicon wafer substrate 44. This sandwich structure creates three interfaces 46, 48, 50 from which light, incident upon the outer silicon layer 40, may be reflected. The reflectance characteristics of these interfaces 46, 48, 50 are based upon the intrinsic optical and physical properties of the semiconductor materials in each layer 40, 42, 44 of the SOI wafer 24. These properties consist of the absorption coefficient, α, the index of refraction, n, and the thickness, t, of the material layers 40, 42, 44. For an SOI wafer, it is assumed that the absorption coefficient, α, of the SiO2 layer 42 is zero. However, in general it is permissible that the absorption coefficient be non-zero, provided that it is known.
When the surface of the SOI wafer 46 is illuminated with collimated monochromatic light from beam 23, a series of coherent interactions occur as this light is reflected between the three material interfaces 46, 48, 50 of the SOI structure 24. These interactions produce a wavelength dependent interference pattern that is visible upon the surface of the wafer. The reflectance at any point on the wafer is determined by the multiple reflections between the three surfaces and by the magnitudes of their physical properties, n1,α1,t1, and n2,α2,t2 as well as the properties of the substrate n8,α8. In the unique case of an SOI wafer structure, the substrate indices are identical to those of the outer film indices (n8 =n2,α8 =α2) since both are fabricated from single crystal silicon. The wafer reflectance at any wavelength can be calculated explicitly as a function of the outer film thickness if all the other parameters are known, however, the reverse problem of computing the thickness from a single measured reflectance is ambiguous. This ambiguity is created by the fact that as the outer film thickness is increased, the measured reflectance cycles between maximum and minimum values as the phase thickness (n2 t2) increases by π/4. This multi-valued problem clearly makes the computation of the value of t2 from a single reflectance measurement impossible. The use of multiple wavelength measurements can in principle overcome the multiple value problem but the wavelength dependent behavior of the material properties must be very accurately known otherwise large errors occur in the thickness computations.
An alternate approach is a statistical one where measured reflectance data at several wavelengths is compared on a least squares best fit basis with a library of computed spectral data at the same wavelengths. In the case of an SOI wafer, the library of spectra is computed for all values of the outer film thickness and the selection is made by choosing that outer film thickness which minimizes the least squares fit.
Referring back to FIG. 1, a collimated light image of the interference fringe pattern is reflected off the surface of the SOI wafer 24 and returned through the third collimator lens 22. This third collimator lens 22 projects a condensed image of the reflected fringe pattern upon an off-axis mirror 26. This mirror 26 is positioned at a point 25 in the focal plane of the third collimator lens 22, alongside the position of the aperture image at focal point 21. The separation of these two focal points 21, 25 may be controlled with a slight lateral shift in the optical axis of the third collimator lens 22 with respect to the optical axis of the condensing lens 12 and the first two collimator lenses 16, 20. Equivalently, the wafer 24 may be tilted through a small angle, less than one degree, to achieve this same effect. This image separation scheme avoids the use of a beamsplitter which contains metallic coatings with attendant optical losses.
The off-axis mirror 26 is used to redirect the reflected fringe pattern image from the wafer 24 to a final collimator lens 28. This final collimator lens 28 projects a collimated beam 29 containing an image of the fringe pattern onto a CCD camera detector array 31. It should be noted that the filter wheel assembly 18 may also be placed in this collimated beam 29 provided that the field angle, which is approximately fifteen times larger than the field angle in the collimated beam 23 illuminating the wafer 24, can be tolerated by the narrow band filters.
An alternate method of providing the reflected fringe pattern image to the CCD camera detector array 31 is shown in a dashed line block 61 in FIG. 1. An on-axis beamsplitter 60 is placed in the collimated light beam section 19 where the filter wheel assembly 18 is positioned. The beamsplitter 60 receives a collimated fringe pattern image from the second collimator lens 20 and reflects a portion 62 of this collimated beam to a final collimator lens 64. This final collimator lens 64 converges the fringe pattern image onto the CCD camera detector array 31. Although this alternate method results in optical losses which are inherent in beamsplitters, it does not require an image separation scheme which can introduce field angle errors in the collimated light beam 23 reflected from an off-axis SOI wafer 24. As with the previous method, the filter wheel assembly 18 may be placed in the collimated beam 62 reflected by the beamsplitter 60, provided that the field angle can be tolerated by the narrow band filters 17.
The determination of the method used to provide the reflected fringe pattern image to the CCD camera 30 is critically dependent upon tile optical performance of the third collimator lens 22. When using the off-axis mirror method, the optical design of the third collimator lens 22 must possess an optimal off-axis performance quality and provide a minimal radial color distortion effect. Optimal off-axis performance minimizes the distortion effects associated with field angles that are created when the collimated light beam 23 is reflected from an off-axis non-uniform surface of a SOI wafer 24. Also, the need for a consistent fringe pattern image size at the CCD camera detector array 31 requires radial color distortion correction over the wavelength region of the incident monochromatic light. When the on-axis beamsplitter method is used, however, only the radial color distortion correction requirement applies since the field angles produced in the collimated light beam 23 reflected from an on-axis SOI wafer surface 46 are negligible. Therefore, if the returned fringe pattern image is distorted due sub-optimal off-axis performance by the third collimator lens 22, then the off-axis mirror method is unsuitable and an on-axis beamsplitter 60 must be used.
Referring to FIG. 3, the CCD camera detector array 31 is shown with an image of a scaled SOI wafer outline 52, a pair of reference alignment images 54, and a pair of reference reflecting images 56, projected upon its surface. These reference images are formed by placing reference alignment marks and reference reflecting surfaces along the same plane as the surface of the SOI wafer 24. When illuminated with a collimated light beam 23 from the third collimator lens 22, these references provide reflections from their surfaces. Similar to the SOI wafer fringe pattern, images of these reflected references are returned through the third collimator lens 22 and are eventually projected upon the CCD camera detector array 31. The reference alignment marks provide aid in wafer alignment, whereas the reference reflecting surfaces serve to normalize the CCD signals so that actual wafer reflectances can be calculated.
Referring back to FIG. 1, the collimated beam 29 formed by the final collimator lens 28 contains an image of the reflected fringe pattern. This image is projected upon the CCD camera detector array 31 and captured by the CCD camera 30. A reflectance map is generated by digitizing the CCD pixel signals corresponding to the projected fringe pattern image with a digitizing circuit 34. This raw reflectance data may be normalized to eliminate variations in pixel sensitivity and may be reduced in size by averaging signals over blocks of pixels to match the spatial limitations of the subsequent chemical micropolishing process. In determining the thickness, t2, of the outer silicon layer of the SOI wafer 24, either a numerical computation method or a SOI calibration wafer may be used. Both of these methods require the use of a computer 36.
The numerical method of determining outer silicon layer thickness, t2, consists of assuming values for the thin film constants n1, α1, t1, n2, α2, n3, and α3 and calculating spectral reflectances for a set of wavelengths corresponding to the monochromatic light produced by the filtered white light source. This calculation is done for a number of different outer layer thicknesses, t2, and provided that the initial thin film constant assumptions are correct should only need to be computed once. This calculation provides sets of reflectance values, Rc (λ1, λ2, . . . λn,t2) for thicknesses ranging from the thinnest t the thickest estimated value of the outer silicon layer. These computed spectral reflectances are then compared with the measured reflectance data, Rm (λ1, λ2, . . . λn,t2), at specific points on the wafer using a root mean square (rms) merit function of the form ##EQU1## This merit function is evaluated for different values of t2 until a minimum or best match is found, which in turn indicates the most likely thickness. It is, of course, apparent that other pattern matching merit functions can be used, if desired.
Unknown variations in any of the assumed thin film constants may cause errors to propagate through the computation process as outer layer thickness errors. Such first order error sources include the lack of knowledge of the SiO2 inner film thickness, t1, over the wafer aperture and the dispersive effects of the silicon index of refraction, n1. If the value of the merit function is too large, indicating a poor match, then new computed spectral reflectances will have to be generated for a closer set of t2 thicknesses, iterated with the absorption coefficients α2, α3, and the indices of refraction n2, n3, of the outer silicon layer 40 and the silicon substrate 44, respectively, or the index of refraction, n1, and the thickness, t1, of the SiO2 layer 42.
The second method of determining outer silicon layer thickness is to generate a set of spectral reflectances from a SOI calibration wafer 58 containing a stepped outer surface, as shown in FIG. 4, where each square area 59 of the wafer has a different known outer silicon layer thickness. It is preferred that the wafer have at least 500 reference squares to cover the likely range of outer layer thicknesses. This wafer 58 can be calibrated for outer silicon layer thicknesses down to zero silicon thickness by using a stylus profilometer. The calibration wafer 58 is manufactured from the same batch of materials and is subject to the same manufacturing conditions as the wafer 24 under measurement. Consequently, the intrinsic optical properties of the calibration wafer such as the absorption coefficient and the index of refraction, and also the dispersive behavior should match those of the wafer 24 being tested.
The spectral reflectances of the calibration wafer 58 are obtained by subjecting this wafer to the measuring method of the present invention. These spectral reflectances are stored in the computer 36 and are used as a reference for comparison with the spectral reflectances of a measured SOI wafer 24. The calibration wafer 58 has reference reflectances for at least 500 different outer silicon layer thicknesses and the reference reflectance that most closely matches the reflectance at any point on the surface of the measured SOI wafer 24 indicates the outer silicon layer thickness at that point.
Although both of these methods meet the objective of providing a 400 point measurement of outer silicon layer thickness in less than 60 seconds, the calibration wafer method is potentially more accurate than the numerical approach due to the similarity of the intrinsic optical properties between the calibration wafer 58 and the SOI wafer 24 to be measured. However, the calibration wafer method would require on-line production capability to generate a new calibration wafer 58 if the basic wafer process is significantly altered.

Comments Thread For: Team Rigondeaux: Top Rank Cannot Violate its Word
Gary Hyde, the manager of junior featherweight titleholder Guillermo Rigondeaux, informed BoxingScene.com that his client is first in line to face the reigning king of the division, Nonito Donaire.
Rigondeaux (11-0, 8 KOs) has been the frontrunner to land the Apr. 13 bout, but fellow 122-pound titlist Abner Mares and his team have made their case to face Donaire (31-1, 20 KOs).
This past weekend, Golden Boy, promoter of Mares (25-0, 13 KOs), sent a contract offer to Donaires handlers for a sum of $3 million. BoxingScene.com obtained a copy of the contract and posted it online earlier on Tuesday.

True that. Donaire ain't fighting for Golden boy on showtime.

Well said Mr. Hyde!
Donaire has to fight the best guy, and the best guy is Rigo. After that who cares what he does. But Rigo is a lot better than Mares, more skilled, more dangerous.
If Donaire is a real man he fights Rigo. If he wants an easy non-competitive fight go with Mares.
Rigo signed a contract just to fight Donaire. TR should honor that ASAP.

Pretty sure Top Rank could do just that but they probably won't since they got plenty of heat over this, so fighting Rigondeaux gets people to shut up a bit.
Rigondeaux should send Schaeffer a fruit basket or at least a thank you card~

Gary Hyde is lying. Top Rank has a contract with Rigo to make the fight against Donaire but it doesn't specify the date!!! Therefore, there's absolutely nothing binding Top Rank to make the Nonito vs Guillermo fight in April!!!

The first Flickr shots of Swimming Cities of Switchback Sea are trickling inand holy crap, this two-part Long Island City show is going to be awesome. On August 15, street-art doyenne Swoon sets sail down the East River with a gang of artist pals and their seven-ship flotilla of elaborately constructed vesselsthink Huck Finn rafts, Flying Neutrinos riverboats, and the theme-park props from Pirates of the Caribbean. Tonight, after six stops from Troy to Nyack, the fleet docks at its final destination: an East River spot next to Deitch Studios, where playwright Lisa DAmour will stage a nautically themed performance. Meanwhile, inside the gallery, Deitch hosts a full exhibition of Swoons most recent portraits. Confidential to paint-tossing villain the Splasher: Stay the fuck away!

Statement from the Desmond & Leah Tutu Legacy Foundation
Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu was pleased to learn of the recent judgement of the Supreme Court of India setting aside the death sentences imposed on 15 convicted criminals.
However, while the judgment entrenched the constitutional rights of all citizens of Indian – even those found guilty of heinous crimes – to fair and humane treatment, it stopped short of outlawing the death penalty.
"The ghastly truth is that the primary reason for the court commuting the death penalties in most of these cases was that the prisoners were not executed within a reasonable quick time period," Archbishop Tutu said.
Appeal processes led to the condemned men spending up to 12 years awaiting execution. The imposition of the death penalty did not entitle authorities to further punish or torture condemned prisoners, the court held. They were entitled to a reasonably quick process.
Archbishop Tutu said: "India is a remarkable country that has many lessons to teach the rest of the world about compassion and our shared humanity. For such a country to continue to legitimise killing is incongruous and unseemly – besides being barbaric.
"The death penalty diminishes the humanity of societies that continue to practice it. God made human beings for inter-dependency and love. What distinguishes us from other species is our intrinsic ability to reach out, reconcile and forgive.
"The death penalty does not address the root causes for anti-social behavior and it does not deter others people from committing crime. It is cruel and inhuman, and should be scrapped," Archbishop Tutu said.

The arrival of Rich Rodriguez, Jeff Casteel and the rest of the coaching staff brought a new system and philosophy, both of which opened the door for numerous players who would have never gained playing time in the Mike Stoops' era.
One such player that not only forced his way into the rotation as a walk-on, but eventually started, was Sir Thomas Jackson.
The freshman finished sixth on the team in total tackles with 58 – five of which came behind the line of scrimmage – and collected 1.5 sacks. Jackson's performance was somewhat surprising to most fans, but he feels he has become an even better player since that point.
"I'm ten times better than I was last year I feel," Jackson said. "My body improved a lot, I put on more muscle -- like 10-15 pounds – I got quicker and improved, most importantly, my feel of the game and my mind."
Spring practice can be intense with position competition, but Jackson sees it differently. To the soon-to-be sophomore, the entire team is working together, even in the spring, to improve as a unit rather than individually.
"We're all trying to get better," Jackson said. "It's really not competition. It's spring ball. We're all working for one common goal: To get better as a team."
Jackson has had the benefit of playing alongside an experienced player in fellow linebacker Jake Fischer. The opportunity to line up next to Fischer has been huge for Jackson, who loves what his teammate brings to the field.
"It helps me a lot," Jackson said. "The intensity of the game, he brings everything out there. I feel like I owe him because he's a senior."
Improvement is something every quality football player strives for and while Jackson knows he has progressed as a player, there is one area he feels he needs to continue to improve in.
"My pass drops," Jackson said. "Going into coverage is where I want to improve the most."
After a year in the 3-3-5 scheme, Jackson has been able to evaluate where he stands as a player. His fundamentals have improved more than anything in his eyes and he has become stronger.
"I've improved my technique taking on blocks and being more physical," Jackson said.
The beginning of spring practice in 2012 was rough for virtually everyone on the Arizona roster. A year later and Jackson feels a lot better as the experience helped ease some of his nerves.
"Way more comfortable than last year," Jackson said. "It's like night and day now. I am more confident than I was last year. I was jittery and didn't want to mess up because I was starting as a walk-on."
With several months to go until the beginning of the 2013 season, Jackson understands there is still a long way to go for the team to be where it needs to be physically.
The linebacker sees playing in the heat as an advantage during the spring as it could help the team's physical preparation for the upcoming campaign.
"Get in better shape; all of us," Jackson said. "We're in good shape now, but we can take that next step to become the best in the Pac-12 with how much we work. So, we have to advance with everything.
"We got the sun out here; I'm not from here. I am from Seattle, Washington. We get rain all the time. So when I am out here in the spring and it's hot like this, I feel we can gain an advantage."

The Branded Entertainment Awards has six. Also, you're mistaken. AWARD isn't cheaper. According to the AWARD website, entries are priced at $300 and $400. Looking more widely, the B&T Awards charge $275 per entry. I can't find the price for the last Adnews Awards, but two years ago they were charging $242.

About the Owner
13 Reviews
4.9 based on 13 traveler reviews
I really needed a vacation this year so I took two weeks off and stayed at the Rocky Neck Studio Apartment. It was perfect. I could stay low key and relax or paint the town red. The view from the apartment is amazing, night or day. I could walk down the road, maybe 3 minutes, have a cup of coffee and breakfast. There are a number of art galleries to check out, two beaches in walking distance or a 5 minute drive to the bigger one, Niles Beach. Great restaurants, fun shops and beautiful water views. The owners were fantastic. Nothing I requested was a bother. Always accessible, great on suggestions and directions. The apartment was very clean with comfortable sleeping accommodations, a full Kitchen, walk-in closet, there is a table and chairs outside where you look out over the water. I hated to leave.
Perfect Vacation Studio!!!
Lovely studio apartment located in the beautiful artists village on Rocky Neck in Gloucester. Minutes from great beaches, whale watches, fishing and the best restaurants on the North Shore. We spent three wonderful weeks and enjoyed every moment there. The owners are most gracious and wonderful hosts. Looking forward to returning next summer.
Better Impossible!
This apartment was perfect for what we were looking for, small but well distributed so it doesn't feel crowded. Walking distance from the beach, nice restaurants and galleries, and with an awesome view. The owners made us feel totally welcome giving us the space we needed but being available and helpful when required! I wouldn't stay somewhere else if I am back in the area
We love this place!
This studio is cozy and clean.The perfect place for my husband and I to stay while we visit family in the area. I love waking up in the morning to the beautiful ocean views! Rocky Neck is a great place to visit because of it's many artist galleries and restaurants. We have stayed here a few times and we will continue to do so. It's our home away from home.
Warm and Friendly Visit
We chose to stay here because we were offered a great price and an extra day.
My husband and I were celebrating our 31st Anniversary and we wanted to Explore
Gloucester. We loved staying at this cozy little apt. It was nice being able to cook and relax, outside in their cute bistro style setting outside the apt.(not to mention FULL SUN warming us the entire visit.)
We would recommend this stay to anyone. The Owners were very friendly and we were sad to have to go back to Central NY where it was snowing. It was a Great trip all in all.
Wonderful and relaxing week in a beautiful place
This is a cozy getaway in an idyllic setting!The place is immaculate and up to date and the kitchen is well stocked. You can watch the sunrise from the front step with your morning coffee and then walk 10 minutes or so to a gorgeous beach.
The immediate area has a nice restaurant/bar up the street, an ice cream place across the street, and plenty of galleries to amble through if you like art. Beyond the immediate area it is a short drive into town or to Rockport where there are all kinds of shops, Whale Watches, historic homes and many different types of restaurants.
The owners are very nice and are accessible if you need them but they don't loom. They provided us with spot-on activity and dining recommendations.
It was a great week and we would go back in a heartbeat!
Activity and Interests
Rocky Neck has been called America's oldest working art colony, Gloucester its oldest working seaport. Our apartment is right in the thick of things, a bustling place on a summer weekend evening, contrasting with the serenity of a silent sunrise reflecting on the cove.
Autumn is a spectacular time, less people, great dawns and reflective sunsets. Winter brings a cozy seclusion for a true retreat. Spring sees the earlier bright dawn and the belated budding of trees. Each season offers its own gifts to enjoy.
Connected to the mainland by a causeway, you can circumnavigate Rocky Neck by foot within minutes, not hours. In summer on the Neck you will find many artists' galleries, three seasonal restaurants, a coffee shop and an ice cream parlor, along with a full complement of colorful characters and views. Some galleries are open year-round.
Across the causeway, within easy walking distance, is a convenience store with homemade soups and sandwiches, and the Gloucester Stage Company theater.
A short drive, bike ride or leisurely walk away is Good Harbor Beach, one of the
best-rated beaches in the Boston area.
There are many activities during the summer months, including St. Peter's Fiesta in June, the Horribles parade and fireworks on July 3rd, the sidewalk bazaar, Rocky Neck Beaux Arts Ball and Waterfront Festival in August, and the schooner races over Labor Day weekend, just to name a few.

Small is Beautiful: 100 Miniature Shrines Exhibit
by Joanne Frewer
Exhibit: Sept. 1 – 29, 2016
Included with Garden Admission | Free for Garden Members
Opening Reception: Thursday Sept. 8, 2016 | 4-6pm
Included with Garden Admission | Free for Garden Members
"SMALL IS BEAUTIFUL. Look closely and find stillness, grace, humor and so many little surprises." – Joanne Frewer
The inspiration for a series of miniature dioramas was born when Joanne saw a scene in her home in a fresh way. The juxtaposition of a Buddha in front of a painting made it seem like he was sitting on the beach. Her imagination firing, she thought "What if the Buddha went to the beach? What if he was a part of daily life?" This led to her first series of 100 shrines and a project now ten years in the making.
She never really understood her passion for shrine-making until she met a Buddhist teacher who said, 'when you make Buddhist art, you become it and it heals you.' She then realized it was part of the healing process for the passing of her dear brother.
Ten years later, shrine-making has transformed into an artistic meditation. There is a serenity and rhythm to the process. "You can't hurry with miniatures. It takes days to make each one and to place all the tiny pieces. It taught me to slow down," she says.
Creation starts by browsing her collection of thousands of miniatures sourced from all over the world.
Now on her third series of shrines, making 300 unique pieces and counting, she returns to exhibit in the appropriately named "Hall of 100 Rivers" at the Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden.
What people have said about Joanne's work:
"Artist Joanne Frewer has constructed a collection of handmade shadow boxes containing miniature detailed scenes with Buddha, Kuan Yin and other deities. Each box draws you into a world where you might meet Buddha in Mexico or in his kitchen, or the God of Wealth in a forest. Created as a way to commemorate a beloved brother, each work is an expression of serenity and joy". - Kathy Gibler, former Executive Director of Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden.
"Joanne Frewer's intricate handmade shadow boxes pull you into a detailed miniature world where deities roam…" - Georgia Straight, 2009

"There was Mucous Coming Our of Their Mouth[s]," Says One Sweat Lodge Survivor
"Spiritual Warrior" James Arthur Ray
Beverly Bunn, the Texas orthodontist who seems to be the only victim speaking out about the infamous sweat lodge tragedy that left three people dead, appeared on CBS' The Early Show this morning and painted an even more gruesome picture of what happened two weeks ago in Sedona than was originally known.
You can check the video out here.
Bunn, a medical professional, called the scene within the sweat tent a "triage situation" and says she was kept from helping those who needed it.
"It was a crisis situation...it was a total triage situation. There were many people lying around who were not conscious. I saw people with mucous coming out of their nose[s]...mucous coming out of their mouth[s]. I saw their eyes rolled backin their head[s]," she says in an interview with Harry Smith.

She also says one man's eyes were completely red because all the blood vessels had burst.
We're kind of shocked organizer James Ray didn't try to spin that into some sort of bloody-tear biblical self-help bullshit.
Bunn wept her way through six chilling minutes and finish by saying she felt abandoned by "self-help" guru Ray.
According to Bunn, the "spiritual warrior" and his "dream team" went on with business as usual -- dinner at 6:30 p.m. and at about 11 p.m., the group was told that two people were dead and several were injured.
Then, "warrior" that he is, Ray split for California, not to be heard from again with the exception of a short conference call with some survivors about four days later.
"I was abandoned, as well as everybody else was abandoned," she sobbed. "And we never saw James Ray again."
Given the circumstances, never seeing James Ray again is probably the best thing that could have happened.
This gets crazier by the day.
