The present invention is directed to semiconductor devices and, more specifically, to semiconductor devices including thyristor-based memory and to carbon lifetime adjustment implants to enhance leakage currents and stabilize operations thereof.
The semiconductor industry has recently experienced technological advances that have permitted dramatic increases in integrated circuit density and complexity, and equally dramatic decreases in power consumption and package sizes. Present semiconductor technology may now permit single-die microprocessors with many millions of transistors, operating at speeds of hundreds of millions of instructions per second, to be packaged in relatively small semiconductor device packages. As the use of these devices has become more prevalent, the demand for faster operation and better reliability has increased.
An important part in the circuit design, construction, and manufacture of semiconductor devices concerns semiconductor memories; the circuitry used to store digital information. Conventional random access memory devices may include a variety of circuits, such as SRAM and DRAM circuits. SRAMs are mainly used in applications that require a high random access speed and/or a CMOS logic compatible process. DRAMs, on the other hand, are mainly used for high-density applications where the slow random access speed of DRAM can be tolerated.
Some SRAM cell designs may be based on NDR (Negative Differential Resistance) devices. They usually consist of at least two active elements, including an NDR device. The NDR device is important to the overall performance of this type of SRAM cell. A variety of NDR devices have been introduced ranging from a simple bipolar transistor to complicated quantum-effect devices. One advantage of the NDR-based cell is the potential of having a cell area smaller than conventional SRAM cells (e.g., either 4 T or 6 T cells) because of the smaller number of active devices and interconnections. Many of the NDR-based SRAM cells, however, have many problems that have prohibited their use in commercial SRAM products. Some of these problems include: high standby power consumption due to the large current needed in one or both of the stable states of the cell; excessively high or excessively low voltage levels needed for the cell operation; stable states that are too sensitive to manufacturing variations and provide poor noise-margins; limitations in access speed due to slow switching from one state to the other; limitations in operability due to temperature, noise, voltage and/or light stability and manufacturability and yield issues due to complicated fabrication processing.
A novel type of NDR-based SRAM ("TCCT RAM") has been recently introduced that can potentially provide the speed of conventional SRAM at the density of DRAM in a CMOS compatible process. This new SRAM cell uses a thin capacitively-coupled NDR device and more specifically a thin capacitively-coupled thyristor ("TCCT") to form a bi-stable element for the SRAM cell. For more details of specific examples of this new device, reference may be made to: "A Novel High Density, Low Voltage SRAM Cell With A Vertical NDR Device," VLSI Technology Technical Digest, June, 1998; "A Novel Thyristor-based SRAM Cell (T-RAM) for High-Speed, Low-Voltage, Giga-Scale Memories," International Electron Device Meeting Technical Digest 1999, and "A Semiconductor Capacitively-Coupled NDR Device And Its Applications For High-Speed High-Density Memories And Power Switches," PCT Int'l Publication No. WO 99/63598, corresponding to U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/092,449, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,229,161. Each of these documents is incorporated by reference in its entirety.
An important design consideration in any type of thyristor-based memory cell, including the TCCT RAM cell, is the holding current of the thyristor. The holding current of the thyristor is the minimum current that may keep the thyristor in the forward conducting state. This holding current has to be sufficiently low so that the memory cell may have an acceptable standby current. For example, a holding current larger than a few—nano-Amperes per cell could significantly impact its power dissipation and limit the maximum capacity of a thyristor-based memory.
Another important consideration when using a thyristor-based memory cell is the sensitivity of the blocking state of the thyristor to various adverse conditions such as noise, light, anode-to-cathode voltage changes and high temperatures. These sensitivities can affect the operation of the thyristor, which may result in undesirable turn-on and may disrupt the contents of the memory cell.
During manufacture of the memory various doping, implant, activation and anneal procedures may be performed. Additionally, masking may be used during patterning for the doping and implant provisions, as well as for patterning for other structures, such as polysilicon for the electrodes. A number of procedures—e.g., patterning, masking, doping, implanting, siliciding annealing, etc.—during fabrication of the thyristor memory may contribute to its overall complexity, cost and size. Accordingly, manufactures may strive to reduce the number of procedures in an overall fabrication for streamlining manufacturing and lowering costs.
In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, a semiconductor device may include a layer of semiconductor material with a thyristor formed therein. The thyristor may comprise at least one emitter-base junction with carbon disposed across the base-emitter junction. In a particular aspect, the carbon may comprise a density and/or annealed structure across the junction sufficient to establish a low-voltage, leakage characteristic substantially greater than the leakage characteristic therefore absent the carbon. In a further embodiment, the thyristor may comprise N-P-N-P doped regions in a layer of silicon for respective cathode, P-base, N-base, and anode regions. Each of the base-emitter junctions, for the respective anode to N-base and cathode to P-base boundaries may comprise carbon-silicon self-interstitial type defects for effecting the low-level leakage characteristics. In yet a further embodiment, the density of the carbon and/or the annealed structure thereof, within at least one base-emitter junction, may be sufficient to substantially reduce the gain of a bipolar transistor associated with junction within the thyristor relative to the gain therefore absent the carbon.
In accordance with another embodiment of the present invention, a thyristor memory device may comprise a thyristor in semiconductor material having an anode/cathode, a cathode/anode, and first and second base regions disposed between the anode/cathode and the cathode/anode. The first base-emitter junction may be defined between the anode/cathode and the first base region. A second base-emitter junction region may be defined between the cathode/anode and the second base. Carbon-type defects may be disposed within the first base-emitter junction. Further, the carbon-type defects may comprise an average diameter less than a nanometer. In a particular embodiment, the carbon-type defects may be formed by an anneal of the semiconductor material while the carbon is disposed therein. Further, the carbon-type defects may comprise a density and be formed using a temperature and duration for the anneal sufficient to establish a non-ideal I-V characteristic for the junction in its lower-voltage bias region. In yet a further embodiment, a bipolar transistor of a thyristor associated with the first base-emitter junction region may comprise a gain of magnitude substantially less than the ideal gain therefore absent the carbon-type defects.
In another embodiment of the present invention, a semiconductor memory device may comprise an access transistor formed in semiconductor material. A capacitively-coupled thyristor may be accessible via the access transistor and may comprise a cathode/anode region also formed in the semiconductor material and electrically coupled to a drain/source region of the access transistor. At least one base-emitter junction of the capacitively-coupled thyristor may be disposed electrically in series with the anode/cathode as formed in the semiconductor material. Further, carbon may be disposed in the base-emitter junction region to establish a leakage parameter therefore. In a particular embodiment, the carbon may be implanted with an implant dosage and processed with anneal temperature sufficient for creating carbon-silicon, self-interstitial type complexes within the base-emitter junction region for reducing a lifetime of minority carriers therein. In a further embodiment, the carbon-silicon self-interstitial type complexes may define a lifetime parameter for minority carriers within the base-emitter junction region with a magnitude substantially less than that for intrinsic silicon.
In yet a further embodiment of the present invention, a method of fabricating a semiconductor device may comprise implanting dopant into semiconductor material for forming at least one of anode, N-base, P-base and cathode regions for a thyristor. Carbon may be implanted into select regions of the semiconductor material and across at least one of a first junction region and a third junction region. The first junction region may comprise an area between the anode and N-base regions, while the third junction region may comprise an area between the cathode and P-base regions. During the implanting of the carbon, a mask may be disposed over the semiconductor material to protect (from the carbon implant) a second junction region formed between the N-base and P-base regions. Additionally, the semiconductor material may be annealed to activate the dopant implants and to form carbon-type defects from the implanted carbon across the at least one of the first and third junction regions. In a further embodiment, the carbon may be implanted across each of the first and the third junction regions. Additionally, the activation of dopant and the formation of the carbon-type defects may share a common anneal.
In a further embodiment, the implanting of the carbon into the semiconductor material may comprise using an edge of a mask for an alignment of the carbon implant. Additionally, an angle and energy of incidence for the implanting of the carbon may define a lateral extent therefore beneath the mask to be less than that for an implant of the N-base region. In a particular aspect of one embodiment, the density and/or anneal for the carbon implants may be sufficient to effect a low-voltage leakage characteristic in one of the first and third junctions to be substantially greater than the leakage therefore absent the carbon. Additionally, the density and/or anneal for the carbon implants may establish a gain for at least one of the bipolar transistors associated with the thyristor that may be substantially less than the gain therefore absent the carbon over its low-bias range.
Subject matter of embodiments of the present invention may be understood by reference to the following detailed description and with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
In the description that follows, readily established circuits and procedures for the exemplary embodiments may be disclosed in simplified form (e.g., simplified block diagrams and/or simplified description) to avoid obscuring an understanding of the embodiments with excess detail and where persons of ordinary skill in this art can readily understand their structure and formation by way of the drawings and disclosure. For the same reason, identical components may be given the same reference numerals, regardless of whether they are shown in different embodiments of the invention.
Embodiments of the present invention may be applicable to a variety of different types of thyristor-based memories, and have been found to be particularly useful for such devices benefiting from improved stability in the presence of disturbing environmental conditions such as high temperature, noise, voltage changes and light. While the present invention is not necessarily limited to such devices, various aspects of the invention may be appreciated through a discussion of various examples of this context.
As used herein, "substrate" or substrate assembly may be meant to include, e.g., a portion of a semiconductor wafer. Such portion may have one or more layers of material including, but not limited to Si, Ge, SiGe, and all other semiconductors that have been formed on or within the substrate. Layered semiconductors comprising the same or different semi-conducting material such as Si/Si, Si/SiGe and silicon-on-insulator (SOI) may also be included. These layers and/or additional layers may be patterned and/or may comprise dopants to produce devices (e.g., thyristors, transistors, capacitors, interconnects, etc.) for an integration of circuitry. In forming these devices, one or more of the layers may comprise topographies of various heights. When referencing this integration of circuitry, therefore, it may be described as integrated together, on or with the substrate.
Furthermore, those skilled in the art will recognize that although embodiments of the present invention may describe fabrication for a particular sequence of dopant polarities, these dopant type(s) and the doped regions of a substrate may be reversed to form devices of opposite relative conductivity types—e.g., an N-type MOS transistor might be fabricated in such alternative embodiment for opposite conductivity type dopants so as to realize a P-type MOS transistor. Likewise, a thyristor may be described for an embodiment with an order of anode-emitter, N-base, P-base and cathode-emitter, wherein the anode-emitter may be attached, e.g., to a reference voltage and the cathode-emitter may be in common with a source/drain region of an access transistor. It will be understood that for the opposite relative conductivity embodiments, the cathode-emitter might be electrically coupled to a reference voltage and the anode-emitter in common with an access transistor of opposite type channel.
As referenced herein, portions of (e.g., a transistor or thyristor) may be described as being formed in, at or on a semiconductor substrate. Such alternative terms in/at/on may be used individually merely for purposes of convenience. In the context of forming semiconductor devices, such terms may collectively reference portions of a semiconductor element that may be within and/or on a starting material.
According to one embodiment, a thyristor-based memory application may provide stable operation over a range of conditions, which may include noise, radiation, and deviation in voltage and temperature. A base region in one or both ends of the anode and cathode portions of the thyristor may include a shunting element to shunt a low-level current, which may enhance the thyristor's immunity to environmental influences and assure that transitions between on and off states occur only in response to appropriate write and/or access control signals.
In another embodiment, a thyristor-based memory may comprise an array of memory cells. A memory cell of the array may comprise a capacitively-coupled thyristor and a transistor to selectively access the thyristor. The thyristor may comprise anode and cathode end portions and each end portion may include an emitter region and a base region in contact with the emitter region. To enhance stability of operation and reliability for data retention of the thyristor, a current-shunt may shunt a low-level leakage current through a base region, which in turn may guard against inadvertent switching of states.
Various designs for low-level current shunts may employ different mechanisms for stabilizing thyristor operations. In general, the current shunt may establish a holding-current sufficient for maintaining the thyristor in an ON condition; and to guard against its inadvertent switching from an OFF state to an ON state in the presence of environmental influences. At the same time, the design may also consider aims to limit power dissipation.
Selection of the particular current shunt, its construction and location may be based upon the design considerations of a given application. In some embodiments, the shunt may be disposed between or across a boundary of a base region and its adjacent emitter region. In other embodiments, the shunt may be disposed between a base region and a separate node (e.g., internal, external or common to many cells) that may receive an appropriate voltage (higher or equal to the voltage of the adjacent emitter) sufficient for drawing the low-level current. Combinations of these approaches might also be used.
Various materials and processes can be used to form the shunt. For example, a high-resistivity material, such as undoped or lightly doped polysilicon or amorphous silicon can be used. This approach is compatible with mainstream silicon CMOS technology. Alternatively, a low resistance material can be used for the shunt, which may form a low-resistance contact to one region while forming a high-resistance contact to another region. For example, some materials are capable of providing an ohmic contact to a highly doped region, such as emitter region 112, while providing a high-resistance contact to base region 114.

The above and other examples may be applicable to a variety of semiconductor implementations and applications, including an embodiment represented by
For particular embodiments, the effective minority carrier lifetime in the low lifetime region 750 across the base-emitter boundary may be realized by a variety of different methods. For example, poly-crystalline, amorphous, or re-crystallized material may be formed in the region to affect the leakage characteristics across the base-emitter junction. Crystalline damage may be formed by particle irradiation or ion implantation. In further embodiments, the incorporation of species into the silicon may lower the lifetime of the minority carriers and will affect leakage. These species may include, e.g., Germanium, Gold, and Platinum. In a particular embodiment, the lifetime adjustment implant species may comprise carbon, as will be described more fully hereinafter.
In accordance with another embodiment, referencing
Although they are not shown specifically in
In some embodiments, the MOSFET 973 and thyristor 902 may be formed in a SOI substrate. Such devices may show lower parasitic junction capacitances, better on/off isolation and better sub-threshold swings in comparison to their bulk counterparts. But, because of the thin silicon layer of the SOI structure, these devices may use silicide to lower the resistance of certain regions. For example, thyristor memory 900 as represented by
During the formation of the silicide regions, temperatures may be used of magnitude sufficient to diffuse metal into the silicon. Although the magnitude of the siliciding temperature (e.g., 600 degrees Celsius) may be lower than those for activating dopants (e.g. 1050 degrees Celsius), these silicide anneal temperatures may, for certain embodiments, affect boundaries for the different implant regions of the thyristor and/or MOSFET. Accordingly, certain embodiments may provide for structures and fabrication methods capable of accommodating the magnitude of the anneal temperatures and/or durations (i.e., thermal budget) so as to control the migration of implants. Embodiments may also use geometries sufficient to accommodate deviations in implant diffusion, as may be affected by the dopant activation(s), silicide anneals and/or other temperature exposures.
Turning back with reference to
In further embodiments, the carbon implants for the lifetime adjustment may be annealed at temperatures associated with dopant activation. The high temperature of the activation anneal may serve as one of the primary controlling parameters of the lifetime adjustment. The concentration of the carbon implants may also serve as another controlling parameter for establishing the leakage or lifetime properties within the low-lifetime region. With such embodiment(s), it may be appreciated that the embodiments with the carbon implants may be reasonably robust to other thermal cycles (which may have temperatures substantially less than that of the dopant activation) through a remainder of the device fabrication. By such leakage controlling effects of the high temperature activation, the other lower-level thermal procedures may have nominal affect over the resulting leakage characteristics. This may allow for greater predictability in the resulting characteristics of the devices produced and perhaps assist a greater production yield.
Further referencing
Halo implants might also be formed around the gate electrodes—i.e, between or proximate the extension regions 976, 978 and the body region. In a particular embodiment, the halo implants may be formed with, e.g., boron implanted with a given implant angle.
Although particular magnitudes may be described for the doping levels, material thickness, extents and dimensions for given embodiments; it will be understood that these magnitude may be merely exemplary and that alternative magnitudes may be available therefore—e.g., alternative parameters for the oxide thickness, implant species or densities as may be used for defining these devices of alternative specifications. For example, in some embodiments, substrate 966 may comprise an SOI substrate with a silicon layer of about 1000 angstroms. The gate dielectric may comprise a thermal oxide of about 2 nanometers, and the N-type extension regions may be formed from a species of arsenic implanted with, e.g., a 7 degree angle.
After defining the extensions and halos, a dielectric such as nitride may be formed conformal to and over the substrate and electrodes. An anisotropic etch may be used to etch the dielectric and form sidewall spacers 935 against sidewalls of the electrodes. In some embodiments, sidewall spacers may be formed while masking regions of the substrate for the thyristor.

In alternative embodiments of the present invention, the deep level implants may be performed in a later stage of the fabrication flow, e.g., block 1006. For such embodiment, the thyristor implants for N-base region 914, anode-emitter region 912 and lifetime adjustment may be performed before the implants to the deep level regions.
In yet a further embodiment of the present invention, the deep level implants for the source/drain regions for the MOSFET may be performed in-situ or in common with the implants for formation of anode-emitter region 912.

For example, in another embodiment, the implant for the N-base may use an implant species of arsenic, an implant angle of about 30 degrees, energy of about 10 keV, and dosage of about 1�10^15 per centimeter square, twisted.

After implanting regions for N-base 914 and anode-emitter region 912, photoresist 977 may be removed. As mentioned previously, in accordance with some embodiments of the present invention, the deep level implants (1006 of
In other embodiments, the deep level source/drain regions may have already been formed and fabrication may continue with implanting of the lifetime adjustment species. For such embodiments, an anneal for the dopant activations may use temperatures, e.g., 1050 degrees Celcius, greater than those tolerable by typical photoresist. Accordingly, for the lifetime adjustment implant to use the same mask for the alignment and definition of the extent for the lifetime adjustment region, the implant species selected (e.g., carbon) may need to tolerate the high temperatures that may be associated with the dopant activation anneal and, at the same time, lend leakage qualities for thyristor stability.

In a particular embodiment, implant 970 may use a species of carbon, an implant energy of about 13 keV, angle of 45 degrees, and dosage of about 5�10^15 atoms per centimeter square, twisted. Being twisted, shadowed regions may thus receive an effective dosage of about one-half that of the overall dosage. In other words, for this example, regions beneath an edge of a mask may receive a dosage of about 2.5�10^15 atoms per centimeter square.

For purposes of the present disclosure, it may be useful to theorize that certain types of lifetime adjustment implants of damaging type impact may form relatively large "macro" defects. These might be measured, e.g., with an average diameter of about 1 to 10 nm.
For other types of lifetime adjustments, carbon, e.g., may be used as a lifetime adjustment species and may be implanted and/or annealed to form lifetime adjustment sites of "micro" defects. These "micro" defects may be described with an average diameter less than the "macros"—e.g., less than 1 nm. By such "micro" defects and an appropriate density therefore, leakage affects might be more reliably established across depletion regions of small geometry. In one example, carbon may be implanted sufficiently for achieving a density thereof of about 10^19 atoms per centimeter cube.

In the event additional duration or temperature may be needed for the lifetime adjustment anneal, it may be performed (block 1212) before other CMOS processes (block 1206) and logic device dopant activation (block 1208).

After siliciding the exposed regions, additional backend processing of the semiconductor device may continue for interconnecting the different devices and transistors with other elements (not shown) of the semiconductor device. Through such additional backend processing, e.g., insulating materials may be formed over the structures and appropriate conductive interconnects patterned to respective contacts of the gates, electrodes, source/drain regions and/or emitter regions for forming the overall integrated circuit, such as a memory integrated circuit.

LOUDON, N.H. — Kyle Busch captured his second pole of the season and first at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, setting a qualifying record with a 138.130 mph in his No. 18 Toyota.
The Joe Gibbs Racing driver will start first ahead of Jimmie Johnson, Denny Hamlin, Tony Stewart and Jamie McMurray.
"I thought it was a little bit tight but I guess I was driving through it enough that it was still carrying good speed," Busch said. "Lap felt good. It didn't feel that good, but it felt good."
Joey Logano, Brad Keselowski, Clint Bowyer, Martin Truex Jr., Kasey Kahne, Jeff Gordon and Kevin Harvick rounded out the top 12 in the final round.
Logano qualified in his backup No. 22 Ford following an accident in practice.
"For a backup car and making two laps on it before qualifying, I am proud of where we ended up," the Team Penske driver said. "I just wanted more."
With his 15th career pole position, Busch, who also won at New Hampshire in 2006, broke the previous pole record of 136.497 set last year by JGR teammate Matt Kenseth.
It's the 13th time a track qualifying record has been broken this season.
"The cars are fast with this new rules package," Johnson said. "We all thought it was a change to make for easier officiating with no minimum front end height, but it's opened up a lot of technology and a lot of setups that have made the cars faster.
"We knew the track record was going to fall, especially at one of the places where testing started. I was very optimistic coming into qualifying today. I thought I had enough to get it there. Then I saw Kyle's lap. He definitely put one down."
Busch starts first a week after his car flipped upside down during a 26-car pileup in the Coke Zero 400 at Daytona International Speedway.
"This has been a good place for us last year," said Busch, who finished second twice at New Hampshire's 1.058-mile oval in 2013. "I'd love to be able to continue that and see if we can make it one spot better."

The 72-year-old Morgan Shepherd made the race when a 44th entry dropped out, putting him in the field. In the No. 33 Chevrolet, he'll extend his mark as the oldest driver to start a race in NASCAR's Sprint Cup Series.
Shepherd made his Cup debut in 1970 and won four times in NASCAR's top series. He finished as high as fifth in the final standings in 1990 and hadn't started a Cup race since 2006. He last ran a full season in 1996.
Jim Fitzgerald was 65 when he raced in the 1987 Cup race at Riverside International Raceway. James Hylton is the oldest driver to start a NASCAR race. He was 76 for the 2011 Truck Series race at Pocono.
NASCAR has no age limit. Shepherd finished 43rd at Phoenix in his only other race of the season.

Coca-Cola starts bottling in Myanmar
Soft drink giant Coca-Cola began bottling its famous beverage in Myanmar on June 4 for the first time in over six decades, making the reformist Southeast Asian nation its 207th market worldwide. The bottling plant in Hmawbi Township, a suburb of Yangon, is the first to locally bottle Coca-Cola since the company re-entered Myanmar in 2012.
The plant represents the first stage of Coca-Cola's five-year, $200 million commitment to Myanmar. The company, which now has a presence in 17 more countries than the UN, will produce its soft drink with local partner Pinya Manufacturing Co.
"In general, we see ourselves as a guide because of our extensive experience throughout the world. We have 700,000 people in our system making us one of the lead employers in the world, and we recognize that we have a responsibility to our 300 million customers, who consume 1.8 billion bottles of Coca-Cola products every day," Gürtay Kipcak, Director of Coca-Cola Eurasia and Africa Group, told Inside Investor earlier this year.
The return of Coca-Cola to Myanmar is emblematic of thawing US-Myanmar relations, and comes just weeks after the two leaders held a landmark meeting in Washington, D.C.

Simple Potato and Rosemary Focaccia
Total Time
Prep 1 hr
Cook 50 mins
This was my first attempt at focaccia, several years ago, and it worked out well. I've made it several times since then. Having come across it again whilst browsing my cookbooks, I thought that you might like to try it! After it is baked , although it's great just as it is, try topping it with some fresh baby spinach or rocket (arugula) leaves. and shavings of Parmesan cheese. Be sure to slice the potatoes for the topping very thinly, they will cook on top of the focaccia. From : The Vegetarian Kitchen: Susan Gardner
Ingredients Nutrition
- 177.44 ml mashed potatoes
- 236.59 ml strong white bread flour, sifted
- 7.08 g packeteasyblend yeast
- 4.92 ml salt
- 29.58 ml olive oil
- 200 ml warm water
- 1 medium potatoes or 1 large potato, scrubbed and sliced thinly
- 19.71 ml fresh rosemary or 9.85 ml dried rosemary
- salt and pepper
- In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, flour, yeast, salt and 1 tbsp of olive oil, and mix in enough water to form a soft dough (you may not need all the water).
- Knead lightly, cover with plastic wrap, and leave to rise for about 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas Mark 4.
- Lightly oil a large baking tray.
- Place the dough in the middle, and work it out to the edges to form a square or rectangle.
- Top the dough with the uncooked potato slices and the rosemary, season with salt and pepper, and drizzle with the remaining oil.
- Bake for 50 minutes, covering if the focaccia is getting too brown.
Most Helpful
We very much enjoyed this bread. It has a lovely soft and lightly chewy texture and the topping is yummy. We actually used a couple of pieces of this under some scrambled ground beef mixed with leftover beef gravy and made it tonight's main meal with a side salad. Looking to enjoying the rest of it. Made for For Your Consideration. :D
I could not sleep last night so I started making this at around 4AM. Even though I was not quite with it, I could not screw this up. Instead of pulling out the mandoline, I used the vegetable peeler to peel off strips of potato. These worked beautifully with the fresh rosemary and I also added some fresh lemon thyme. I made half the recipe, which worked perfectly in my tabletop convection oven. Wonderful with my scrambled eggs this morning.
GREAT TASTING FOCACCIA, & I thoroughly enjoyed making your recipe! The only change I made was to use lemon pepper instead of the usual S&P, but that's no biggie! This was made just for the 2 of us, but another time I'd love to share this with company ~ Definitely a keeper recipe! [Made & reviewed for the VIP chef in the Vegetarian/Vegan Recipe Swap 19]

Pregnancy | Fetal Health | My H&WShared publicly -
A pregnant woman in her 30th week of pregnancy got infected with German measles or Rubella. After delivery the baby was found to have severe jaundice. As the months progressed, the infant started showing developmental delays. The infant had difficulty in swallowing, crawling, and later on, in walking and also speech development. After series of diagnostic tests conducted by the doctor, the child was confirmed to be having cerebral palsy.
Understanding Cerebral Palsy
Cerebral palsy is not a disease but it is a group of disabilities that affect children very early in life. It may be mild or severe in nature. Children with cerebral palsy have weak or stiff muscles resulting in uncoordinated muscle movements and difficulty in controlling the muscle movements.
Cerebral palsy can occur at any stage- in the fetus stage, during delivery or after birth of the child. During pregnancy, if infections like chicken pox or rubella affect the mother, then there is a chance that there can be brain damage to the developing fetus, resulting in cerebral palsy. If there is disruption of blood supply to the developing fetus, then a fetus stroke occurs resulting in cerebral palsy.
In case of a difficult delivery, there can be lack of oxygen to the baby's brain resulting in its damage leading to cerebral palsy. Severe jaundice (yellow discoloration of skin due to bile pigment), meningitis (swelling of membranes around brain and spinal cord), and viral encephalitis (swelling of brain due to viral infection) can cause cerebral palsy in infants. The other causes of cerebral palsy in infants include malnutrition, lead poisoning, shaken baby syndrome (baby shaken as an infant), and trauma to head during a car accident.
Types of Cerebral palsy
There are three types of cerebral palsy. In Spastic Cerebral Palsy, a single leg on one side or both legs and arms can be affected, and the child may have difficulty in movement as the muscles become stiff. In Athetotic Cerebral Palsy, the entire body is affected and the body shows slow movements which are not controlled. Ataxic Cerebral Palsy is the least common of the three types. In this type, there is no coordination and balance in the body.
A child with cerebral palsy may have stiff or floppy muscles with no muscle coordination (ataxia), and involuntary movements or tremors. The reflexes may be exaggerated, a condition called as spasticity, and there could be writhing movements that are slow (athetosis). The child may have delay in sitting up or crawling, and face difficulty in walking, eating or sucking, and speaking. The child may use only one side of body like reaching things with only one hand. The other problems associated with cerebral palsy included mental retardation, disability in learning, difficulty in hearing, vision problems, seizures, dental problems, and involuntary leakage of urine.
The doctor may conduct a series of tests to check for brain damage. To get 3D cross sectional image of the brain, a magnetic resonance imaging procedure is done in which radio waves and a magnetic field is used to produce required images of the brain. This is a painless procedure and takes about one hour to complete. The child is given a mild sedative for the procedure. Another procedure that is used is cranial ultrasound in which sound waves of high frequency are used to produce detailed images of the brain. In a procedure known as computerized tomography (CT scan), X rays are used to get cross sectional images of the child's brain. It takes about 20 minutes for this procedure and the child is given a mild sedative so that he or she remains still during the procedure. If the child has seizures, then an EEG (electro encephalogram) is taken to check for the electrical activity of the child's brain.
To rule out underlying problems that can cause cerebral palsy, lab tests like blood tests and assessment tests by specialists are done. The tests are done to find out if the child has any problems like blood clotting disorders, hearing impairment, vision problem, speech delays, mental retardation, and developmental delays.
There is no cure for cerebral palsy. However, the doctor may advise therapies that are beneficial for the child. Physical therapy involves muscle training and exercise to help the child develop balance, coordination, flexibility, and strength of muscles. The child also learns to sit on a wheel chair, use crutches, braces, and splints which will improve the child's walking ability. In occupational therapy, the child is taught how to do normal activities at home and school like writing and improving on motor skills. In speech therapy, the child is taught how to speak in words or sign language and how to eat and swallow.
Muscle relaxants may be prescribed to reduce the stiffness of muscles. They include drugs like baclofen, dantrolene (dantrium), tizanidine (zanaflex), diazepam (diazepam, intensol, valium). In case of seizures, the doctor prescribes anticonvulsant. To reduce spasticity of muscle, Botox injections are directly given into the muscle or nerve.
Orthopedic surgery is recommended in children who have deformed bones and joints. The surgery helps in placing bones and joints in correct positions, and also to lengthen muscles and tendons that become too short due to contractures. Nerves that innervate the spastic muscles are surgically cut to relax the muscles and reduce pain.
Inspiring Jerry Traylor
'Twelve individuals have landed on the moon and only one has jogged across America on crutches'. This one sentence says a lot about Jerry Traylor who is a well known motivational speaker with Cerebral palsy. When Jerry was just 6 years of age, he spent a year at the hospital getting 14 corrective surgeries done for his walking disability caused due to cerebral palsy. Jerry went on to participate in 35 marathons and climbing the top of 14,110 foot Pike's Peak overcoming his disability. In Jerry's own words he says, "Success is learning to control our limitations, rather than those limitations to gain control over us."

When the baby is not growing at the normal growth rate inside the womb, then it is termed as intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). The babies with IGUR have health problems during pregnancy and also at birth. The problems include high risk of being still born, high stress during delivery through vagina, low blood sugar level at birth, low body weight(below 10th percentile for its gestational age), low immunity to fight infections, difficulty in maintaining body temperature and abnormally high red blood cell count.
Intrauterine growth restriction may be due to the mother having kidney disease, infections caused by cytomegalovirus, syphilis, toxoplasmosis and syphilis; heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, sickle cell anemia, problem in placenta (tissue that supplies nutrients and oxygen from mother to baby), chromosomal and congenital abnormalities; alcohol abuse, smoking, drugs, prescribed medication, high altitudes, twins and triplets in the womb; low socioeconomic status resulting in poor nutrition; preeclampsia (condition with high blood pressure and protein in urine at 20th week of pregnancy) and eclampsia (seizures during pregnancy).Identifying an IUGR baby
To check the growth of the baby in the womb, the doctor performs ultrasound in which sound waves of high frequency are passed through the abdomen which gives you images of the baby inside. With the help of the ultrasound the doctor measures the baby's head, abdomen and legs, and checks if the baby is growing normally. In babies with IUGR, the amniotic fluid (protective fluid present in the amniotic sac holding the baby) may be low. This can also be checked with the help of an ultrasound. Only 1/3rd of the babies who are smaller than normal have IUGR. Babies can also be small because of genetic factors (having small babies running in the family).Diagnosis
To check the health of the baby inside the uterus, a test called as fetal monitoring is done. You are made to lie down for 30 minutes and your uterus is strapped. The baby's heartbeat is then recorded. The doctor can make out if the baby's heart beat is normal or not, by listening to the recording. A normal heartbeat tells you that the baby is in good health. In a procedure known as amniocentesis, a fine needle is passed into the uterus through the skin and few teaspoons of amniotic fluid is withdrawn which is tested to detect the cause of IUGR, infections, genetic problems and chromosomal abnormalities if any. If the uterus in a pregnant woman is found to be small in size, then the doctor suspects intrauterine growth restriction.Delivering an IUGR baby
If your baby has intrauterine growth restriction, it is not necessary that you have to deliver the baby before the due date. The delivery depends on how well the baby is growing inside. If the baby's growth is growing but slowly, then the doctor will not consider early delivery, but if the baby's growth is completely stopped, then the doctor will induce labor and deliver the baby before term. If the baby is doing well, then normal vaginal delivery is done; but if the baby is weak, then it cannot take the stress of normal vaginal delivery. In such cases, the doctor will perform a cesarean section or (c-section). If you take good care of yourself and prevent illnesses before and during the pregnancy term then you can avoid another IUGR baby.Monitoring IUGR baby after delivery
If your baby was born before time, then it will have to stay in the hospital for longer time than usual. The baby's heart rate, breathing and growth are monitored by the doctor. The baby is kept in the hospital and monitored till it reaches a weight of 5 pounds. The baby should be able to breathe and feed normally. The baby may grow to normal height when it reaches 2 years of age.Preventing IUGR
The best way you can prevent an intrauterine growth restriction is to take good care of your health during pregnancy, by eating nutritious food and getting adequate rest. You must avoid habits like smoking, drugs and drinking alcohol during pregnancy. Monitor your baby's movements. If your baby is kicking, then it shows that you have a healthy baby. If you do not feel it moving or kicking then you must at once report it to your doctor. Detecting IUGR early can help in better treatment so do not hesitate to call your doctor.

Which Joe gave his name to 'sloppy joes'? We look at five interesting sandwiches and their lexical origins.
1The action or process of fertilizing an egg or a female animal or plant, involving the fusion of male and female gametes to form a zygote.
conception, impregnation, insemination, implantation, inception of pregnancypollination, propagationfecundationView synonyms
- 'There has been evolutionary growth in the technology of in vitro fertilisation and the gamete intrafallopian transfer programme.'
- 'He said the above words in opposition to in vitro fertilisation, not stem cell research.'
- 'Wrasses practice external fertilization in which the female's eggs are released into the water.'
- 'In common with in vitro fertilisation, a gamete intrafallopian transfer cycle begins with superovulation to recruit multiple follicles and is followed by egg retrieval.'
- 'The embryos of all sexually reproducing organisms develop from a single cell, formed by the fusion of a male and a female gamete at fertilization.'
- 'If a female and male have sex within several days of the female's ovulation, fertilization can occur.'
- 'It lures male codling moths on to a sticky platform (from which there is no escape) to limit fertilisation of the females and reduce the number of grubs, which feed inside developing fruits.'
- 'The gametes then fuse in a process called syngamy, or fertilization.'
- 'There was no evidence that increased familiarity with a site or with a female increased fertilization effectiveness for a male.'
- 'During these two to three weeks after fertilization, the male will protect the nest and guard the eggs with great fierceness.'
- 'It would not be reproductive cloning as fertilisation would involve only one set of gametes produced in this way and therefore a unique embryo would form.'
- 'Once these discoveries had been made, it was no longer possible to deny that animal life begins at fertilisation.'
- 'Instead, males that mate with mated females increase their fertilization success by being cannibalized.'
- 'After several bouts of egg laying and fertilization, the female departs with fertilized eggs which she broods in her mouth.'
- 'It likens it to now common reproductive technologies such as in vitro fertilization and artificial insemination.'
- 'A prepared sample containing around one to two million motile sperm is required for adequate oocyte fertilisation with in vitro fertilisation.'
- 'Some genes have been shown to be expressed in the female gametophyte before fertilization.'
- 'In normal fertilisation the formation of male and female pronuclei is an important stage just before the maternal and paternal chromosomes start to pair up in preparation for the first cell division.'
- 'The act also requires that no person should provide gametes for in vitro fertilisation, storage, or donation without first being given appropriate information about treatment.'
- 'In cases where the female remates, we determine the relative fertilization success of each male.'
2The action or process of applying a fertilizer to soil or land.
- 'We've made huge advances in agricultural mechanization, in fertilization, in soil science.'
- 'Modern culturing of wheat involves large land areas with intensive fertilization to achieve large yields and high protein concentrations.'
- 'Forages are generally good sources of calcium and can be variable in phosphorus according to soil type and fertilization.'
- 'They are widely distributed from rainforests to the edges of dry and cold deserts, and they play an important role in human nutrition as well as in soil fertilization.'
- 'They all prefer acidic soil and require regular fertilization through the growing season.'
- 'Frequently, the health and vigor of trees stressed by construction activities can be improved by fertilization.'
- 'Shallow soil or inadequate fertilization also can cause nuts to drop.'
- 'Bermudagrass is highly responsive to fertilization with N and can be an important and valuable cash crop.'
- 'The cultural practices and fertilization practices recommended for wheat are satisfactory for triticale.'
- 'Improperly done fertilization may actually increase undesirable weed growth and contribute to other problems.'
- 'The effect of rootstock on wine quality is probably no greater than that of other factors such as soil, climate, fertilization, and irrigation.'
- 'Reduce nitrogen fertilization, and test soil to check potassium levels.'
- 'The variety grown here is well adapted to the climate, requiring less water and fertilization than modern hybrids.'
- 'Susceptibility to cold is determined by cultivar and cultural practices, especially fertilization.'
- 'Forage fertilization should be based on soil test levels and realistic yield goals.'
- 'Adequate fertilization is an economical practice for increasing pasture production.'
- 'Deciding to perform fall fertilization, or deciding not to, presents risks and benefits that must be considered.'
- 'No additional fertilization was applied to that already present in the growing medium during the experiment.'
- 'The objective was to demonstrate proper fertilization and harvesting practices to improve hay quality.'
- 'Sánchez trained tens of thousands of farmers and extension agents in soil conservation and organic fertilization.'

Nonnos of Panopolis in Egypt, who lived in the fifth century of our era, composed the last great epic poem of antiquity. The "Dionysiaca," in 48 books, has for its chief theme the expedition of Dionysus against the Indians; but the poet contrives to include all the adventures of the god (as well as much other mythological lore) in a narrative which begins with chaos in heaven and ends with the apotheosis of Ariadne's crown. The wild ecstasy inspired by the god is certainly reflected in the poet's style, which is baroque, extravagant, and unrestrained. It seems that Nonnos was in later years converted to Christianity, for in marked contrast to the "Dionysiaca," a poem dealing unreservedly with classical myths and redolent of a pagan outlook, there is extant and ascribed to him a hexameter paraphrase of the Gospel of John.
