Did you know that we provide among the cheapest private health cover in Australia? Our average premium increase for the past six years has been less than the average increases of the big funds, and consistently below the industry average. But 'cheap' makes us sound, well, cheap, when our benefits are among the best around. Compare us with the other funds or check out how the Government rates us.
How do we offer such affordable health cover, yet still provide excellent benefits and rebates? By working hard to be ultra efficient, that's how. We don't have a network of expensive branches to maintain. We don't incur large overheads. We don't spend enormous amounts on advertising. Instead, we focus on developing innovative ways to best serve our members; and that's why our premiums are consistently among the lowest in Australia, while the benefits are among the highest. Did you also know that members can now claim on their mobile device by downloading our new SmartClaim app? Now that's smart!
Unlike many other health funds, we don't dictate which healthcare providers you can use. With us, you're free to visit YOUR preferred practitioner, without being penalised financially. In fact, our stance on dental providers in particular has been publicly applauded by the Australian Dental Association of WA, making us the only health fund with an ADAWA commendation
If you've seen our advertising recently, you'll know that, while we may be smaller than some funds, we're not afraid to stand up and defend your right to choose the best value health cover in Australia. We strongly believe in preserving YOUR right to choose, and always will.
As a not-for-profit member-based health fund, we don't have to increase your premiums to pay income tax and dividends to shareholders. Affordability is our focus, so any surplus is returned to our members by keeping a lid on premiums, while improving our product inclusions and rebates.
When you speak to one of our member service representatives, you can rest assured that you're talking to a real person who works at HIF (not some anonymous off-shore call centre). You're talking to a professional who knows their stuff. Someone who works solely for you, the member (not shareholders). Get in touch today and see for yourself.
Did you know that we give you access to over 500 private hospitals throughout Australia? So if you're going to be away from home, or you plan to relocate, we'll still be there to help you during your time of need. Reassuring thought, isn't it?
Ever been confused by some of our competitors' packages? You're not the only one. That's why we've made it easy for you. We offer five domestic Hospital cover choices and five Extras cover choices. That's it. No forced packages. So if you only want private hospital cover that's fine by us. Same goes for Extras cover. And if you do want both, you can do that too - simply by mixing and matching the different options until you find a combination that suits your needs and budget. Test drive our handy online product selector now to get a free quote.
If you want to switch but think the paperwork looks too daunting, fear not. HIF makes switching easy! Just tell us who you're currently insured with and we'll call them on your behalf. We'll even honour your length of membership with your previous fund under our loyalty program, so (in most cases) you won't have to serve new waiting periods. How good is that?

You learn a great deal of respectful and knowledgeable instructors, the students are fun to be around and know when to get serious, and there are regular classes including Saturdays. From Karate to Kickboxing TORA offers some diversity along with level of intensity suitable for everyone - from a simple practitioner to a full contact fighter. So come on down, or up, and see what TORA is all about! James.
Great club for all ages. Instructors are brilliant and always there to help. Family orientated and friendly atmosphere. Wide variety of classes to suit all. Highly recommended
I have trained with Shi-han Alex for nearly 10 years. First with my kids and then by myself and I love it. The training is always varied, the teachers/ trainers interested in karate and trying to improve all the time. Recommend it to anyone of any age.
TMAC is a great place for anyone, irrespective of age. The instructors are brilliant, the club fully equipped and the students, friendly. Overall, it's an excellent place to learn karate/kickboxing/self defence, develop confidence and make friends.

Friendly atmosphere and good fun. Great way to sweat it out!
A little bit older than most (at 71), I have continues my love of martial arts by joining Goju Ryu some 4 years ago. With a "plastic hip" I have been encourages (and admonished) to perform at the top of my own level and have continued to progress and enjoy the experience. Come and join us.
I couldn't think of a better Dojo to send my kids to. Sensei is dedicated to bringing the best out of his students. His commitment and passion to teach karate is second to none and my kids are better off with his guidance and training.
My son and I 37 and 7 joined the dojo last year. It is a great way of getting fit and spending time with my son outside of my stressful job which is forgotten when I get to classes! The Sensai is a great teacher who makes the classes tough but fun and extremely good value for money with additional free lessons and training where needed. As a bonus to feeling fitter than I have in a long time, since we started 5 months ago I lost 10 kilos and confidence improved. Thanks Sensai!

Miles Tax Discussed by Shuster to Pay for RoadsLaura Litvan
House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Chairman Bill Shuster said user fees including a vehicle miles tax need to be considered to pay for U.S. highway construction in the long term.
Shuster rejected the idea of raising the nation's 18.4 cents-per-gallon gasoline tax, now the primary method of paying for road, bridge and mass transit projects. Besides a mileage tax, he said other funding methods include higher taxes on energy exploration and bringing back corporate profits earned overseas.
"We don't want a two-year bill, we want a five- or six-year bill," Shuster said at a Bloomberg Government infrastructure event in Washington.
A vehicle miles tax has never been considered on the federal level because of objections to the concept of tracking how many miles people drive to assess and collect the levy. There have been some state- and local-level experiments.
A partisan dispute in Congress over tax increases is clouding potential action on a long-term highway bill backed by companies including Caterpillar Inc. It's also heightening the risk that the U.S. will run out of money to pay for projects later this year.
The federal government may have to delay some payments to states before the fiscal year ends in September, the Congressional Budget Office said today in updating the financial status of the Highway Trust Fund, which pays for road and bridge projects from gasoline taxes.
Gasoline Tax
Its estimates back recent statements from U.S. Department of Transportation officials who have said the fund was running out of money more quickly than was anticipated when Congress passed a two-year highway bill in 2012.
Groups led by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the biggest business lobby, want to prevent a repeat of 2012, when proposals to fund roads, bridges and mass transit for six years sputtered over bipartisan opposition to raising the gasoline tax. The shorter-term measure, which used general tax revenue to keep highway construction going, expires Sept. 30.
The gasoline tax has stayed at 18.4 cents a gallon since 1993 and isn't indexed to inflation. Revenue from the levy has declined since 2007 through a combination of a lagging economy, fewer miles driven and more efficient cars.
The tax's purchasing power has declined almost 40 percent over the past two decades, according to the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials.
Skeptical Senators
Lawmakers in both parties, including Republican Senator Roy Blunt of Missouri and Democratic Senator Carl Levin of Michigan, already have said they doubt Congress can forge a consensus on the tax-financing issues and pass a bill that authorizes programs for five or six years as industry groups want.
"Based on the performance of the Senate over the last three years, a six-year highway bill is a pretty big expectation," Blunt said in an interview last month.
The balance in the highway portion of the Highway Trust Fund as of the end of November was $9.22 billion, down 24 percent from a year earlier, according to the Federal Highway Administration. The CBO estimated the balance will be $1 billion at the end of September, one-fourth of what the Transportation Department said it needs to pay bills as they become due.
Bill's Boosters
While the legislation's supporters and business groups point to the House's passage of an $8.2 billion water projects bill last year as a breakthrough on infrastructure spending, that measure didn't require a large tax increase.
Business groups say a long-term bill could boost the economy and that the short duration of the current law has sparked uncertainty for companies involved in long-term projects, and also for the state and local officials who decide the terms of contracts.
The Chamber and other groups have endorsed a bill introduced in December by Representative Earl Blumenauer, an Oregon Democrat and member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, that would boost the gasoline tax by 15 cents a gallon over three years.
Victor Mendez, acting deputy secretary at the Department of Transportation, wouldn't commit today to how a highway bill should be funded, and said the administration will seek consensus on that with lawmakers later this year. At the same time, he made clear that President Barack Obama's administration doesn't want another short-term bill.
"If you're looking for certainty, you can't find it in a two-year bill," Mendez said.
Inflation Indexing
Former Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood and former Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell called today for raising the gasoline tax by 10 cents a gallon and indexing it to inflation.
Senator Barbara Boxer, a California Democrat and chairman of the Environment and Public Works Committee, proposed in September replacing the gasoline tax with a levy paid on oil at refineries. She has said such a tax, which has been floated by research groups including Rand Corp. and the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, could generate enough revenue to fund highways and mass transit for six years.
Boxer is in talks with Senator David Vitter of Louisiana, the top Republican on the panel, to move a joint highway bill. Vitter is open to some kind of revenue increase, although the two haven't agreed on the method, said Luke Bolar, a Vitter spokesman.

Vancouver Police say alcohol does not appear to be a factor in a fatal accident on Oak Street.
Police say a 75-year-old woman was crossing Oak at 53rd Avenue shortly before 10pm Monday, when she was struck and killed by a car driven by a 19-year-old Vancouver man.
Police say he remained at the scene and is co-operating with investigators.
Vancouver Police are also investigating a late-night stabbing on the east side of Hornby Street, near Smithe.
A fight between 3 people at 11pm Monday left one man with life-threatening stab wounds.
He walked into a local business, was rushed to hospital, and police say he will survive.
Police say he is known to them and they believe the attack was targeted.

DEFINITION of 'Auction House'
A company that facilitates the buying and selling of assets, such as works of art and collectibles. An auction house may sometimes refer to the facility that an auction is taking place in, most commonly refers to the company running the auction.
BREAKING DOWN 'Auction House'
Historically, auctions have been used both to sell the assets of those looking to dispose of them, as well as to liquidate the assets of debtors. Auctions took place in many different facilities, as well as in the open air public spaces. Enclosed showroom auction houses began in the 17th century. The oldest auction house is the Stockholms Auktionsverk in Stockholm, Sweden. It was founded in 1674.
Some of the most famous auction houses are Christie's and Sotheby's, and focus almost exclusively on high end art and collectibles. While most often associated with the sale of famous works of art, auction houses can be used in the sale of all sorts of assets, including commodities.

"Remind's me of The Scarlett Letter"
surprising, suspense thriller
It was different from other stories I've been listening to due to the change in setting (time period).
I liked how his voice was nice to listen to and changed when necessary.
Great Story!
"Murdering German"
I find I quite enjoy this story. It is not life- changing in any way, but still slightly addicting and very entertaining. I do find that I wish I'd have gotten a version in the original language, however. This reader's attempts at reading any occurring German names, verses or phrases is so bad that I, a fluent speaker of the language, cannot understand what he is saying. If you understand German, I'd recommend you to not get this version, and rather take the trouble of trying to dig up a German one.
culture creature
I guess I would, while at times the story was good I would have to know if they liked history based books before telling them to read/listen to it.
I enjoyed the detective aspect of the novel it was exciting to see the characters to try and solve things with out the tools of modern technology. The romance, it was kind of boring and I found pointless.
The performance of this book was pretty good, but his voice was very relaxing and I found I had to listen to the book at an accelerated speed to prevent myself from falling asleep.
I'm not sure if this book was worth listening to because I'm still undecided if I liked the book or not.
"Medieval Mystery"
First, if you don't want to hear graphic descriptions of torture and life in the mid-1600s then you might want to avoid this book. The local midwife has been accused of witchcraft and tossed in prison. Back in those days people were tortured until they got a confession so there are several descriptive torture scenes. The townspeople believe in witchcraft and devils (this story takes place 70 years after the witch trials where about 60 women were accused of witchcraft and killed) and see signs of it in the most innocent of things and hysteria starts to rise and demands are made for the midwife/witch to be killed. Mob mentality arises and has to be subdued.
As I said earlier, the book gets very graphic in descriptions of the hangman's trade and also other atrocities committed by the mercenaries of the time and also the treatment of women and children.
The title is a little misleading in that even though the hangman does have a daughter and she plays a small role, the majority of the book is centered around the hangman and the university-educated son of the local doctor trying to figure out who is responsible for the murders and destruction of property since they believe in the midwife's innocence.
This book reminded me a little of Speaks the Nightbird by Robert McCammon which centered around a witch trial in 1699. If you enjoyed that book you would probably enjoy this one as well.
"Wonderful concept - just Ok writing"
The idea that the town's executioner should be more worried about justice than the burghers is a great premise. The story moves along, but the repetition in the prose is off-putting. Character development is slow and that's not always bad - but in this case, some of the major characters are still incomplete at the end of the book. Hints are given, but clarity would be nice. I found it strange that the reformation was totally ignored.
"The Devil Made Me Do It"
better writing/story/characters. Characters are sterotypes -- good wise women accused of being witches, evil fat money bags, a limping badguy who is the devil incarnate because he is named so, and the best a hero hangman "sorry i have to torture you because otherwise i can't be around to prove you innocent" -- and too many modern sensibilities for what should be a recreation of the 1600's. The tie the innocent girl to the train tracks plot set in a poorly depicted medieval town.
not his fault
opening scene
"Wish I'd read the book!"
This was a great book, very engaging, but the narrator was just awful! Lacking any inflection, he rattled on in a monotone, even when describing some really harrowing bits of the story. Still well worth a listen, I wish I'd read the book, since I think I would have given this a 5-star rating. The narrator almost killed it for me.
I love all genres of books. However, when I listen to audio books as I clean, garden, drive they are better with a lot of heat!
"Graphic Murder Mystery"
The story takes place in the middle ages in a German State and is hard to put down. The Hangman is the town executioner, torturer, herbalist, and a family man. He and his family are necessary to the town and at the same time are outcasts of the society. His daughter is a haughty sexy girl who defies the norms as does the Hangman and a local young physician. All are ahead of their time in a world mired in superstition, and religious fervor. A murderer is at work killing children, a mystical mark is found on the bodies, a witch is blamed and the authorities are too eager to find an easy solution to the problem.
The Hangman and the physician use science and common sense to unravel the mystery. The villains and the heroes use violence and torture to achieve their ends. Well written, historically accurate, this is a good read.
Grover Gardner did a good job delivering the story
"Disappointing and scarcely credible"
The premise for this book is intriguing, but in reality it falls far short of even being remotely good. If it wasn't for some farely graphic descriptions of violence I would have thought that it was aimed at the young adult or even children's market.
Some of the istorical background is interesting but the story itself is barely credible. Again and again our heroes are saved by coincidences and occurrances which stretch the definition of Deus ex machina to its absolute limit.
Lastly, the dialogue is wooden and many passages often repeat themselves.
It is possible that some of these faults are due to a poor translation from the original german, but it doesn't excuse the tissue thin plot and eventual resolution.
There are many other historical who done its out there which are more worthy of your credits.
"Good Book"
If you like historical fiction you'll enjoy this story. The narrator is good as well.

The SBC, Hermes said, is now in its third year and has two primary purposes: to aid already existing businesses and to help new, small businesses start well. In its first year, she told the group, meeting for breakfast at Krause's, the council assumed responsibility for the Chamber's "Airman of the Quarter" program and for its Legislative Conference. In that first year it also staged the first "Business to Business lYade Show," she said. That show permitted businesses that sell to other busbies- 6 Landmark' insurance bill sought AUSTIN (AP) — Gov. Ann Richards told a House committee that insurance reform would help consumers "get the coverage they need at a price that they can afford." Richards and Attorney General Dan Morales on Monday both called for major reforms opposed by the insurance industry. She termed insurance reform one of the important pieces of legislation of the current session. Speaking to the House Insurance Committee, Richards said consumers believe "they are not getting what they consider a square deal from the insurance industry." Bul insurance industry representatives are opposed to certain provisions of the legislation, saying the measure "may do as much harm as good to both consumers and the industry." ses to interact with each other, learning more of the local availability of goods and services. In its second year, Hermes said, lacing her remarks with humor and calling frequently on Downtown Association President Bob Shima to repeat her theme — "We create our own business environment" — the SBC sponsored the "Small Bushless Week" recognition of local firms and awarded the first "Small Businessperson of the Year" award, which went to Mary Jane Nalley. Also created in that second year by the SBC, she said, was the Bushless Advisory Committee which provides educational resources for small businesses. The committee has provided hospitality training sessions for both the managers and the "front line" employees of firms that deal primarily with visitors to New Braunfels, has staged a marketing seminar, and was responsibility for the Small Business Development Center which sees a trained business counselor available at the Chamber offices one day each month to work with local firms. That day, Hermes said, "is always filled." Also developing during the SBC's second year, she said, was the Venture Capital Club which still is in the conceptual stages. In its current, third year, Hermes said, the SBC has given birth to the Free Enterprise Committee which has moved to reinstitute the Shadow Program and which will sponsor a Spring Family Trade Show April 13-14 in Landa Park. The Shadow Program, she explained, sees youngsters "shadowing" local businessmen for a half day to get a true picture of the free enterprise system. And the Spring Family Trade Show is an outgrowth of the Business to Business Trade Shows. It will permit firms to offer their goods and services to consumers as the Business to Business shows have permitted them to be offered to other firms. Hermes also outlined the Shop and Buy New Braunfels program that is being chaired by her husband, Dennis. That program, she said will be an educational effort pointing out that some $500,000 a day leaves New Braunfels and is spent by local businesses and individuals in San Antonio and Austin or on mail orders. That volume of lost business, she said, means the loss of some $5,000 per day — or $1.5 million per year — in sales tax revenue, not to mention the loss of property tax on goods not stocked by local merchants. Concluding her presentation, Hermes again repeated her theme—"We create our own business environment" — and then, recapping the Small Business Council's efforts, said, "And this is only the third month of the third year of the Small Business Council!"

The Herald-Zeiiung regrets the error. By KATHRYN SCHOEMER Staff Writer People wanting to preserve Comal Springs can conserve water by xeriscaping their yards. As much as 40 percent of summer water can be conserved through xeriscaping, which is preserving water with creative landscaping, said Kelly Morris, division manager of information and education for the Edwards Underground Water District. "If you start this year and scale back, you can save a little bit at a time," she said, adding that xeriscaping an entire yard would save a tremendous amount of water. When replacing plants damaged by a frcc/.c, landscapers can begin xeriscaping by subsiituring low-water plants. Native plants in Texas don't need much water because nature adapts to the climate, she said. Carolyn Eagle, public information coordinator for the EUWD, said xeris-capc plants should be selected for their low-water requirements, adapta- JOHNNY DEPP rn edward 5CI550RHAND5 WB. ginj Bat. • Bun. 2:00 4:05 7KH) 0:05 ifar>1 4 4 IBM mmMMJ bility to the region's soil, climate and visual appeal. The new gardening technique involves seven principles: good planning and design, limited turf areas or lot sizes, efficient watering methods, soil improvements, use of mulches or tree bark around trees, low-water demand plants and appropriate landscape maintenance. Even though xeriscaping adds beauty to the yard and conserves water, customers might have a difficult time purchasing the plants. "It's not cheap and the price has not come down like it should," Morris said. Because xcriscape plants are not in high demand, the plants have limited availability and are expensive. As the demand rises, the price decreases and the plants become more available, she said. Xeriscape plants include ground covers such as Creeping Grape and Asiatic Jasmine; vines like the Virginia Creeper and Catclaw Vine; shrubs such as Autumn Sage and the Coral Bean; trees like Afghan Pine and Bur Oak; bunch grasses like the Eastern gamagrass and the Fountain Grass; and turf grasses such as the Bermuda or the Buffalo Grass. "Xeriscaping is a display of both Texas pride and genuine expression of concern for one of our most precious resources — water," Eagle said.

Volkswagen has introduced the Beetle Fender limited edition, produced in partnership with the famous guitar manufacturer. Powering the limited-edition Beetle Fender is an efficient but strong 2.0-litre TDI 140 PS engine mated to either a six-speed manual or DSG gearbox. Similar to the cover of Spinal Tap's album Smell The Glove, it is offered with only a lustrous Deep Pearl Black color.
It features a rear spoiler, a set of stylish 18-inch 'Discus' alloy wheels, and a Fender badge on each front wing. The guitar connection is quickly apparent upon entering the interior. Every car gets a dash panel in vibrant 'Sunburst' wood, similar to a classic Fender guitar. It also comes with the 400-Watt Fender sound system, accompanied with a boot-mounted subwoofer, and illuminated front speaker mountings.
Every Beetle Fender gets the RCD 510 audio unit with full-colour touchscreen and MDI multi-device interface, 2Zone climate control, front and rear parking sensors, bi-xenon headlights and bespoke 'Cheyenne' cloth seats with leather-look side bolsters. The price tag on the Beetle Fender indicates £23,015 (RRP OTR) for the manual model, and £24,610 for the DSG. Volkswagen will start to take orders on January 2.

If you watched the VMAs or saw headlines from it like I did, you might have noticed that Cher (singer, actress, and erstwhile infomercial star) was dressed in a black unitard made of nothing but nylons. OK, there was some strategically-placed glitter on the outfit as well, but as over-the-top as Cher looked wearing this getup 30 years ago is nothing compared to how she looked squeezing into it again at the age of 64.
This pantyhosed-ensemble made its debut in the sexagenarian's (pun very much intended) hit video "If I Could Turn Back Time," which is evidently what this star wants to do when it comes to her looks. But should holding on to youth and beauty be such a central goal in life?
In the book of Proverbs, King Solomon wisely notes that "grace is deceptive and beauty is emptiness, it is a woman who reveres God that should be praised."
That's because despite what Cher's plastic surgeon and personal trainer may be telling her, the world was set up so that people physically deteriorate as they get older. That's not to say that we shouldn't try to look and feel our best as we age, but while our physicality is meant to decline over time, our spirituality, if we work on it, has the ability to get stronger and more developed with each passing day.
Though time can't be turned back when it comes to one's body, there actually is a formula to turning back time for one's soul. It's called teshuva which is often translated as "repentance" but literally means "returning."
Doing teshuva, which includes feeling remorse for a mistake, apologizing to the person wronged (if the mistake affected another person), committing to changing one's behavior, and then sticking to the plan – actually resets one's spiritual clock. It's not that the mistake is simply forgiven and pushed under the rug – it's as if it never happened in the first place (in God's eyes).
Working to look and feel one's best is a worthwhile endeavor, but only in moderation. For as we are reminded during these Days of Awe – we have neither the knowledge nor the control of "who will live and who will die." And so it behooves each and everyone of us to focus as much time and effort as we can towards strengthening the side of ourselves that is everlasting and transcends this fleeting world of glitter, unitards, and Video Music Awards.
May you and yours be sealed in the Book of Life.

On the internet in an open forum or complaint website, you complain someone did you wrong in some way, but you openly admit that you made mistakes which is your fault. You clearly stated, "I had a family emergency and not pay attention and have to go India."
Anyone can understand family emergencies come up, but there are millions of businesses in America that have the same or similiar situations. But this in no way gives you a free pass to neglect your legal, contractual, and financial obligations you are legally responsible for with a business that you choose to engage in a contract agreement with.
You made a big mistake by saying "you did not pay attention." If anyone who is a business owner who is a smart business owner, they will make good decisions, keep track of their business, and keep track of their finances. But you admit you made mistakes.
And you breached your contract by not paying, and then changing your bank accounts. You are the one that has done wrong.
It is you that signed and legally obligated you and your company to the contracts and the equipment leases, it was you that signed the lease for the equipment, it was you that accepted all the equipment at your store, it was you that got on the phone with the lease company and verified and verbally accepted the terms of the lease, and it was probably you that did NOT read all the fine print of the contract and lease contract which all clearly states the monthly fees and charges and the lease contract says in big bold print "NON-CANCELLABLE LEASE!"
The only person that did something wrong and breached the contract was you who decided to change your bank accounts. You are legally responsible for the contracts and paying the monthly payments. They have every right to use attorneys or collection agencies to force you to honor your contract you signed and make the payments.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Fysisk institutt
3D integration is an emerging technique which features vertical stacking of chips to achieve high performance, low cost and multifunctional packages. In the heart of 3D integration development is the interconnection technique used between dies. The objective of this work is to utilize Cu/Sn intermetallic bonding to develop reliable, low cost and robust interconnect techniques for 3D die stacking, with major focus on heterogeneous stacking scenarios.
This thesis has introduced a novel fluxless Cu-Sn SLID bonding approach, where an intermetallic Cu3Sn layer is applied as the oxidation barrier for Cu interconnects.Oxidation behavior of intermetallic Cu
Sn was investigated by aging Cu and Cu/Cu
Sn multilayer-films at elevated temperatures in ambient air, and by measuring the oxidation level with energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDX).
Cu/Sn to Cu/Sn dual layer SLID bonding of interconnects was carried out at wafer level. A major advantage of the Cu/Sn to Cu/Sn bonding scenario is avoiding the dynamic wetting of molten Sn to Cu, and replacing with a liquid to liquid integration. The bonded interconnects showed shear strength of 45 MPa and electrical resistance on the order of 100 mΩ.
Processing challenges of Cu-Sn SLID bonding were addressed in this thesis. Sn overflow problem in a Cu-Sn SLID system was solved by designing a margin of 15 μm at the Cu pads to tolerate Sn spreading; Approaches to meet uniformity requirement for electroplated Cu and Sn layers, which is crucial for achieving successful wafer-level bonding without a chemical mechanical polishing (CMP), has been proposed. Uniformly deposited Cu layer with 4% height variation across the wafer, has been achieved by combining pulsed-reversed plating and optimization of electroplating mask.
Comprehensive study of material properties and the influence of process parameters have been carried out. The mechanism of interdiffusion and reaction between the metals used during wafer-level SLID bonding has been investigated by studying the microstructure evolution of the intermetallic compounds Cu
Sn and Cu
for samples exposed to temperatures up to 400 °C; The bonding time, required to achieve a single intermetallic compound (IMC) phase (Cu
Sn) in the interconnects, was estimated based on the parabolic growth law with consideration of defect-induced deviation; Correlation between the grain size and the interdiffusion rate has been analyzed based on data acquired in this study and in literature, where various deposition methods lead to different grain size; The influence of temperature ramp rate at the beginning of the bonding process has been studies by annealing Cu/Sn film with various temperature ramp rate. Low temperature ramp rate can potentially improve the integrity of the interconnects by reducing voiding and the risk for fracture.
