serious environmental concern because it uses toxic chemicals.
Kuo said people use the CMP method because it has been their
only choice.
But Kuo said he has developed a process to plasma-etch copper,
saving time and money.
The starting material is a wafer made out of silicon, and chips are
made on the wafer.
“We expose the patterned copper to a plasma, and the reaction
product stays on the wafer surface rather than being removed like
the conventional way,” he said.
After the plasma process, researchers dip the wafer in a weak acid
solution, he said. The plasma-copper product instantaneously dissolves in
the solution and the fine copper lines form, he said.
Kuo said the advantages of this process are that it is very fast,
uses no toxic chemicals, has very few environmental effects and is
inexpensive because it uses standard production equipment.

Tuesday, April 2, GLBTA and MSC Film
Society will co-sponsor a free viewing of
“Hedwig and the Angry Inch" in Koldus 11 1 at
7:30 p.m.
During the day, the MSC Town Hall will spon
sor a concert at Rudder Fountain, featuring Shade,
from 12 to 1 p.m.
Thursday, April 4, GLBTA will hold a “Day of
Silence,” where all people can remain silent to
protest and stop oppression.
“This day is for all people who feel they are
discriminated against or have felt oppressed at one
time in their lives,” Anderson said.
On Friday, April 5, Gender Issues Education
Services (GIES) will sponsor the second annual
“Evening of the Arts: Going Beyond Oppression,”
a variety show featuring musical performances,
visual art and other acts presented by students and
community members.
'‘Gay Awareness Week, much like any other
awareness program, reminds the A&M communi
ty that GLBT faculty, staff and students are as
much a part of the diversity and culture that
already exists on this campus as any other group
is,” said Dave Martin, president of the GLBT
The Southern Heritage Society will have guest lecturer Je:

English department.
By holding these events and reaching even a
few more people each time, we improve the cul
tural climate at this university for all students,
Martin said.
“What I hope is that people open their minds
and learn during this week.” he said. He encour
aged Students to “talk to GLBT people who can
explain first-hand how they feel, instead of just
listening to sound bytes on television or reading
snippets of quotes in a newspaper.”
The goal of Gay Awareness Week is to reach
out and support diversity, Anderson said.
“Anything that gets people to notice what’s going
on around them, allowing them to see something that
they wouldn't normally see, helps them to reevaluate
their way of thinking,” said Anderson. "I believe that
Gay Awareness Week helps accomplish that.”
Organizations will distribute rainbow ribbons
and brochures regarding their groups as well as
information on GLBT people throughout the week.
“We are definitely moving in the right direc
tion," Anderson said. “Our goal is to have a time
where we don’t have to have awareness weeks,
where everything and everyone would be accepted
for who they are without being clouded by hate,
discrimination and oppression.”
