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.

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: Adams, The Chairman of the Texas League of The South.

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.” For more information, go to http://studentlife.tamu.edu/gies/lgbt/gaw.htm.
