          Application 07/918,954                                                      


          Therefore, claims 2 through 4, 7 and 10 through 12 are pending              
          and stand rejected.                                                         


               The invention is directed to field effect transistors in               
          which the transistor gate is located in a trench in a                       
          substrate having a lightly doped epitaxal layer at the                      
          principal surface of the substrate.  Appellants disclose on                 
          pages 4 and 5 of the specification that Figure 2 shows a cross              
          section of a field effect transistor in accordance with the                 
          invention.  In particular, Figure 2 shows a conventional                    
          heavily doped N+ substrate 40 being a drain region, a first                 
          epitaxial layer 42 of a N doped conductivity type formed on                 
          the substrate 40, a second layer 46 of a N- doped conductivity              
          type formed on the first layer 42, a trench 54 in the second                
          layer 46 extending to within 0.5 Fm of the first layer 42, a                
          source region 52 of a N+ doped conductivity type formed in the              
          second layer 46 and a body region of a P doped conductivity                 
          typed extending from the principle surface of the second layer              
          46 down to and into at least an upper portion of the first                  
          layer 42 and being spaced apart from the lower portion of the               
          trench 54.                                                                  
                                          2
