          Appeal No. 1997-1060                                                        
          Application No. 08/172,848                                                  


          redundancy has been implemented on the semiconductor device.                
          (column 5, lines 49-54, 62-67; column 6, lines 11-15; and                   
          column 7, lines 15-26).                                                     
               Since the examiner’s rejection of claims 11 and 37 has                 
          been affirmed, we likewise affirm the rejections of claims 7                
          and 12-36 since these claims stand or fall (Brief, page 3)                  
          with representative claims 11 and 37, respectively, and the                 
          appellant has failed to provide any reasons why claims 7 and                
          12-36 are believed to be separately patentable.                             
               To summarize:                                                          
               We have reversed the examiner’s rejections of claims 1-6               
          and 8-10.                                                                   
               We have affirmed the examiner’s rejections of claims 7                 
          and 11-37.                                                                  
                                      DECISION                                        
               The decision of the examiner is affirmed-in-part.                      









                                         11
