          Appeal No. 1998-1623                                                        
          Application 08/433,625                                                      



          fabricating a semiconductor chip package comprising the step                
          of bringing a region of solder shown as element 55 in Figure                
          3, mounted on a chip contact pad of a semiconductor chip shown              
          as                                                                          





          element 42 into contact with a carrier contact pad shown as                 
          element 60.  The Examiner further argues that the solder                    
          region, element 55, is disclosed as having a composition which              
          includes at least a first component and a second component.                 
               The Examiner further points out that the carrier contact               
          pad includes a pad region having a composition which includes               
          at least a third component shown as element 62 in Figure 3.                 
               Appellants argue on page 11 of the brief, that claim 20                
          requires that the solder region includes at least a first                   
          component and a second component.  Appellants argue that this               
          is not taught or suggested by Brady and that the solder region              
          includes only a first component and does not have two                       
          components.  Appellants concluded that a specific limitation,
