Appeal No. 1998-2956
Application No. 08/709,964
in the disclosure of Inoue since Inoue discloses that the aluminum pillar has the disclosed
benefits which have not been disclosed with respect to the use of polysilicon.
In our view, the examiner has found the component parts of the pillar capacitor using
different materials, but we find that the examiner has not provided a teaching of pillars
formed of polysilicone or a line of reasoning to use polysilicon in place of the disclosed
aluminum in Inoue. Therefore, we cannot sustain the rejection of claim 20 and its
dependent claims 21-23.
