          Appeal No. 2002-1167                                                         
          Application No. 09/089,445                                                   


               The appellants state that the claims stand or fall in four              
          groups (brief, page 4).  The only claims separately argued by the            
          appellants, however, are claims 9 and 14 with respect to the                 
          rejection over Cho in view of Zahurak (brief, page 8), and claims 9          
          and 14 are not rejected over this combination of references.  We             
          therefore limit our discussion to one claim to which each rejection          
          applies, i.e., claim 4 for the first two rejections and claim 23             
          for the third rejection.  See In re Ochiai, 71 F.3d 1565, 1566 n.2,          
          37 USPQ2d 1127, 1129 n.2 (Fed. Cir. 1995); 37 CFR                            
          § 1.192(c)(7)(1997).                                                         
               Rejections of claim 4 over Cho or Wu, in view of Zahurak                
               Cho discloses a capacitor (col. 1, line 8) comprising a double          
          sided electrode (207), a first conductive layer (208) in contact             
          with an inner side of the double sided electrode (figure 2F), a              
          second dielectric layer (210) in contact with the first dielectric           
          layer and the outer side of the double sided electrode (figure 2F),          
          and a second conductive layer (211), wherein the second dielectric           
          layer is between the first conductive layer and the second                   
          conductive layer (figure 2F).  Cho does not disclose the                     
          appellants’ first dielectric layer.                                          
               Wu discloses a capacitor (col. 1, line 11) comprising a double          
          sided electrode (22), a first conductive layer (22a) in contact              
                                          3
