            Appeal No. 2005-0814                                                                       
            Application No. 10/036,323                                                                 

                  Since neither Sze nor appellants’ specification explicitly                           
            defines the physical dimensions or extent of a “channel region,”                           
            we concur with the examiner’s expansive definition which appears                           
            to logically and reasonably follow from Huang’s characterization                           
            of a channel as practically synonymous with exemplified P type                             
            base (channel) region 14.                                                                  
                  There is no other dispute with regard to the examiner’s                              
            application of the cited references against claims 14, 16 and 18.                          
            Accordingly, for all of the foregoing reasons, the decision of                             
            the examiner is affirmed.                                                                  
















                                                  5
