               Appeal 2007-2460                                                                           
               Application 10/709,179                                                                     
               [2] forming at least a bump pad on the backside of the chip; and [3] forming               
               a bump on the bump pad.  (Appeal Br. Claims Appendix, Independent Claim                    
               15).                                                                                       

               2)    ASE’s specification states that its invention provides a method of                   
               fabricating bumps on the backside of a chip.  (‘179 Specification, ¶ 13).                  

               3)    ASE’s specification teaches that a metallic layer is formed on the                   
               backside of a chip and the metallic layer is patterned to form a bump pad.                 
               (Id.).                                                                                     

               4)    ASE’s specification states that its bumps are attached to the metallic               
               bump pads.  (Id.).                                                                         

               B.    The Prior Art                                                                        
                     1.     Ono, U.S. Pub. 2003/0107129                                                   
               5)    Ono is directed to method for fabricating a resin encapsulated                       
               semiconductor device.  (Ono, Abstract).
