Appeal No. 95-4959
Application 08/145,722
to 23.
The claimed invention pertains to a multiple peak resonant tunneling diode device having two
resonant tunneling diodes connected in parallel.
Representative claim 1 is reproduced as follows:
1. A multiple peak resonant tunneling diode device comprising:
a first resonant tunneling diode; and
at least one other resonant tunneling diode in parallel with said first resonant tunneling diode.
The examiner relies on the following references:

Claims 6-10 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 112, second paragraph, as failing to particularly
point out and distinctly claim the subject matter of the invention. Claims 1, 3, 5 and 6 stand rejected
under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) as being anticipated by the disclosure of Capasso. Claim 2 stands rejected
under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over the teachings of
