Appeal No. 95-0638 Application 08/011,094 This is a decision on the appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 134 from the examiner's rejection of claims 1-15, 36-43, 45-49 and 74-89. Claim 44 has been cancelled. Claims 16-35 and 50-73 stand withdrawn from consideration by the examiner as being directed to a nonelected invention. An amendment after the first action final rejection in this case was filed on June 28, 1993 and was entered by the examiner. This amendment resulted in the removal of a rejection of claim 1 under the second paragraph of 35 U.S.C. § 112. The disclosed invention pertains to the field of power microwave generating transistor modules and power transistor packages. These modules and packages generate a substantial amount of heat which limits the density of components which can be interconnected in a given space. Appellants have discovered that the conventional metallic heat dissipation layers can be replaced by copper layers of a specific thickness which improve the dissipation of heat so that the density of the device and the applied power can be increased without a corresponding increase in the temperature of the device. Representative claim 75 is reproduced as follows: 75. A power transistor package, comprising: a metallic base member; 2Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
