Appeal No. 95-2928
Application No. 07/769,185
Accordingly, while the examiner has presented a
well-written answer, clearly setting forth a not
unreasonable rationale for a finding of obviousness,
since the examiner has pointed to nothing but the general
drawing in Lineback to suggest that Lineback’s structure
has the claimed property of certain portions of the
source/drain regions not containing the first
conductivity type dopant used to form the halo regions
and there is nothing in Lineback’s descriptive portion to
indicate that the structure was formed in any particular
manner which would have necessarily resulted in a
structure having the claimed characteristics, on balance,
we find ourselves in agreement with appellant that the
claimed subject matter would not have been obvious within
the meaning of 35 U.S.C. ' 103.
