Appeal No. 95-3312
Application 08/167,437
claims 6-13 and 26. Claims 14-22, which are the only other
claims remaining in the application, have been withdrawn from
consideration by the examiner as being directed toward a
nonelected invention.
THE INVENTION
Appellants claim a composite comprised of a specified
substrate having thereon an MgO buffer layer on which is
disposed a thin film of a specified superconducting material.
Claim 26 is illustrative and reads as follows:
26. A semiconductor substrate-superconducting thin film
composite comprising a single crystal semiconductor substrate,
a superconducting thin film layer of compound oxide and an MgO
buffer layer interposed between said semiconductor substrate
and said superconducting layer, wherein said semiconductor
substrate is made of a semiconductor selected from the group
consisting of 3C-SiC, 6H-SiC, GaAs, GaP, InP, InSb, ZnSe,
CdTe, HgCdTe, GaInAs, InAlAs and InGaAsP and said compound
oxide is composed of at least one element selected from Group
IIa of the Periodic Table, at least one element selected from
Group IIIa of the Periodic Table, and copper.2
THE REFERENCES
2 In claim 26 it appears that “Group IIIa” should read
“Group IIIb” and that appellants’ specification should be
corrected accordingly. Note that on page 6 of the
specification, third to fifth lines from the bottom, the
listed elements are in Group IIIb rather than Group IIIa as
stated in the fifth line from the bottom.
