No. 10, page 3, referred to in the Final Rejection, Paper
No. 13; Examiner's Answer, page 4):

electrode and the enlarging layer are made of the same
material, therefore an arbitrary border can be drawn
around the outer periphery of the storage electrode and
labeled an enlarging layer.
The examiner further finds that Ogawa and Bae do not teach a
dielectric layer of tantalum pentoxide as recited in
claim 12 and concludes that providing a layer of tantalum
pentoxide would have been obvious over Reinberg (Paper
No. 10, page 4; Examiner's Answer, page 4).
Claims 14-28 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as
