            Application 07/945,902                                                                      


                  In addition to the two Price patents disclosed in

            and concluding at column 1, line 45, what appear from the                                   
            context of their description, numerous other references                                     
            concerning the use of dichlorosilane in semiconductor                                       
            manufacture.  The appellants and the examiner should obtain                                 
            copies of these references and consider them in the sense of                                
            their relevance under 35 U.S.C.

                  The Koyama et al. translation which was attached to                                   
            appellants' brief appears from the table of contents to have                                
            been six pages long.  Whether or not that was a reference to                                
            the length of the article in English is not clear.  The text                                
            of the English translation attached to appellants' brief                                    
            occupies one page with two pages of tables attached.  If there                              
            are any additional pages of translation of the article,                                     
            appellants are required in any further prosecution to forward                               
            them to the examiner for his consideration.                                                 
                                               SUMMARY
