          Appeal No. 1996-2094                                                        
          Application No. 08/302,085                                                  

          This is an appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 134 from the                            
          examiner’s refusal to allow claims 1 through 4 which are all                
          the claims remaining in the application. Claims 5 through 7                 
          were canceled in an amendment received March 30, 1993.                      
                                    THE INVENTION                                     
          The invention is directed to a multilayer thin film                         
          circuit substrate in which a conductor layer forming at least               
          one signal transmission path, each having an upper surface and              
          a periphery, is substantially surrounded by a first insulator               
          layer covering substantially all of the upper surface and the               
          periphery of each signal transmission path.  The first                      
          insulator layer is surrounded by a second insulator layer. The              
          dielectric constant of the second insulator layer is larger                 
          than the dielectric constant of the first insulator layer.                  
          Furthermore, the second insulator layer has more adhesiveness               
          than the first insulator layer.                                             
                                      THE CLAIM                                       
               Claim 1 is illustrative of appellants’ invention and is                
          reproduced below.                                                           
               1. A multilayer conductor thin film circuit substrate,                 
          comprising:                                                                 


                                          2
