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: 2Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
