          Application 08/327,447                                                      



                    a second level interconnect comprising means for                  
          electrically connecting the chip bonding pads to selected                   
          contacts on the printed circuit,                                            
                    the first interconnect being between the second                   
          level interconnect and the or each semiconductor chip.                      


                    30.   A semiconductor device comprising at least one              
          semiconductor chip, a package which encloses the at least one               
          semiconductor chip and a printed circuit which overlies and is              
          electrically connected to the at least one semiconductor chip               
          in the package and extends externally of the package to                     
          provide a plurality of outer leads.                                         
                    The Examiner relies on the following references:                  
          Fukuta et al. (Fukuta)        4,751,482           June 14, 1988

                                             (filed Mar. 24, 1989)                    

          Carlson et al. (Carlson)           4,953,005           Aug. 28,             
          1990                                                                        
                                             (filed Apr. 15, 1988)                    

                    Claims 19 through 27  stand rejected under 35 U.S.C.2                                             
          § 103 as being unpatentable over Kishida in view of Fukuta.                 
                    Claims 30 through 32 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C.               


               2Claims 25 through 27 are not specifically mentioned by the Examiner   
          in the Office Action and Answer, however Appellants have assumed that the Examiner intended to include claims 25
          through 27 in the 35 U.S.C. § 103 rejection over Kishida in view of Fukuta, thus we will treat them likewise.
