          Application 08/052,015                                                      


               1.   A semiconductor package, comprising:                              
               an electrically conductive package support member having               
          a central aperture therethrough;                                            
               a central electrode structure extending through the                    
          central aperture of the package support member and                          
          electrically isolated therefrom;                                            
               a plurality of semiconductor devices disposed on the                   
          package support member in an array surrounding the central                  
          electrode structure, each semiconductor device including first              
          and second electrodes wherein the first electrodes of the                   
          semiconductor devices are electrically interconnected by the                
          support member; and                                                         
               a first terminal electrically connected to the package                 
          support member;                                                             
               wherein the central electrode structure includes a bus                 
          for electrically interconnecting the second electrodes of the               
          semiconductor devices and a second terminal is coupled to the               
          bus.                                                                        
               The Examiner relies on the following references:                       
          Sutrina                       4,614,964           Sep. 30, 1986

               Claim 19 stands rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 112, first                  
          paragraph, as not describing the claimed invention in such                  
          full, clear, concise and exact terms as to enable any person                
          skilled in the art to make and use the same, and for failure                
          to provide an clear written description.  Claim 19 further                  
          stands rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 112, second paragraph for
