Appeal No. 1997-0515
Application 08/350,504
suggest to those skilled in the art to modify Kotani's sub-
strate 10 doping level and the epitaxial layer 20's doping
level. Furthermore, we fail to find that there is any sugges-
tion or teaching to modify Kotani to provide additional
epitaxial layers as suggested by the Examiner. Finally, we
fail to find that there is any suggestion in Shibata to use
the silicon oxide film for sidewalls in Kotani's structure.
We have not sustained the rejection of claims 10 and
14 through 16 under 35 U.S.C. § 103. Accordingly, the
Examiner's decision is reversed.
