          Appeal No. 1998-1871                                       Page 7           
          Application No. 08/383,112                                                  


          references (i.e., Tezuka, Komiyama, Suzuki and Perlov) but                  
          find nothing therein which would have suggested a heater                    
          capable of sufficiently heating a semiconductor substrate in a              
          vacuum chamber to degas the substrate as set forth in the                   
          claims under appeal.                                                        


               Since all the limitations of the claims under appeal are               
          not suggested by the applied prior art, the decision of the                 
          examiner to reject claims 1 through 8 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is              
          reversed.
