Appeal No. 1997-1249
Application 08/179,601
indication of its status appears in Paper No. 10. However,
the status of claim 21 is moot since it was canceled by an
entered amendment after final rejection, Paper No. 12,
received February 12, 1996, which paper also canceled claims
14, 16 through 20 and 22 through 26. This amendment (Paper
No. 12) also added new claims 28 through 32, and amended claim
27. As a result of the amendment of Paper No. 12, claims 2
through 4, 11 through 13 and 28 through 32 stand finally
rejected and claim 27 stands allowable as recited in the
Examiner’s Advisory Action, Paper No. 13, mailed March 14,
1996. The invention relates to a radiation detector
made of solid state materials. In particular, noting Figure
1, the detector (3) is made up of a stack of absorption
members (4) where each member is an intrinsic (i) layer (6,8)
(of high density, high band gap semi-conductor) with a
relatively thin high conductivity layer p (7) or n (5,9) layer
(or a metal), that covers each entire face of the i layer and
with a bias across each i layer via a pair of the p/n or metal
layers.
Representative independent claim 28 is reproduced as
