                                  DECISION ON APPEAL                                  
               This is a decision on appeal from the examiner's final                 
          rejection of claims 1 through 16 and 18, which are all of the               
          claims pending in this application.

          biasing a semiconductor chip substrate.  Claim 13 is                        
          illustrative of the claimed invention, and it reads as                      
          follows:
