          Appeal No. 1998-0096                                                        
          Application No. 08/518,182                                                  


          Fujimoto, Saito (JP4-6841), Chun and Tsukagoshi, because                    
          Tsukagoshi does not make up for the deficiencies of Fujimoto,               
          Saito (JP4-6841), and Chun, as discussed above regarding                    
          claims 21 through 23.                                                       
                          Rejection under 37 CFR § 1.196(b)                           
               Pursuant to the provisions of 37 CFR § 1.196(b), we                    
          hereby enter the following new grounds of rejection:                        
               Claims 7 through 18, 21 through 27, and 29 through 33 are              
          rejected for failure to comply with the written description                 
          requirement of the first paragraph of 35 U.S.C. § 112.  In                  
          particular, we find that the originally filed application                   
          disclosure does not support the recitations "the cross section              
          area of said single polymer body. . .has a circular shape and               
          is smaller than that of each said integrated circuit element                
          input/output pad; . . ." (claims 7 and 9), "the cross section               
          area of said single polymer body. . .has a circular shape and               
          is smaller than that of each said substrate input/output pad;               
          . . ." (claim 8), "said composite bumps have a circular cross               
          section;  . . ." (claim 21), "the cross section area of said                
          single polymer body. . .is smaller than that of each said                   
          integrated circuit element input/output pad. . . " (claim 22),              
                                         40
