Appeal No. 2000-2060 Application 08/568,209 Since claims 2-6, 8-12, 14, 16-17, 19-20 and 22 are dependent on independent claims 1, 13 and 18, we also cannot sustain the art rejections of these claims. In conclusion, we find the Hess reference in combination with Tango and Hawkins fail to disclose, teach or suggest a multi-functional layer having a first portion that functions as a channel of the transistor as recited in claim 1, an uninterrupted layer of conductive material inter-connected between and forming at least a part of the transistor and the resistor and wherein preselected portions of the uninterrupted layer of conductive material are doped at different levels such that a first portion of the layer functions as a channel of the transistor as recited in claim 13, or the step of inter-connecting the transistor with an uninterrupted layer of conductive material so that a first portion of the layer functions as a channel of the transistor as 12Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
