Appeal No. 2000-2100 Application No. 09/101,371 Claim 1 is illustrative of the claimed invention, and it reads as follows: 1. A semiconductor component composed of an integrated semiconductor chip having a first large side and a second large side, comprising: one power MOSFET or one power bipolar transistor having first terminal surfaces for an input and an ;output; a signal-processing circuit that processes a weak-current signal and that has second terminal surfaces on said second large side; a conductor frame; said first and second terminal surfaces connected to said conductor frame via a plurality of bond wires; said power MOSFET or power bipolar transistor having said input on said first large side and two symmetrically arranged outputs on said second large side; and said symmetrically arranged outputs bonded to said conductor frame via two symmetrically shaped bond wires carrying an almost same current. The reference relied on by the examiner is: Masuda et al. (Masuda) 5,029,267 July 2, 1991 Claims 1 and 2 stand rejected under the second paragraph of 35 U.S.C. § 112 for indefiniteness. Claims 1 and 2 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as being unpatentable over the admitted prior art figures in view of Masuda. 2Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
