          Application No. 08/743,405                                                  

               Mohsen discloses that bonding pads are distributed in a                
          regular pattern to make the bonding pads as general purpose as              
          possible and as such, like Bhatia, Mohsen includes additional               
          metallurgy on the surface of the top layer.  Therefore, we will             
          not sustain this rejection for the same reasons stated above for            
          the first rejection.                                                        
               The decision of the examiner is reversed.
