Appeal No. 2001-0046
Application 08/971,014
suggestions related to the claimed step of removing portions of
the layer of the second material and forming the specifically
shaped cavity exposing the contact region, as recited in
independent claims 1 and 8, are not shown. Accordingly, we do
not sustain the 35 U.S.C. § 103 rejection of independent claims 1
and 8, nor of claims 2-7 and 9-16 dependent thereon.
