Application No. 09/146,478
APPEALED SUBJECT MATTER
Claims 1, 16 and 29 are representative of the subject matter on appeal and read as follows:
1. An article comprising a plurality of green tape layers aligned with a support substrate having
a bonding glass layer thereon, the article having a single topmost layer over the green tape layers,
the topmost layer comprising a ceramic having a sintering temperature higher than the ceramic of
the green tape layers admixed with about 40 percent by weight of a resin binder.
16. A method of providing a green tape stack having improved dimensional control comprising
a) aligning a plurality of green tapes on a metal support substrate having a bonding
glass layer thereon,
b) providing a single topmost layer over said aligned green tapes of an inert ceramic
having a sintering temperature higher than the sinterimg [sic.sintering] temperature
of the green tape ceramic admixed with about 40 percent by weight of a resin binder
to form an inert ceramic tape.
29. An article comprising a plurality of green tape layers aligned with a metal support substrate
having a bonding glass layer thereon, the green tape layers having one or more punched cavities
therein, the article having a single topmost layer over the green tape layers, said topmost layer
comprising a ceramic having a sintering temperature higher than the ceramic of the green tape layers
admixed with a resin binder.
