The Rejection of Claims 1-4 Under 35 U.S.C. ' 103(a)
The examiner has found that Saitoh teaches a carrier member for
seating a device having a plurality of solder terminals, the carrier
member comprising a substrate having a plurality of landing pads
thereon. The examiner interprets the elements having depressions
located above elements 1 as being landing pads. The examiner has
also found that Saitoh teaches a plurality of leads on the substrate
which are in electrical communication with the landing pads on the
substrate, wherein at least one of the plurality of landing pads has
a depression therein adapted for seating at least one of the solder
terminals on the device. (Examiner=s Answer, page 4, lines 5-10).
