          Appeal No. 2003-0524                                                          
          Application No. 09/593,816                                                    


                  The Rejection of Claims 5-8 Under 35 U.S.C. ' 103(a)                  
               Claim 5 recites the limitation that the bonding pads comprise            
          eutectic solder.  The examiner has found that Glenn discloses                 
          eutectic solder bonding pads, and the appellant urges that Glenn              
          does not cure the argued deficiencies in the combination of AAPA and          
          Saitoh.  We agree with the appellant. As claims 5-8 depend from               
          claim 1, and we have reversed that rejection for the reasons stated           
          above, we consequently reverse this rejection as well.                        
                                   Summary of Decision                                  
               The rejection of claims 1-4 under 35 U.S.C. ' 103(a) over                
          Saitoh and AAPA is reversed.                                                  
               The rejection of claims 5-8 under 35 U.S.C. '103(a) over Saitoh          
          and AAPA in view of Glenn is reversed.
