          Appeal No. 2002-1046                                                        
          Application 08/861,831                                                      

          a completely different problem of providing a high voltage, high            
          frequency metal oxide semiconductor device.  We fail to find any            
          reason why one of ordinary skill in the art would have been led             
          to make the modification as proposed by the Examiner to                     
          substitute the Cauge high voltage, high frequency metal oxide               
          semiconductor shown in figure 8 for the balance selection                   
          transistors 53 shown in figure 29 of Matsumoto.                             
               In view of the foregoing, we have not sustained the                    
          Examiner’s rejection of claims 1 through 8 under 35 U.S.C. § 103.
