            Appeal No. 2004-0078                                                                      
            Application No. 09/920,420                                                                


            be uniform throughout the layer as the concentration is in the p-                         
            region of cap layer 16 in Rosbeck.                                                        
                  For the foregoing reasons, we determine that the examiner has                       
            not established a prima facie case of obviousness in view of the                          
            reference evidence.  Accordingly, we cannot sustain the examiner’s                        
            rejection of claims 1-5 and 11-15 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as                             
            unpatentable over Rosbeck in view of Kataoka.                                             

























                                                  5
