          Appeal No. 2005-0773                                                        
          Application No. 09/517,987                                                  

               To the extent dependent claims 87 and 90 are argued by                 
          appellants at page 13 of the principal brief on appeal, the                 
          figures in Hsu show that the respective source and drain regions            
          24 and 26 in the substrate have a doping level of N, whereas the            
          upward, extended regions of the source and drain regions adjacent           
          to the gate electrode are represented by N+, thus indicating                
          respective light dopings and comparatively heavier doping levels.           
               In view of the foregoing, the decision of the examiner                 
          rejecting various claims on appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 102 and                
          35 U.S.C. § 103 is affirmed.
