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. 6Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
