Appeal No. 2006-2832
Application No. 09/833,953
With the teachings of Zaccherini, Erdeljac and Shao before us, we assert that
to one of ordinary skill in this art, fabricating the same combination of transistor
and resistor, would be motivated to minimize the number of layers and thus costs,
and thereby would be motivated to incorporate the teachings of the N-well of
Erdeljac and the blocking layer of Shao in the process of Zaccherini.
It is our view, after consideration of the record before us, that the evidence
relied upon and the level of skill in the particular art would have suggested to one
of ordinary skill in the art the invention as set forth in claims 14, 15 and 17 to 23.
