IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

OKI AMERICA, INC., et al,

Plaintiffs/Counterdefendants,

 v.

 ADVANCED MICRO DEVICES, INC.,

Defendant/Counterclaimant.

 /

No. C 04-03171 CRB

ORDER

Now pending before the Court is Oki’s motion for leave to file a motion for

reconsideration of the Court’s denial of Oki’s motion for summary judgment of invalidity of

AMD’s ‘732 patent. Oki’s motion is DENIED. First, the Court previously considered and

addressed Oki’s arguments with respect to the illustration in Thomas. Second, the Dixit

Patent explicitly disclaims holes large enough to be filled by sputtering techniques without a

step coverage problem. ‘732 1:42-43 (“To overcome this problem, a plug of a conducting

material may be used to fill the contact”). 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: Dec. 5, 2006
