Thus, the claim language “the heavily doped layer is adapted to improve interface quality between the active substrate and the handle substrate” must be read to determine how the language limits the structure of the photodiode; the layer need not be added for the reason set forth by the claim. See In re Michlin, 256 F.2d 317, 320 (CCPA 1958) (“It is well settled that patentability of apparatus claims must depend upon structural limitations and not upon statements of function.”).
