          Appeal No. 1997-3967                                                        
          Application No. 08/482,058                                                  


               This is a decision on appeal from the final rejection of               
          claims 14, 16, 19 through 21, 23 and 26 through 28.  The final              
          rejection of claims 17, 18, 24 and 25 under 35 U.S.C. § 103                 
          has been withdrawn by the examiner in the answer and is not                 
          before us on appeal.                                                        
               The invention is directed to an integrated circuit                     
          structure having both bipolar and field effect transistors                  
          where the bipolar transistor is of the single polysilicon type              
          and has a thick dielectric between the base and the emitter                 
          polysilicon electrode plus a sidewall dielectric on the                     
          emitter electrode.                                                          
               Representative independent claim 14 is reproduced as                   
          follows:                                                                    
               14. An integrated circuit structure at a semiconductor                 
          surface of a body, comprising:                                              
               a bipolar transistor comprising:                                       
                    a collector region of a first conductivity type;                  
                    an intrinsic base region of a second conductivity                 
          type disposed at said surface and within said collector                     
          region;                                                                     
                    an emitter region of said first conductivity type                 
          disposed at said surface and within said intrinsic base                     
          region;                                                                     

                                          2
