                 NAPPI, Administrative Patent Judge.                                                                   

                                              DECISION ON APPEAL                                                       


                        This is a decision on appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 134 of the final rejection of                   
                 claims 9 through 14, 21 and 22                                                                        
                                                      Invention                                                        
                        The invention relates to a method of making a MOS gated device.  The                           
                 method makes use of polysilicon stripes to define a mask for the formation of                         
                 three sequential regions, the first being a base diffusion, the second being a                        
                 source diffusion and the third being a higher concentration base region which                         
                 underlies the first base and does not invade the invertible channel formed by the                     
                 first base and source.  See page 4 of appellant’s specification.                                      


                                                           1
