          Appeal No. 96-3700                                                          
          Application 08/306,795                                                      



                    This is a decision on appeal from the final rejec-                
          tion of claims 1 through 16, all of the claims pending in the               
          present application.  In an amendment filed after the final                 
          rejection and entered by the Examiner, claims 1 through 11                  
          have been canceled.                                                         
                    The invention relates to a bipolar transistor having              
          a plurality of coupled delta doped layers in the emitter,                   
          collector and base regions.  More particularly, on page 6 of                
          the specifi-cation, Appellants disclose that Figure 5 shows a               
          bipolar transistor structure having delta layers which extend               
          into the emitter 16 and into the collector 12.                              
                    The independent claim 12 is reproduced as follows:                
                    12.  A bipolar transistor comprising                              
                    semiconductor body,                                               
                    a first region in said semiconductor body of a first              
          conductivity type and forming an emitter region,                            
                    a second region in said semiconductor body of said                
          first conductivity type spaced from said first region and                   
          forming a collector region,                                                 
                    a third region in said semiconductor body between                 
          said first region and said second region and forming a base                 
          region, said third region including a plurality of delta-doped              
          layers of a second conductivity type, said delta-doped layers               
          being spaced to allow coupling between delta-doped layers for               
                                          2
