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 2Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
