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


          single polysilicon bipolar device of Denda since Denda does                 
          not need this insulator “because there is no p+ conductor                   
          above the base” [brief, page 4].                                            
               We have sustained the rejection of claims 25 through 27                
          under 35 U.S.C. § 112, second paragraph.  We have also                      
          sustained the rejection of claims 14, 16, 19, 21, 23, 26 and                
          28 under 35 U.S.C. § 103.  We have, however, not sustained the              
          rejection of claims 20 and 27 under 35 U.S.C. § 103.                        
          Accordingly, the examiner’s decision is affirmed-in-part.
