          Application NO. 08/276,290                                                  



          region, said first source and drain regions having a first                  
          doping and a second depth from said first surface, less than                
          said first depth; and                                                       
               (d) forming an emitter region of said first conductivity               
          type of a bipolar transistor structure in said second well                  
          region, said second well region forming the base region of                  
          said bipolar transistor structure and said substrate forming                
          the collector region of said bipolar transistor structure,                  
          such that said emitter region has a second doping greater than              
          that of said first source and drain regions, and a third depth              
          from said first surface deeper than said second depth of said               
          first source and drain regions said first MOS structure.                    

               In rejecting Appellants' claims, the Examiner relies on                
          Appellants' admitted prior art in Appellants' Specification                 
          and Figure 1 and the following two other listed references:

               Claims 3-29, 31 and 32 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. §                
          103 as being obvious over the combination of Appellants'                    
          admitted prior art and Tanabe et al. ("Tanabe") and Sagara et               
          al. ("Sagara").  Rather than repeat the arguments of                        
          Appellants and Examiner, we refer the reader to the
