          Appeal No. 2000-2060                                                        
          Application 08/568,209                                                      


               Since claims 2-6, 8-12, 14, 16-17, 19-20 and 22 are                    
          dependent on independent claims 1, 13 and 18, we also cannot                
          sustain the art rejections of these claims.                                 
               In conclusion, we find the Hess reference in combination               
          with Tango and Hawkins fail to disclose, teach or suggest a                 
          multi-functional layer having a first portion that functions as a           
          channel of the transistor as recited in claim 1, an uninterrupted           
          layer of conductive material inter-connected between and forming            
          at least a part of the transistor and the resistor and wherein              
          preselected portions of the uninterrupted layer of conductive               
          material are doped at different levels such that a first portion            
          of the layer functions as a channel of the transistor as recited            
          in claim 13, or the step of inter-connecting the transistor with            
          an uninterrupted layer of conductive material so that a first               
          portion of the layer functions as a channel of the transistor as
