                                 DECISION ON APPEAL                                   
               This is a decision on appeal from the examiner's final                 
          rejection of claims 14 through 27, which are all of the claims              
          pending in this application.                                                
               Appellants' invention relates to a method of manufacturing a           
          semiconductor device having two types of transistors formed on a            
          single substrate.  The method includes introducing an impurity              
          into the polysilicon layer of both transistors, wherein the                 
          impurity dosage for one transistor differs from the impurity                
          dosage for the other.  Claim 14 is illustrative of the claimed              
          invention, and it reads as follows:
