Let S be a minimal surface of general type with pg(S)=0 and such that the bicanonical map ϕ:S→ \ppK2S is a morphism: then the degree of ϕ is at most 4 and if it is equal to 4 then K2S≤ 6. Here we prove that if K2S=6 and °ϕ=4 then S is a so-called \em Burniat surface. In addition we show that minimal surfaces with pg=0, K2=6 and bicanonical map of degree 4 form a 4-dimensional irreducible connected component of the moduli space of surfaces of general type.
