          Appeal No. 1998-2876                                                        
          Application No. 08/592,930                                                  

               The subject matter on appeal relates to an organic thin                
          film transistor comprising a source electrode and a drain                   
          electrode positioned in spaced apart relationship on a film of              
          organic semiconductor material with uniaxially aligned                      
          molecules that are aligned between the source and drain                     
          electrodes in a direction from the source to the drain                      
          electrodes and an orientation film positioned adjacent the                  
          film of organic semiconductor material so that molecular                    
          uniaxial alignment of the film of organic semiconductor                     
          material is achieved.  Further details of this appealed                     
          subject matter are set forth in representative independent                  
          claim 1 which reads as follows:                                             
               1. An organic thin film transistor comprising:                         
               a gate electrode positioned on a layer of gate insulator               
          material;                                                                   
               a source electrode and a drain electrode positioned in                 
          spaced apart relationship on a film of organic semiconductor                
          material with uniaxially aligned molecules, the film of                     
          organic semiconductor material being positioned so that the                 
          uniaxially aligned molecules are aligned between the source                 
          and drain electrodes in a direction from the source to the                  
          drain electrodes, the layer of gate insulator material being                
          operatively positioned adjacent to and in parallel with the                 
          film of organic semiconductor material; and                                 
               an orientation film positioned adjacent the film of                    
          organic semiconductor material so that molecular uniaxial                   
          alignment of the film of organic semiconductor material is                  
                                          2
