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 2Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
