Abstract

The structural investigations of model organic systemslike pentacene on silicon oxide in the monolayer regime is veryimportant for the basic understanding of initial nucleation processtogether with the electronic performance of transistor devices. Amethod for the evaluation of the island formation and layer closingof the first monolayer is introduced. The method is based onspecular X-ray reflectivity and diffuse scattering and revealintegral information on the coverage together with the size andseparation of pentacene islands. The results are in good agreementwith AFM investigation that encourages the use of this type ofinvestigation in in-situ experiments.
