Abstract

A several-hundred Ångstrom thick ordered crystalline organic heterojunction consisting of copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) and 3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic dianhydride (PTCDA) is grown by organic vapor phase deposition (OVPD) on a template alkali- halide substrate. This method of low-temperature thin-film templating combines the control of film growth with crystalline ordering approaching that of organic single crystals, producing potentially useful heterojunctions for high efficiency organic thin-film devices.

8. A number of terms including incommensurate epitaxy point‐on‐line epitaxy coincident epitaxy and quasi‐epitaxy have been used to describe ordered organic film growth where the relationship between the substrate and incommensurate adlayer lattices involves rotational relationships determined by energetic minima in the soft van der Waals interactions. Here quasi‐epitaxy will be used to describe growth lacking short‐range commensurability that exhibits a distinct orientational alignment between substrate and film lattices. (see ref. [6]).
