The problem of in situ monitoring the film thickness by quartz microbalance during vacuum
deposition of organic-molecular semiconductors is addressed herein by setting a procedure for
sensor calibration based on ex situ analysis of the deposited molecular film by atomic-force
microscopy measurements. The procedure is applied to the growth of molecular-organic thin films
on silica. Some physical parameters of the materials are deduced
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
