STM CHARACTERIZATION OF ORGANIC-MOLECULES ON H-TERMINATED SI(111)

We present the first high resolution STM images of organic molecules on the technological important hydrogen terminated silicon surface. Ordered layers of PTCDA and PTCDI were prepared on this surface by organic molecular beam epitaxy. The submolecular contrast of these molecules on Si(111)/H obtained in the high resolution images agrees with the corresponding images on HOPG and MoS2 substrates.
