Interface Formation Between Mg and DiMe-PTCDI Studied by Raman Spectroscopy — •Beynor Antonio Paez Sierra, Georgeta Salvan, Reinhard Scholz, Thorsten U. Kampen und Dietrich R. T. Zahn — Institut für Physik, Technische Universität Chemnitz, 09107, Germany

The metal / organic interface plays an important role in the performance of devices with organic active layers. In particular the N,N′-DiMethyl-3,4,9,10-Perylene Tetra Carboxylic DiImide (DiMe-PTCDI) is a promising candidate in organic field effect transistors. Previous studies revealed that the interaction of Ag and In with DiMe-PTCDI is weak [1].

In this work the interface formation between Mg and DiMe-PTCDI films with different thicknesses grown on S-passivated GaAs (100) substrates is investigated in situ by Raman spectroscopy. When Mg is deposited onto a 15 nm DiMePTCDI film the external molecular modes are preserved even up to 15 nm Mg coverage, indicates a low diffusion of Mg into the DiMePTCDI film. Concerning the internal molecular modes, the Mg deposition induces a break down of selection rules reflecting a dynamical charge transfer between the DiMe-PTCDI molecules and the metal. This is in contrast to the Mg / PTCDA interface where strong reaction was observed.
