Synchrotron mapping IR ellipsometer at BESSY[1] was used for investigation of molecular orientation and lateral homogeneity in different organic-GaAs hybrid diodes with a lateral resolution below 1 mm2. Organic films on GaAs and Au are compared, the organic layer being either octanedithiol (C8DT), or hexadecanethiol (C16MT). Analysis of the CH2 stretching vibrations provides informations on the structure of the main backbone, while the CH3 stretching bands is giving informations about the structure and orientation of the end group of the molecules. The bands for C16MT on GaAs show a different orientation in comparison with C8DT. Evaluation of measured spectra with optical models enables spectra interpretation.
