The spectro-microscope SMART, an aberration corrected high resolution LEEM/PEEM (Low Energy/Photo-Emission Electron Microscope) system, has been used to investigate the growth of thin organic films on metal substrates and their interaction. The growth of PTCDA (3,4,9,10 perylene-tetracarboxylic-acid dianhydrid) on a single-crystalline Ag(111) surface has been observed in-situ and in real-time at substrate temperatures between 220 and 390~K. LEEM, PEEM and LEED studies reveal the dependence of the growth mode, the structure and the phase formation on both, the temperature and the substrate morphology. Whereas PTCDA grows in a mound like quasi layer-by-layer fashion at low temperatures, Stranski-Krastanov growth (i.e. a bi-layer followed by 3D islands) occurs above room temperature. Details of the real-time investigation like the dynamic behaviour of the growing layers, the metastability and desorption of single layers will be discussed. (Funded by BMBF, contract 05KS4WWB/4)
