Organic thin films present a high interest due to their potential use in a large variaty of applications: biosensors, microelectronical and optical devices. In the current work Infrared Spectroscopic Ellipsometry was used for chemical and structural characterisation of biofunctional surfaces as well as for investigation of the lateral homogeneity of organic monolayers for GaAs hybrid diodes[1]. The samples were studied using a lab FTIR ellipsometer and the FTIR synchrotron mapping ellipsometer located at the IR beamline at BESSY II[2]. The mapping system enables investigation of heterogeneous samples with monolayer sensitivity and a lateral resolution below 1 mm2. Besides the molecular identification, evaluation of the measured spectra with simulations using optical layer models gives informations about thickness, homogeneity and orientation of the molecules.
