The performance of electrical devices based on organic materials crucially depends on the charge transport properties. For the understanding of the charge carrier transport in organic molecular films knowledge on the density of states (DOS) is of fundamental importance. In this study, we present DOS measurements based on Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy (KPFM) [1, 2] of the organic n-type semiconductor C60 and the p-type semiconductor Para-hexaphenyl (6P). For the n-type conductor, the electron DOS and for the p-type conductor the hole density of states can be derived from the KPFM data. For this purpose, organic thin film transistor structures were prepared utilizing Hot Wall Epitaxy. The substrate temperature during deposition was varied between 273 K and 423 K resulting in films of different degrees of crystallinity. KPFM was then applied in inert atmosphere to prevent degradation of the films by oxidation. The results are discussed.
