The molecule N,N'-Ditridecylperylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic diimide (PTCDIC-13) is a promising semiconductor for organic thin film transistors (TFTs). It is well known that the interfacial design is one crucial aspect of device tuning. We have shown before that the modification of electrodes with dithiocarbamate (DTC) self-assembling monolayers leads to a significantly enhanced transistor performance [1]. To gain a deeper understanding of this mechanism we have performed an investigation at the interface of PTCDI-C13 and noble metal surfaces, which are modified by DTCs. Therefore we have prepared thermally evaporated, ultra-flat samples with (111)-orientation of noble metals on mica and subsequently deposited PTCDI-C13 monolayers on the metals with and without SAM-modification. The energy level alignment between the PTCDI-C13 and the DTC modified metal surfaces has been determined by Ultraviolet Photoelectron Spectroscopy (UPS), while the chemical binding is investigated by X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS). The molecular orientations of the molecules are analyzed by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR).
