Nanostructured noble metal films on polymer layers are of fundamental importance in the field of organic electronics. Moreover, such material combinations have recently gained importance for stabilizing thin polymer films. We combine sputter deposition with grazing incidence X-ray scattering (GISAXS) to investigate in-situ [1-3] the growth kinetics of Au on polymethylmethacrylate. We analyze quantitatively the metal nanoparticle layer growth and compare our results with the metal layer structure on different model homopolymer films [4].
