The high charge carrier mobility and chemical stability of dinaphthothienothiophene (DNTT) render this new organic semiconductor (OSC) especially interesting for organic field effect transistors (OFETs) [1, 2]. Despite such device advances, the structure and morphology of DNTT thin films are so far rather unexplored. On the prototypical substrates SiO2 and graphene we prove a substrate-mediated control of the molecular orientation by means of NEXAFS and XRD measurements. Furthermore, by using atomic force microscopy (AFM) and photoelectron emission microscopy (PEEM) we analyzed the morphology of DNTT films with variable thicknesses and find a temporal dewetting of these films. This pronounced island formation leads to a breakup of the film which is most efficient for thin films of a few monolayers. Finally we have extend this study also to device relevant substrates by analyzing DNTT films that were grown on SAM treated dielectrics. Again a district dewetting is found, which is expected to affect the long-term performance of DNTT devices and appears surprising in view of the reported long term stability of DNTT-OFETs [2].
