Supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) are suited to gain insight into the physical behavior of cell membranes. In this work, DPPC deposition by Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) is performed on silicon (100) substrates at different substrate temperatures and deposition rates. Our goal is finding growth parameters, to optimize coverage and homogeneity of the DPPC SLBs. We observe a modification of topologies and Young moduli and an optimization of the homogeneity for substrate temperatures between 310 and 315 K and deposition rates in the range of 0,78 to 0,93 Å/min. Homogeneous, planar biomimic phospholipid membranes avail protein insertion and an easier detection of ionic channels which will form in case of Gramicidin [Kelkar et. al, BBA 1768 (2007) 2011-25].
