Thin film technology is rapidly evolving today, and the characterization of the thin film and its surface have become very important issue not only from scientific but also technological viewpoints. Although x-ray diffraction measurements have been used as suitable evaluation methods in crystallography studies, its application to the structural evaluation of the thin films, especially organic one having the low electron densities, is not easy due to the small amounts of scattering volume and the high obstructive scattering noise from the substrate. However, the x-ray diffraction measurements under grazing incidence will aid not only in overcoming the such problems but also in analyzing in-plane structure of the thin films. Therefore, so-called grazing incidence x-ray diffraction (GIXD) has been recognized as one of the most powerful tools for the surface and thin film studies.

ABSTRACTWe are investigating well-ordered highly crystalline thin films made using organic molecular beam deposition (OMBD) since it is important to control the formation mechanism at the initial growth process. Then, we developed a new in situ technique of energy dispersive grazing incidence X-ray diffraction utilized within an ultrahigh vacuum system. This technique (in situ ED-GID) makes it possible to examine the crystal structure, orientation and morphology of organic thin films during deposition without any damage to the film. In the present review, we examined the growth process of thin films of functional organic dyes, fullerene (C60) and p-sexiphenyl (6P) by using this in situ ED-GID. The crystal strucutre and molecular orientation in epitaxially-grown thin films were confirmed during the initial stages of growth. Also, the morphology of C60 thin films was examined during the deposition. As a result, it was confirmed that the decay curves of X-ray fluorescence indicate different island growth in C60 thin films.
