Self-assembly of iron(II) phthalocyanine (FePc) molecules on a Ge(001):H surface results in monolayer islands extending over hundreds of nanometers and comprising upright-oriented entities. Scanning tunneling spectroscopy reveals a transport gap of 2.70 eV in agreement with other reports regarding isolated FePc molecules. Detailed analysis of single FePc molecules trapped at surface defects indicates that the molecules stay intact upon adsorption and can be manipulated away from surface defects onto a perfectly hydrogenated surface. This allows for their isolation from the germanium surface.

This study observes the morphology of self-assembled organic thin film that is formed at room temperature using a Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) and examines its electrical properties using a Scanning Tunneling Spectroscopy (STS). The specimen used in this experiment that has a functional group for both sides and will be controlled to make self-assembled onto the Au (111) substrate. After the dilution of the specimen by 1 mM/ml and self-assembled onto the Au (111) substrate. Using a STM, the images of organic thin film can be observed. In addition, the electrical properties of organic thin film can also be examined by the junction structure of STM–organic thin film– Au (111) substrate by using a STM tip. As a result, we measured current–voltage (I–V) curve using STS, I–V curve also clearly shows several current peaks between the negative bias region (-1.42 V) and the positive bias region (1.30 V), respectively.
