Abstract

We investigate the heterojunction effect between para-sexiphenyl (p-6P) and copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) using Kelvin probe force microscopy. CuPc films are grown on the inducing layer p-6P by a weak epitaxy growth technique. The surface potential images of Kelvin probe force microscopy indicate the band bending in CuPc, which reduces grain boundary barriers and lead to the accumulation of holes in the CuPc layer. The electrical potential distribution on the surface of heterojunction films shows negligible grain boundary barriers in the CuPc layers. The relation between band bending and grain boundary barrier in the weak epitaxy growth thin films is revealed.
