Thin films of 2,4,6-tris-(2,2-bisphenyl-propane)- 1,3,5-triazine (p-CP
C trimer), deposited on clean, oxidized and H2O-saturated Si(100) surf
aces, have been investigated by X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS)
, Ultraviolet Photoelectron Spectroscopy (UPS), Metastable Impact Elec
tron Spectroscopy (MIES) and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). The spectr
oscopic results indicate a preferential molecular orientation due to t
he interaction of the trioxytriazine rings with the substract surfaces
. The study of the surface topography during film formaiton exhibits c
haracteristic two dimensional domain patterns caused by a selforganiza
tion process.
