TTF-TCNQ thin films grown by Organic CVD: Texture and transport properties

Thin films of TTF-TCNQ were grown on KCl (001) substrates by Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition (OCVD). The experiments were carried out on a horizontal hot wall reactor using TTF and TCNQ as precursors and argon as carrier gas. The obtained films are polycrystalline, showing a different in-plane texture depending on the substrate temperature. The electrical conductivity of the films was studied by means of four-probe measurements.
