This enabled the fabrication of nano-engineered hetero-junctions and devices as commonly practiced for conventional semiconductors and metals. Here we report on the first observation of clear RHEED intensity oscillation in thin film fabrication of pi-conjugated molecular solid. The observation has been achieved by coupling a novel deposition method using a continuous-wave infrared laser for evaporation and a high sensitive RHEED detector, in addition to the combinatorial optimization of film deposition parameters that facilitated our preceding first success in the layer-by-layer growth of oxide thin films. Some details of system design and experimental conditions are presented to discuss the key factors for atomically controlled film growth of molecular solids.
