Over the years, organic molecular crystals including metal-phthalocyanines or C
60 have attracted much attention as source materials for the next generation high-density optoelectronic devices. To fabricate such devices, formation of desired nanostructures is required. But it is difficult to apply conventional photolithography techniques to create the nanostructures of such organic materials. As the method to fabricate a nanostructure of an organic material, we payed much attention to a selective growth technique, which utilizes differences in the sticking coefficients of an organic material on various substrates. Here, we report the results of the selective growth of organic molecules on alkali halides and layered materials as the substrates. We also discuss a novel method to fabricate the organic molecule nanostructure, which takes advantage of a combination of the selective growth and scanning probe microscope lithography techniques.
