Recently, there has been a wide range of interest in thin organic film fabrication technique. The Langmuir-Blodgett technique is one of the most promising techniques for fabricating ultra-thin organic films. In this paper, recent topics in LB films are summarized from the point of view of film fabrication technique.
Particularly, insulating and conducting LB films are described. Polyimide LB films having a monolayer thickness of about 4Å, polybutadiene LB films, hetero structure LB films, and so on are briefly mentioned. LB technique is now rapidly progressing, and highly controlled LB films with excellent crystallity will be produced in the near future.
