Biphenyl-4,4'-dithiol (BPDT) was deposited as stacked molecular layer onto several kinds of substrates by a molecular beam deposition technique. It was found that both the gold thin film and the potassium bromide (KBr) single crystal were effective substrates for the control of the molecular orientation and also that the lattice constants of the substrate were responsible for the control of crystallinity of BPDT thin films.
