The epitaxial growth of organic thin film has been studied. Islands with sharp edge, flat top and nearly uniform height are formed on metal crystalline substrate at certain range of growth temperatures. To understand the mechanism of the islands formation, a model is proposed in which the binding energy of molecules at the step edge is various at different terraces due to the lattice mismatching of the first monolayer and the three-dimensional island beyond the first monolayer. Both the ascending and descending interlayer transport processes are considered. The numerical simulations of the rate equations based on this model are consistent well with the experimental results.
