research highlight - The organic molecule DNTT is a widely used organic semiconductor. The discovery of substrate induced phases has been succeeded recently, two different polymorphs are observed when the molecule is crystallized at substrate surfaces. These finding is important, since molecular packing has strong influence on the charge transport properties in thin film transistors.
