Abstract
A method of forming an organic thin film includes developing organic molecules having a hydrophilic portion and a hydrophobic portion on a water surface, and compressing the organic molecules thereby to form a monomolecular layer of a predetermined surface pressure. The monomolecular layer is brought into contact with a given substrate. Then, the substrate to which the monomolecular layer is adhered, is pulled at such a rate that the surface pressure is not substantially lowered, thus transferring the monomolecular layer onto the substrate.
