The electronic property of organic semiconductor depends strongly on the interfacial structure between organic molecule and the substrate. We have investigated the structure of a-sexithiophene ($$alpha$$-6T) molecule thin films grown on semiconductor surfaces including SiO$$_{2}$$, GaSe, and WSe$$_{2}$$, using NEXAFS spectroscopy. Using polarized X-ray, orientation structure of a-6T molecules can be precisely determined. It was found that the orientation structure depend on the substrates. $$alpha$$-6T on GaSe is oriented with long molecular axis being flat-lying parallel to the surface. On the hand, $$alpha$$-6T on SiO$$_{2}$$ is up-right standing. The tendency of orientation direction change was interpreted in terms of the interfacial interaction between $$alpha$$-6T molecule and the substrates.
