Interfaces between the organic semiconductor α‐sexithiophene and sputter‐cleaned (ideal) metals or contaminated (realistic) metals are investigated by a combined X‐ray and UV photoemission spectroscopic study. The experimental results indicate a substantial impact of metal‐surface contamination on the electronic properties of the interface. In particular, the hole‐injection barrier is almost independent of the type of the underlying metal (see figure).
