[Refereed][Not invited] We performed the STM spectroscopy measurement on deuterated kappa-(BEDT-TTF-d[n, n])(2)Cu[N(CN)(2)]Br to clarify the relation between the superconducting state and the strength of the electron correlation in organic superconductors BEDT-TTF family. We report the results for d[2,2]-salt and d[3,3]-salt with the stronger electron correlation than d[0,0]-salt. The superconducting gap observed as the differential conductance varied systematically depending on the direction of the lateral surface. From the analysis of angular dependent gap function, we found that the node direction of d-wave in d[2,2] and d[3,3] were along a* +/- c* same as d[0,0]. These directions were supported by the observation of the ZBCP near the node direction. It suggests that the dimerization, corresponding to the electron correlation, in both salts is still weak, although these salts are situated near a Mott boundary. While, the node direction rotates a little toward the c* axis in d[3,3] with larger dimerization.
