FUNCTIONALIZATION OF Si(111) SURFACES WITH THIOPHENE-TERMINATED MONOLAYERS FOR THE ELECTRODEPOSITION OF COVALENTLY BOUND POLYTHIOPHENE

摘要

The organic functionalization of semiconductor surfaces constitutes an attractive approach for designing novel well-defined interfaces for numerous applications,such as molecular electronics,photovoltaic devices and chemical/biological sensing.Among the various approaches,reactions of hydrogen-terminated silicon surfaces,Si(111)-H,have been demonstrated to be one of the most versatile to yield monolayers tailored with unique chemical and interfacial properties.
