Micro-and nanopatterns of polythiophene covalently bound to silicon

摘要

Micro-and nanopatterns of polythiophene covalently bound to Si(111)have been generated from the photoelectrochemical oxidation of silicon surfaces patterned with thiophene-terminated decyl and decyl monolayers in the presence of thiophene.The procedure used for the attachment of these organic monolayers on silicon involved either UV photolithography or a highly diluted mixture of precursor alkenes.
