Abstract
Direct Si-C functionalization of silicon surfaces via electrografting is used to create passive or reactive monolayers on the surface. Cathodic electrochemical grafting of phenyl acetylene (passive) and hexynoic acid (reactive) monolayers on (100) silicon is previously reported. The surface chemistry of the grafted monolayers is analyzed by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques. Versatile applications of the grafted monolayers in the fields of resists for selective copper electrodeposition, protein immobilization and impedance based biosensors are demonstrated. ©The Electrochemical Society.
