A Solid Ag Film Deposited from Solution on Self—assembled Mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane （MPTS） Monolayer

Mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane (MPTS) bearing mercapto groups was used to form self-assembly monolayers (SAMs) on glass substrates by solution extraction.SEM,XRD and rubbing test analysis illustrated that the Ag film on the SAMs-modified glass was more durable than that on the commonly-modified glass and that the crystallinity of Ag film on the SAMs-modified glass was identical with those of the Ag film on the commonly-modified glass and pure Ag.     

Preparation and Characterization of Ag2 O/Organicsilicone Self-assemblied Composite Film

The composite film of nanometer AgO2/silane coupling reagent aminopropyltriethoxy-silane (CH3O)3Si(CH2)3NH2was prepared on single-crystal silicon by the self-assembly of silane on the hydroxylated substrate followed with the deposition of nanometer AgO2 on the silane SAMs from an aqueous Ag2O gel. The resultant composite film was characterized by means of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The contact angles of distilled water on the silane SAMs and the composite film were measured to compare the surface states. The experiment shows that the nanometer Ag2O can be easily incorporated in the silane SAMs and lead to changed surface state of the composite film. Nanometer Ag2O crystallites in a size of about 20 nm distribute quite uniformly in the composite film. It was anticipated that the composite film might find application to the protection of single-crystal Si substrate in MEMS devices and also propose a novel single electron device structure based on nanoscale Ag2O colloidal particles.

Self-assembled monolayers of alkaneselenolates on (111) gold and silver

Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) formed from didodecyl diselenide (C12SeSeC12) and didodecyl selenide (C12SeC12) on (111) Au and Ag substrates were extensively characterized by several complementary techniques. C12SeSeC12 was found to form contamination-free, densely packed, and well-ordered C12Se SAMs on both substrates, whereas the adsorption of C12SeC12 occurred only on Au and resulted in the formation of a SAM-like C12SeC12 film with a low packing density and a conformational disorder. The properties of the C12Se SAMs were compared with those of dodecanethiolate (C12S) SAMs. The packing density, orientational order, and molecular inclination in C12Se/Au and C12S/Au were found to be very similar. In contrast, C12Se/Ag exhibited significantly lower packing density, a lower degree of the conformational and orientational order, and a larger molecular inclination than C12S/Ag. The results suggest a sp3 bonding configuration for the selenium atom on Au and Ag and indicate a larger corrugation of the headgroup-substrate binding energy surface in C12Se/Ag than in C12S/Ag.

Weak interactions between deposited metal overlayers and organic functional groups of self-assembled monolayers

The purpose of our research is to study the reactions, interactions or penetration between vacuum-deposited metals (M) and the organic functional end groups (OFGs) of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) under controlled conditions. Metal/SAM systems are models for understanding bonding at M/organic interfaces and the concomitant adhesion between the different materials. In broad terms, the M/OFGs form interacting interfaces (e.g., Cr/COOH or Cu/COOH) in which the deposit resides on top of the OFGs or weakly interacting interfaces through which the overlayer penetrates and resides at the SAM/gold interface. We present a review of XPS results from weakly interacting systems (e.g., Cu/OH, Cu/CN, Ag/CH₃, Ag/COOH) and discuss in more depth the time-temperature dependence of the disappearance of the metal from the M/SAM interface following deposition. In this work, XPS and ISS were used to characterize octadecanethiol (ODT, HS(CH₂)₁₇CH₃), mercaptoundecanoic acid (MUA, HS(CH₂)₁₀COOH), and mercaptohexadecanoic acid (MHA, HS(CH₂)₁₅COOH) SAMs before and after depositing up to 1.0 nm Ag or Cu at ca. 10⁻⁷ torr. The SAMs were prepared by self-assembly onto gold films on <100> silicon substrates in an ethanolic thiol solution. XPS spectra indicate that no strong interaction occurs between the deposited Ag and the COOH organic functional group (OFG) of MUA or MHA, although a stronger interaction is evident for MHA, and a unidentate is formed for Cu on mercaptoundecanol (MUO). The Ag interaction with ODT is weak. ISS compositional depth profiles (CDPs) for Ag on MHA and MUA and ODT are compared over a temperature range of 113 to 293 K. The ISS results indicate that Ag remains on the surface of MUA for up to 1 h after deposition, whereas Ag penetrates ODT in less than 5 min at 295 K. The time for Ag to penetrate into MHA is several times longer than for MUA, depending on the SAM temperature. The time dependence of the slower Ag penetration through MUA and MHA is compared with that for ODT at temperatures below 295 K. Although Ag/OFGs are expected to have relatively weak interactions, the Ag/COOH system was anticipated to be more interactive than was found, so rapid penetration of Ag through the COOH SAM is an unexpected result.     

Modification of indium tin oxide films by alkanethiol and fatty acid self-assembled monolayers: a comparative study

Indium tin oxide (ITO) substrates have been modified by alkanethiol and fatty acid self-assembled monolayers (SAMs). The SAMs were grown by dipping the cleaned surface into either a pure alkanethiol or a fatty acid dissolved in various solvents. They were characterized through contact angle, X-ray photoelectron (XPS) and infrared absorption-reflection spectroscopy (IRRAS). Their density and structural organization was found to greatly depend on the cleaning treatment of the ITO surface, the length of the alkyl chain, and, in the case of fatty acids, the concentration of the solution. XPS measurements brought evidence for the fact that, in the case of alkanethiols, the grafting mechanism was through the formation of ionic or covalent bonds involving thiolates. The most prominent result of this comparative study is that thiol-based SAMs are more strongly attached to the ITO substrate and better organized than fatty acids, which we attribute to the fact that the reaction of the ITO surface with fatty acids is more reversible than that with thiols.     

Selective deposition in multilayer assembly: SAMs as molecular templates

Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on surfaces may be used as molecular templates for the selective deposition of polymer multilayer films. SAMs of ω-functionalized alkane thiolates are patterned onto gold surfaces with micron scale features using the microcontact printing method; glass substrates can also be patterned with trichloroalkylsilane SAMs. Patterned polymeric monolayer and multilayer films are adsorbed atop the SAM from dilute polymer solutions using ionic macromolecular self-assembly techniques which have been developed recently. The effects of polymer molecular weight and ionic content, as well as the use of a second SAM in the unpatterned regions to promote selectivity are discussed. Surface roughness, selectivity and other film properties are presented. It is demonstrated that this technique can be used successfully in the patterning of micron scale features with multilayers of low molecular weight upon adsorption from dilute solution.     

Directed growth of poly(isobenzofuran) films by chemical vapor deposition on patterned self-assembled monolayers as templates

This paper describes a method to direct the formation of microstructures of poly(isobenzofuran) (PIBF) by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) on chemically patterned, reactive, self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) prepared on gold substrates. We examined the growth dependence of PIBF by deposition onto several different SAMs each presenting different surface functional groups, including a carboxylic acid, a phenol, an alcohol, an amine, and a methyl group. Interferometry, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), gel permeation chromatography (GPC), and optical microscopy were used to characterize the PIBF films grown on the various SAMs. Based on the kinetic and the spectroscopic analyses, we suggest that the growth of PIBF is surface-dependent and may follow a cationic polymerization mechanism. Using the cationic polymerization mechanism of PIBF growth, we also prepared patterned SAMs of 11-mercapto-1-undecanol (MUO) or 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid (MUA) by microcontact printing (microCP) on gold substrates as templates, to direct the growth of the PIBF. The directed growth and the formation of microstructures of PIBF with lateral dimensions of 6 microm were investigated using atomic force microscopy (AFM). The average thickness of the microstructures of PIBF films grown on the MUO and the MUA patterns were 400 +/- 40 nm and 490 +/- 40 nm, respectively. SAMs patterned with carboxylic acid salts (Cu2+, Fe2+, or Ag+) derived from MUA led to increases in the average thickness of the microstructures of PIBF by 10%, 12%, or 27%, respectively, relative to that of control templates. The growth dependence of PIBF on the various carboxylic acid salts was also investigated using experimental observations of the growth kinetics and XPS analyses of the relative amount of metal ions present on the template surfaces.     

Tris(phosphino)borato silver(I) complexes as precursors for metallic silver aerosol-assisted chemical vapor deposition

A series of light- and air-stable tris(phosphino)borato silver(I) complexes has been synthesized, structurally and spectroscopically characterized, and implemented in the growth of low resistivity metallic silver thin films by aerosol-assisted chemical vapor deposition (AACVD). Of the four complexes in the series, [RB(CH2PR'2) 3]AgPEt3 (R = Ph (1, 3), (n)Bu (2, 4); R' = Ph (1, 2), (i)Pr (3, 4), complexes 1 and 2 have been characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Complex 2 represents a significant improvement over previously available nonfluorinated Ag precursors, owing to ease of handling and efficient film deposition characteristics. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) shows that the thermolytic properties of these complexes can be significantly modified by altering the ligand structure. Polycrystalline cubic-phase Ag thin films were grown on glass, MgO(100), and 52100 steel substrates. Ag films of thicknesses 3 microm, grown at rates of 14-18 nm/min, exhibit low levels of extraneous element contamination by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) indicate that film growth proceeds primarily via an island growth (Volmer-Weber) mechanism.
