Abstract Application of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) is a representative method of surface modification for tuning material properties. In this study we examine the influence of the surface modification by coating the Zn-polar 0001 surface of ZnO single crystal with a SAM of triptycene-based polar molecules in our own technique and investigated temperature dependences of the sheet conductance of the surface with and without the SAM. The sheet conductance at 70 K with the SAM is increased by an order of magnitude, compared to the case without the SAM. We infer that the additional electrons are introduced at the surface by the polar triptycene molecules, whose electropositive hydroxyl groups are supposed to face toward the Zn-polar surface of ZnO. The present result implies that the molecular orientation of the triptycene SAM plays a critical role on the surface properties of oxide semiconductors.

Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) deposition is being recently explored to help sealing the pores of a k=2.0 material. In order to enable a covalent chemical low-k surface functionalization by SAMs, a hydroxyl groups density as high as 1 to 2.5 OH groups/nm2 is required. This surface modification must be carefully controlled to confine the k below 10%. In this paper, the effects of plasma temperature, time and power on the SAMs deposition and plasma-induced damage are investigated. The main findings are that there is always a trade-off between surface hydroxyl groups density and bulk damage. A thick modified layer allows the SAM molecules to penetrate inside the pores which results in a decreased porosity and an increased k value with respect to correspondent plasma-treated pristine substrates.

AbstractWe present the results of an experimental study on the interaction of D atoms with Mg-rich amorphous silicates. The effects of D irradiation have been analyzed by infrared spectroscopy. The results indicate that HD forms by abstraction of hydrogen atoms chemisorbed in the hydroxyl groups of silicate grains. The formation process occurs for grain and atom temperatures relevant to photodissociation regions.
