Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Microwave radiation was utilized as a tool to modify surface properties of silicon oxides. Covalent surface modification of silicon oxides has been widely pursued in the areas of material science, electronics, microfluidics, biology, and separation science. Chemical surface modifications are often achieved through the formation of organic monolayers, often referred to as self-assembled monolayers (SAMs). While these organic monolayers have been proposed as an effective surface modification strategy, the defects in these organic monolayers compromise the effectiveness on their ability to alter surface properties. For example, in the case of passivation of microscale electronic devices, the surfaces that are not covered by the organic monolayers are susceptible to environmental stress or corrosion, which can cause detrimental failures of the devices. Traditional methods of formation of monolayers often cause many defects including formation of multilayers or micelles, physically adsorbed organic film, and/or voids. In this thesis, microwave radiation is utilized as a tool to accelerate the formation of uniform monolayers. In particular, the formation of silane based monolayers and alcohol based monolayers on silicon oxide surfaces have been extensively studied. Microwave heating, unlike the traditional heating methods, delivers the thermal energy to the substrate surfaces. It can effectively accelerate the formation of both silane and alcohol based monolayers. Alcohol based reagents, in particular, is proposed as an alternative building blocks for their widespread availability and minimal reactivity with moisture. Tuning of surface chemistry of silicon oxides have been achieved with alcohol based regents with different functional groups. Furthermore, the formation of mixed monolayers has been proposed as means of controlling oleophobicity of the silicon oxide surfaces. Finally, the film thickness of the alcohol based monolayers has been characterized with angle-resolved X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (ARXPS). The film thickness can be precisely tuned by choosing the alcohol based reactants with particular lengths of alkyl chains. A variety of surface chemistry can be designed towards many practical applications requiring surface functionalized silicon oxides using the research presented herein.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Semiconductor substrates are widely used in many applications. Multiple practical uses involving these materials require the ability to tune their physical and chemical properties to adjust those to a specific application. In recent years, surface and interface reactions have affected dramatically device fabrication and material design. Novel surface functionalization techniques with diverse chemical approaches make the desired physical, thermal, electrical, and mechanical properties attainable. ☐ Meanwhile, the modified surface can serve as one of the most important key steps for further assembly process in order to make novel devices and materials. ☐ In the following chapters, novel chemical approaches to the functionalization of silicon and zinc oxide substrates will be reviewed and discussed. The specific functionalities including amines, azides, and alkynes on surfaces of different materials will be applied to address subsequent attachment of large molecules and assembly processes. This research is aimed to develop new strategies for manipulating the surface properties of semiconductor materials in a controlled way. The findings of these investigations will be relevant for future applications in molecular and nanoelectronics, sensing, and solar energy conversion. ☐ The ultimate goals of the projects are: 1) Preparation of an oxygen-and carbon-free silicon surface based exclusively on Si-N linkages for further modification protocols. This project involves designing the surface reaction of hydrazine on chlorine-terminated silicon surface, introduction of additional functional group through dehydrohalogenation condensation reaction and direct covalent attachment of C60. 2) Demonstrating alternative method to anchor carbon nanotubes to solid substrates directly through the carbon cage. This project targets surface modification of silicon and gold substrates with amine-terminated organic monolayers and the covalent attachment of nonfunctionalized and carboxylic acid-functionalized carbon nanotubes. 3) Designing a universal method for the modular functionalization of zinc oxide surface for the chemical protection of material morphology. ☐ This project involves surface modification of zinc oxide nanopowder under vacuum condition with propiolic acid, followed by “click” reaction. ☐ A combination of spectroscopy and microscopy techniques was utilized to study the surface functionalization and assembly processes. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and time of fight secondary ion mass spectroscopy (ToF-SIMS) were employed to elucidate the chemical structure of the modified surface. Atomic force microscopy (AFM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were combined to obtain the surface morphological information. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were applied to confirm the experimental results and to suggest plausible reaction mechanisms. Other complementary techniques for these projects also include nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to identify the chemical species on the surface and charge-carrier lifetime measurements to evaluate the electronic property of C60-modified silicon surface.
