Reaction of Dichlorophenylborane with H-Si(100).

ABSTRACT: Traditional approaches to achieving dopant functionalized Si involve grafting the dopant to the Si substrates through O-Si or C-Si bonds, resulting in indirect attachment of the dopant to the Si. Recently, ultrahigh vacuum work has demonstrated that high densities of direct B-Si bonds enable unprecedented electronic behaviors in Si that make it possible for Si to be used as a next-generation electronic material. As solvothermal approaches are inherently amenable to scale-up, there is currently a push to develop solvothermal approaches for the formation of direct dopant-Si bonds. Thus far, B-Si chemistries for next-generation electronic materials have been demonstrated with boron trichloride and bis(pinacolatodiboron). In this work, we use a combination of experimental work and computational studies to examine the reactivity of a phenyl derivatized boron trichloride, namely dichlorophenylborane, with H-Si(100). We determine that despite the stability and ease for the formation of C-Si bonds, the organic component, the phenyl group remains attached to the B and does not yield competitive formation of products via a Si-C bond. This reaction proved a new solvothermal method for the formation of direct B-Si bonds that, with further work, can be leveraged in developing next-generation electronic materials.

Graphene growth on Ge(100)/Si(100) substrates by CVD method.

Project description:The successful integration of graphene into microelectronic devices is strongly dependent on the availability of direct deposition processes, which can provide uniform, large area and high quality graphene on nonmetallic substrates. As of today the dominant technology is based on Si and obtaining graphene with Si is treated as the most advantageous solution. However, the formation of carbide during the growth process makes manufacturing graphene on Si wafers extremely challenging. To overcome these difficulties and reach the set goals, we proposed growth of high quality graphene layers by the CVD method on Ge(100)/Si(100) wafers. In addition, a stochastic model was applied in order to describe the graphene growth process on the Ge(100)/Si(100) substrate and to determine the direction of further processes. As a result, high quality graphene was grown, which was proved by Raman spectroscopy results, showing uniform monolayer films with FWHM of the 2D band of 32 cm(-1).

Nondestructive nanofabrication on Si(100) surface by tribochemistry-induced selective etching.

Project description:A tribochemistry-induced selective etching approach is proposed for the first time to produce silicon nanostructures without lattice damage. With a ~1 nm thick SiOx film as etching mask grown on Si(100) surface (Si(100)/SiOx) by wet-oxidation technique, nano-trenches can be produced through the removal of local SiOx mask by a SiO2 tip in humid air and the post-etching of the exposed Si in potassium hydroxide (KOH) solution. The material removal of SiOx mask and Si under low load is dominated by the tribochemical reaction at the interface between SiO2 tip and Si/SiOx sample, where the contact pressure is much lower than the critical pressure for initial yield of Si. High resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM) observation indicates that neither the material removal induced by tribochemical reaction nor the wet etching in KOH solution leads to lattice damage of the fabricated nanostructures. The proposed approach points out a new route in nondestructive nanofabrication.

Growth and Crystallization of SiO2/GeO2 Thin Films on Si(100) Substrates.

Project description:The growth of α-quartz-based piezoelectric thin films opens the door to higher-frequency electromechanical devices than those available through top-down approaches. We report on the growth of SiO2/GeO2 thin films by pulsed laser deposition and their subsequent crystallization. By introducing a devitrifying agent uniformly within the film, we are able to obtain the α-quartz phase in the form of platelets with lateral sizes above 100 μm at accessible temperatures. Films containing different amounts of devitrifying agent are investigated, and their crystallinity is ascertained with X-ray diffraction and electron back-scatter diffraction. Our work highlights the difficulty in crystallization when competing phases arise that have markedly different crystalline orientation.

Electrodeposition of Nanoparticles and Continuous Film of CdSe on n-Si (100).

Project description:CdSe electrodeposition on n-Si (100) substrate was investigated in sulfuric acid solution. The behaviour and the deposition of the precursors (Cd and Se) were studied separately at first. Then, we explored both the alternated deposition, one layer by one, as well as the simultaneous co-deposition of the two elements to form the CdSe semiconductor. Varying the deposition conditions, we were able to obtain nanoparticles, or a thin film, on the surface of the electrode. The samples were then characterised microscopically and spectroscopically with SEM, XRD and XPS. Finally, we evaluated the induced photoemission of the deposit for the application in optoelectronics.

Quantum interference based Boolean gates in dangling bond loops on Si(100):H surfaces.

Project description:Implementing atomic and molecular scale electronic functionalities represents one of the major challenges in current nano-electronic developments. Engineered dangling bond nanostructures on Silicon or Germanium surfaces posses the potential to provide novel routes towards the development of non-conventional electronic circuits. These structures are built by selectively removing hydrogen atoms from an otherwise fully passivated Si(100) or Ge(100) substrate. In this theoretical study, we demonstrate how dangling bond loops can be used to implement different Boolean logic gates. Our approach exploits quantum interference effects in such ring-like structures combined with an appropriate design of the interfacing of the dangling bond system with mesoscopic electrodes. We show how OR, AND, and NOR gates can be realized by tuning either the global symmetry of the system in a multi-terminal setup—by arranging the position of the input and output electrodes—or, alternatively, by selectively applying electrostatic gates in a two-terminal configuration.

Ring-Opening Reaction of Tetrahydrofuran on Ge(100) Surface.

Project description:The adsorption structures and reaction mechanism of tetrahydrofuran on a Ge(100) surface were investigated through high-resolution photoemission spectroscopy (HRPES) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. On the basis of our analysis of the HRPES spectra, two adsorption species consisting of a major Ge-(CH2)4-O-Ge structure formed via a ring-opening reaction and a minor molecularly adsorbed structure formed via O dative bonding were identified. Our DFT results provided not only the optimized adsorption structures and their corresponding adsorption energies but also the level of the transition state for the pathway from the molecularly adsorbed species to the major adsorption structure. The results confirmed that the adsorption of tetrahydrofuran on the Ge(100) surface is under both kinetic and thermodynamic controls. Our discovery of the ring-opening reaction is an unprecedented result in the field of Ge(100) surface chemistry.

Hydrogen generation by reaction of Si nanopowder with neutral water.

Project description:Si and its oxide are nonpoisonous materials, and thus, it can be taken for medical effects. We have developed a method of generation of hydrogen by use of reactions of Si nanopowder with water in the neutral pH region. Si nanopowder is fabricated by the simple bead milling method. Si nanopowder reacts with water to generate hydrogen even in cases where pH is set at the neutral region between 7.0 and 8.6. The hydrogen generation rate strongly depends on pH and in the case of pH 8.0, ?55 ml/g hydrogen which corresponds to that contained in approximately 3 L saturated hydrogen-rich water is generated in 1 h. The reaction rate for hydrogen generation greatly increases with pH, indicating that the reacting species is hydroxide ions. The change of pH after the hydrogen generation reaction is negligibly low compared with that estimated assuming that hydroxide ions are consumed by the reaction. From these results, we conclude the following reaction mechanism: Si nanopowder reacts with hydroxide ions in the rate-determining reaction to form hydrogen molecules, SiO2, and electrons in the conduction band. Then, generated electrons are accepted by water molecules, resulting in production of hydrogen molecules and hydroxide ions. The hydrogen generation rate strongly depends on the crystallite size of Si nanopowder, but not on the size of aggregates of Si nanopowder. The present study shows a possibility to use Si nanopowder for hydrogen generation in the body in order to eliminate hydroxyl radicals which cause various diseases.

Atomic defect classification of the H-Si(100) surface through multi-mode scanning probe microscopy.

Project description:The combination of scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) and non-contact atomic force microscopy (nc-AFM) allows enhanced extraction and correlation of properties not readily available via a single imaging mode. We demonstrate this through the characterization and classification of several commonly found defects of the hydrogen-terminated silicon (100)-2 × 1 surface (H-Si(100)-2 × 1) by using six unique imaging modes. The H-Si surface was chosen as it provides a promising platform for the development of atom scale devices, with recent work showing their creation through precise desorption or placement of surface hydrogen atoms. While samples with relatively large areas of the H-Si surface are routinely created using an in situ methodology, surface defects are inevitably formed reducing the area available for patterning. By probing the surface using the different interactivity afforded by either hydrogen- or silicon-terminated tips, we are able to extract new insights regarding the atomic and electronic structure of these defects. This allows for the confirmation of literature assignments of several commonly found defects, as well as proposed classifications of previously unreported and unassigned defects. By combining insights from multiple imaging modes, better understanding of their successes and shortcomings in identifying defect structures and origins is achieved. With this, we take the first steps toward enabling the creation of superior H-Si surfaces through an improved understanding of surface defects, ultimately leading to more consistent and reliable fabrication of atom scale devices.

Dehydrohalogenation Condensation Reaction of Phenylhydrazine with Cl-Terminated Si(111) Surfaces.

Project description:Formation of stable organic-inorganic contacts with silicon often requires oxygen- and carbon-free interfaces. Some of the general approaches to create such interfaces rely on the formation of a Si-N bond. A reaction of dehydrohalogenation condensation of Cl-terminated Si(111) surface with phenylhydrazine is investigated as a means to introduce a simple function to the surface using a -NH-NH2 moiety as opposed to previously investigated approaches. The use of substituted hydrazine allows for the formation of a stable structure that is less strained compared to the previously investigated primary amines and leads to minimal surface oxidation. The process is confirmed by a combination of infrared studies, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry investigations. Density functional theory is utilized to yield a plausible surface reaction mechanism and provide a set of experimental observables to compare with these data.
