Surface Chemistry of Prototypical Bulk II−VI and III−V Semiconductors and Implications for Chemical Sensing

“…169 Other organic sulfides that have been examined include dithiocarbamate, (3-mercaptopropyl)trimethoxysilane, and plasma-polymerized polythiophene. 61,167,170 The polythiophene treatment has been reported to eliminate the higher energy trap level of the two identified on the untreated GaAs (110) surface. 61 Lunt et al conducted one of the few systematic studies of a broad range of organic thiols.…”

Ethanol Macrocluster Formation on Gold Substrate Modified with Mercapto Alcohol

“…The organic coating of inorganic substrates has attracted much attention due to the increasing needs for modifying the surface properties of materials and due to its potential for designing novel electronic and optoelectronic devices. [1][2][3] The coating methods widely used include Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) film deposition, 4) layer-by-layer assembly, 5) and chemical grafting, 6) although they require much labor for preparing films of several tens of nm. The development of a novel, efficient method is necessary.…”

Sulphide passivation of GaAs: the role of the sulphur chemical activity

“…Attempts to increase the effectiveness of commonly used passivation in aqueous solutions of inorganic sulphides [1][2][3] were undertaken basically by using other sulphur containing compounds, namely thiols [4], solutions of sulphur monochloride in carbon tetrachloride [5], sodium dioctadecyldithiocarbamate [6] and alcoholic solutions of inorganic sulphides [7,8]. The conditions of the passivating process in such media should be different to a great extent first of all due to the variation of the chemical activity of sulphur.…”
