abstract = {Although organosilanes, especially
3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES), are commonly used to
functionalize oxide substrates for a variety of applications
ranging from molecular/bio sensors and electronics to
protective layers, a reliable and controlled deposition of
these molecules re-mains a major obstacle. In this study, we
use surface potential analyses to record and optimize the
gas-phase deposition of APTES self-assembled monolayers
(SAMs) and to determine the resulting change of the
electrokinetic potential and charge at the solid–liquid
interface when the system is exposed to an electrolyte.
Using a gas-phase molecular layer deposition setup with an
in situ molecule deposition sensor, APTES is deposited at
room temperature onto ozone-activated SiO2. The resulting
layers are characterized using various techniques ranging
from contact angle analysis, ellipsometry, fluorescence
microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and
electroki-netic analysis to AFM. It turns out that adequate
post-deposition treatment is crucial to the for-mation of
perfect molecular SAMs. We demonstrate how a thick layer of
APTES molecules is initially adsorbed at the surface,
however the molecules do not bind to the SiO2 and are
removed if the film is exposed to an electrolyte. Only if
the film is kept in a gaseous environment (prefera-ble at
low pressure) for a long enough time do APTES molecules
start to bind to the surface and form the SAM layer. During
this time superfluous molecules are removed. The resulting
modifi-cation of the electrokinetic potential at the surface
is analyzed in detail for the different states.},
