Self-assembled interface monolayers for organic and hybrid electronics

Abstract

The state of the art in the field of self-assembled organic interface monolayers widely used in organic and hybrid electronics is analyzed and the results obtained are summarized. Recent advances in full and local substrate modification using interface layers are considered in detail. Examples of the most successful applications of interface monolayers as monolayer dielectrics, modifiers of the work function and adhesion promoters are given. The advantages of utilizing interface monolayers at semiconductor/dielectric interfaces and for modifying the semiconductor surface are demonstrated. Specific features of formation of nanostructured surfaces including those used in biosensoric applications are outlined. The bibliography includes 139 references.
