Azidation of silicon(111) surfaces

Abstract

A two-step chlorination/azidation process was reported to prepare azide-modified silicon(111) surfaces. XPS and IR analyses show the covalent bonding of azide with silicon. In combination with scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy analyses, different kinetic rates, azide coverages, and surface-area distributions were derived depending on the azidation solvent.
