- Abstract
- In the microelectronics industry, gold electrodes on silicon dioxide are produced using an adhesive layer of chromium or titanium. This method is applicable whenever a dry environment is present. However, when such an electrode is exposed to an electrolyte a galvanic cell is formed and the less noble metal will dissolve and eventually destroy the electrode. We describe here how a monolayer of mercaptopropyl-trimethoxysilane (MPTS) can be used as an adhesive. The layer can be structured lithographically making gold electrodes in the micro- and nano-range applicable for use in electrochemistry. The properties of the MPTS layer were investigated with photoelectron microscopy, atomic force microscopy and the electrochemical performance of the... (More)
