Planar semiconductor sensing devices based on silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrates have immense potential for applications such as label-free, fast, and time resolved detection of biomolecule binding events due to their great sensitivity to surface potential changes via the field effect [1].
Phosphonate films are easy to apply and provide for stable silicon surface derivatization because they give dense, self-assembled monolayers that bond strongly to the native silicon oxide and that can be modified with tailored, substituted end groups [2].
We investigated the stability and current blocking properties of different alkylphosphonate layers over time by cyclic voltammetry and impedance spectroscopy. A maximum current blocking of 97 per cent at the reductive peak voltage of a reference sample was observed for samples coated with layers of hydroxyundecylphosphonic acids.
Concepts for biofunctionalisation of SOI sensors via Phosphonate acid monolayers will be discussed.
