A promising possibility to compete with the challenges of miniaturization in semiconductor device physics is the functionalization of inorganic semiconductor surfaces with organic molecules. In this context, we have investigated the reaction of the frequently-used organic solvent tetrahydrofuran (THF) on Si(001) by means of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Despite its low reactivity in solvent based organic chemistry, THF was found to exhibit a complex surface chemistry on the Si(001) surface.
At low temperatures, the STM images indicate an adsorption geometry with the THF molecule located at the lower Si dimer atom. In combination with an observed energetic shift to higher binding energies in the O(1s) XP spectra, a dative bonding between a free electron pair of the oxygen atom and the empty dangling bond surface state is suggested. At temperatures Ts>270 K, an irreversible rearrangement of the THF molecules is observed. The resulting configurations bridge two dimer rows. For temperatures Ts>700 K, the STM and XPS data point to the formation of silicon carbide and silicon oxide structures.
