摘要: Abstract Si wafers covered with a native oxide were used as substrates for growth of 12.5 nm evaporated Au (Au/SiO x ), and self-assembly dendrimer monolayer followed by the same thickness (Au/dendrimer/SiO ). This paper presents evidence very significant improvements in film quality when grown on self-assembled amine-terminated poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers (generation G8) SiO . An increase surface hardness from 1.7 to 3 GPa, decrease roughness about 1.2 0.4 nm better adhesion are shown combination XPS, X-ray reflectivity (XRR), AFM, nanoindentation. The improvement may be explained penetration deposited into adlayer. interpenetration is confirmed AFM profilometry XPS analysis.
