Abstract
The electrical performance of stabilized lipid monolayers on H-terminated silicon is reported for the first time. We show that these 2.7 nm thick only ultrathin layers present extremely low current leakage at high electric field and high breakdown voltage that both compare favorably with the best data reported on organic thin film dielectrics. We demonstrate a very unique property of autonomic self-healing of the layer at room temperature with the total recovery of its performance after electrical breakdown. The mechanisms involved in breakdown and self-healing are described.
