Abstract
The organic modification of porous silicon (PSi) has been studied by near edge X-ray absorption fine structures (NEXAFS) spectroscopy. We report the NEXAFS studies of a series of the PSi films modified by organic monolayers, covalently attached to the surface via SiC and SiOC bonds. The C, O, and Si K-edge, and Si L 3,2-edge NEXAFS of these PSi films, measured in both the surface sensitive total electron yield (TEY) and the interface and bulk sensitive fluorescence yield (FLY) show that the surface SiC and SiOC bonds are indeed present and that the remaining of the capping molecule remains intact. The results are reported and their implications discussed.
