Sol gel dielectrics for organic field effect transistors : investigations of device performance enhancement, molecular organization and interfacial chemistry effects by Cahyadi, Tommy

“…The smoother film surfaces of sol-gel silica (~1.9 Å root-mean-square) and low surface energy (water contact angle of ~75°) have been shown to allow effective modification of bottom layer topography without being limited by the chemistry required for self-assembled monolayer (SAM) functionalization, while simultaneously fine-tuning the dielectric surface, thus resulting in planarization of dielectric surface roughness in stacked gate dielectric applications.…”

Patterning of gold nanoparticle rings by manipulation of wetting coverage by Wang, Puqun.

“…As the proposed approach takes advantage of chemical wetting difference to specifically modify the substrate surface, it is reasonable to conclude that the shape, size and wall thickness of the Au NP ring arrays are tunable by varying the templating objects and the chemicals used for surface modification, implying potential application in sensing and spectroscopy by engineering ring arrays on demand.…”
