Stable chemical engineering of stoichiometric GaAs [100] surfaces was achieved by deposition of 4-′-substituted-4-mercaptobiphenyl terminated with −H, −CH3 and −OH. Topography of the engineered surface was studied by atomic force microscopy (AFM). Orientation of the molecules was evaluated by near edge x-ray fine structure (NEXAFS) spectroscopy and Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and the covalent binding between the thiolate and surface arsenide was confirmed by high-resolution x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (HRXPS). Surface free energies of the engineered surfaces were calculated from contact angle measurements. Current-voltage scans showed the drastic suppression of oxidation and reduction by coating of GaAs. Electrochemical properties of the engineered GaAs in aqueous electrolytes were measured by impedance spectroscopy, demonstrating that all three types of mercaptobiphenyls can form stable monolayers with high electric resistances, R>2MΩ cm2. The surface engineering method established here allows for control of surface free energies towards deposition of model biomembranes on GaAs-based device surfaces.
