Over the last decade, Moore’s law has begun to slow as fundamental length scale limits are being reached in the utilization of Si for transistors (∼14 nm)[1]. One potential method for delaying the end of Moore’s law is to pattern Si surfaces with organic molecules, providing an accessible length scale in the order of a few ångstroms. However, in order to understand how these molecules interact and alter the Si substrate, high quality and high precision measurements are required. Here we will present one such study of Si(100) patterned with acetophenone by energy scanned photoelectron diffraction (PhD). Acetophenone is believed to anchor to the Si substrate via a strong covalent bond[2]. Utilizing PhD, we provide an insight into this anchoring, specifically measuring the Si-O bond length of the adsorbed molecule to a precision of a few hundredths of an ångstrom.
