Effect of Chain Length on Low Temperature Gold-Gold Bonding by Self Assembled Monolayers. Applied Physics Letters, 92(13). | Series/Report no.: | Applied physics letters | Abstract: | The tensile strength of thermocompression gold joints formed with prior surface coatings of alkanethiol self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) depends on the chain length (n) of the SAM. Enhancement of bond strength is most significant at n=6 while no improvement can be achieved using octadecanethiol (n=18). These contrasting behaviors can be interpreted as a consequence of two dominant roles of alkanethiols that govern the bonding phenomenon, namely, the passivation of gold surfaces and the ease of mechanical and/or thermal displacement. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10356/85265 http://hdl.handle.net/10220/7703 |
