Abstract

Certain molecules when placed in contact with a surface can bind to form well-ordered two dimensional arrays. This process is called molecular selfassembly (MSA), and it is emerging as an important method to control the interactions between a surface and its environment (interfacial properties). Molecular self-assembly uses the fundamental forces between molecules (Van der Waals interactions, hydrophobic effects and hydrogen bonding) to form highly ordered macromolecular systems. This process has been used to synthesize molecular films on a variety of surfaces including glass, gold, alumina, platinum, and silicon. The objective of this paper is to describe the application of molecular self-assembled films to the study of biological systems. Specifically, we will describe methods to synthesize and characterize surfaces that contain molecules that bind to bacteria and viruses. We will also evaluate the use of surface science techniques to characterize the physical and chemical properties of these surfaces, and we will attempt to correlate these properties with the adhesion of biological molecules.

57. We have used 2″ and 4″ diameter Si(100) wafers (p-type, boron doping to 15–30 W-cm from Uni-Syl) and 4″ Si(lll) (p-type boron doping to 12–20 W-cm from Monsanto) with identical results. The wafer thicknesses are generally between 20 and 25 mm. In all cases, the silicon wafers were prime/electronic grade quality.Google Scholar
58. All cleaning of the silicon samples was performed in the VLSI clean room of the U. C. Berkeley Microfabrication Laboratory. The silicon wafers were cleaned by immersion into teflon containers of H2SO4 and H2O2 at 12°C for 10 minutes. To avoid wasting the sulfuric acid, 100ml of H2O2 was added to 1Lof H2SO4which will effectively strip 12 wafers of hydrocarbon contamination. WARNING: The H2SO4 and H2O2 solution is an extremely harsh oxidant and should be handled with caution. The wafers were next treated with a hydrofluoric acid solution that is prepared by mixing 49% HF from Aldrich (electronic grade, used as received) with DI H2O in a ratio of 100:1 (H2O:HF). Typically, the wafers are immersed in the HF solution only long enough for them to emerge completely dry (about 10–15 sec). The weakly oxidizing solution of DI H2O and H2O2 (100:1) is used next to grow a uniform oxide. This solution is kept at 60°C and the wafers are immersed until they emerge completely wet with water (about 30 sec).Google Scholar
