| Abstract |
Monolayer Doping (MLD) involves the functionalization of semiconductor surfaces followed by an annealing step to diffuse the dopant into the substrate. We report an alternative doping method, oxide-MLD, where ultra-thin SiO2 overlayers are functionalized with phosphonic acids for doping Si. Similar peak carrier concentrations were achieved when compared to hydrosilylated surfaces (~2 × 1020 atoms/cm3). Oxide-MLD offers several advantages over conventional MLD such as ease of sample processing, superior ambient stability and minimal carbon contamination. The incorporation of an oxide layer minimizes carbon contamination by facilitating attachment of carbon-free precursors or by impeding carbon diffusion. The oxide-MLD strategy allows selection of many inexpensive precursors and therefore allows application to both p- and n-doping. The phosphonic acid functionalized SiO2 surfaces were investigated using XPS and ATR-FTIR spectroscopy while doping was assessed using electrochemical capacitance voltage and Hall measurements. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 04 January 2018.
All research outputs
#21,590,852
of 24,090,847 outputs
Outputs from ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces
#15,352
of 18,794 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#386,228
of 450,057 outputs
Outputs of similar age from ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces
#331
of 404 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,090,847 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 18,794 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.8. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 450,057 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 404 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
