초록
미세전자기계 시스템에 사용되는 실리콘 기판의 표면 특성 조절을 위하여 옥타데실트리클로로실란(OTS)을 실리콘에 자기조립 단분자층(SAMs)으로 형성시켜, 코팅 조건 및 코팅 용액 조성에 따른 표면 특성 변화를 살펴보았다. OTS와의 솔-젤 반응을 위하여 실리콘 표면을 sulfuric peroxide mixture (SPM) 용액으로 처리한 결과, 실리콘 표면에 -OH기가 형성되어 친수성이 증가됨을 알 수 있었으며 상온에서 황산의 비가 85%인 SPM 용액에서 솔-젤 반응을 위한 최적의 산화막이 형성됨을 알 수 있었다. SPM 처리에 의하여 발현된 실리콘 표면의 -OH기는 솔-젤 반응에 의하여 OTS의 -Cl기와 반응하여 Si-O 화학결합을 형성하며 이에 따라 표면은 소수성으로 변화됨을 확인할 수 있었다. 이 때 코팅 온도 및 시간 그리고 용액의 조성은 솔-젤 반응에 영향을 미쳐 SAMs 표면의 소수성을 조절하는 인자로 작용하였다.
The self-assembled monolayer coating of octadecyltrichlorosilane (OTS) on the silicon based MEMS was investigated and surface characteristics were considered as a function of coating conditions and reagent composition. The sulfuric peroxide mixture (SPM) solution was used to form -OH group which caused the hydrophilic characteristic on silicon surface. Highest hydrophilicity was obtained by SPM solution with 85% acid content at room temperature. OTS was applied on the silicon surface by means of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) coating. It was found that sol-gel reaction was took place between -OH group on the silicon surface and -Cl group in OTS. As a result, the contact angle increased due to the increase of hydrophobicity by Si-O bonding of SAMs. Sol-gel reaction could be controlled by coating conditions as well as reagent composition in OTS coating solution.
