N2 - Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of octadecyltrichlorosilane (OTS) and mercapto ethanol were used to modify the surface functionality of platinum/titanium or platinum/tantalum bilayer patterns on thermally oxidized silicon wafers. The attachment of OTS to the exposed oxide region made it hydrophobic, while the anchoring of mercapto ethanol to the bilayer pattern turned it hydrophilic. This patterned hydrophobicity and hydrophilicity was exploited to preferentially deposit barium strontium titanate (BST) thin films on the patterned bilayers from an aqueous sol-gel solution. The combination of the SAMs and the sol-gel film formation method allowed direct patterned deposition of BST thin films, which could be useful for on-chip electronic applications. Wet oxygen annealing at 50°C was sufficient to stabilize the deposited sol-gel coating without adversely affecting the functionality of the OTS, thus permitting multiple dip-coatings to obtain patterned films of a desired thickness. Heat treatment at 750°C allowed densification and conversion of the sol-gel coatings to perovskite BST films.
