Abstract

Abstract Interface engineering is pivotal for enhancing the performance and stability of devices with layered structures, including solar cells, electronic devices, and electrochemical systems. Incorporating the interfacial dipole between the bulk layers effectively modulates the energy level difference at the interface and does not significantly influence adjacent layers overall. However, interfaces can drastically affect adjoining layers in ultrathin devices, which are essential for next‐generation electronics with high integrity, excellent performance, and low power consumption. In particular, the interfacial effect is pronounced in ultrathin semiconductors, which have a weak electric field screening effect. Herein, the substantial interfacial impact on the ultrathin silicon is shown, the p‐ to n‐type inversion of the semiconductor solely through the deposition of a self‐assembled monolayer (SAM) without external bias. The effects of SAMs with different interfacial dipoles are investigated by using Hall measurement and surface analytic techniques, such as UPS, XPS, and KPFM. Furthermore, the lateral electronic junction of the ultrathin silicon is engineered by the regioselective deposition of SAMs with opposite dipoles, and the device exhibits rectification behavior. When the interfacial dipole of SAM is manipulated, the rectification ratio changes sensitively, and thus the fabricated diode shows potential to be developed as a sensing platform.
