This book presents both fundamental knowledge and latestachievements of this rapidly growing field in the last decade.It presents a complete and concise picture of the thestate-of-the-art in the field, encompassing the most activeinternational research groups in the world. Led bycontributions from leading global research groups, the bookdiscusses the functionalization of semiconductor surface. Dryorganic reactions in vacuum and wet organic chemistry in solutionare two major categories of strategies for functionalization thatwill be described. The growthof multilayer-molecular architectures on the formedorganic monolayers will be documented. The immobilization ofbiomolecules such as DNA on organic layers chemically attached tosemiconductor surfaces will be introduced. The patterning ofcomplex structures of organic layers and metallic nanoclusterstoward sensing techniques will be presented as well.
