Structural and electronic properties of self-assembled monolayer with 4-(4-amino-phenylazo) benzoic acid (APABA) on the Si(0 0 1)-(4 × 2) surface are investigated by ab initio calculation based on density functional theory. For the APABA chemisorption on the silicon surface, we have assumed two different binding sites: (i) amino group of molecule and (ii) carboxyl group of molecule. Considering amino-site, we have assumed two possible models for the chemisorption of molecules on the Si(0 0 1)-(4 × 2) surface: (i) an intrarow position between two neighboring Si dimers in the same dimer row (Model I), (ii) on-dimer position (Model II). We have found that Model II is 1.10 eV energetically more favorable than Model I. The Si–N bond length was calculated as 1.85 Å which is in excellent agreement with the sum of the corresponding covalent radii of 1.87 Å. Considering carboxyl-site, we have assumed exactly the same model as mentioned above. Again we have found that Model II is energetically favorable than Model I. The calculated bond lengths for Si–O and O–C are 1.76 and 1.35 Å, respectively.
