Implementing Thermometry on Silicon Surfaces Functionalized by Lanthanide-Doped Self-Assembled Polymer Monolayers

Noncontact thermometric techniques with high-spatial resolution are essential for noninvasive off-chip characterization and heat management on Si surfaces. Here, the first ratiometric luminescent molecular thermometer implemented in a self-assembled polymer monolayer functionalized Si surface is reported.
