A synthesis method of a compound used to form a self-assembled monolayer used in a semiconductor component is provided. A method includes a first step of replacing a terminal halogen of an ω-haloalk-1-ene with a compound having at least one aromatic group, and a second step of hydrosilylating the reaction product of the first step. Reaction products of the first step include octadec-17-enyloxybenzene, 4-octadec-17″-enyloxy-1,1′-biphenyl, 2-heptadec-16′-enylthiophene, and 2-octadec-17′-enylthiophene. Monolayers provided include 18-phenoxyoctadecyl)trichlorosilane, [18-(1′,1″-biphenyl-4′-yloxy)octadecyl]trichlorosilane, (17-thien-2′-ylheptadecyl)trichlorosilane, (18-thien-2′-yloctadecyl)trichlorosilane, and 4-(18′-trichlorosilyloctadecyloxy)benzonitrile. An organic field effect transistor having monolayers according to embodiments of the invention is provided. |
