The conformation of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) buried at metal-semiconductor interfaces plays a crucial role in the functioning of the molecular junctions thus formed. We have studied by vibrational sum frequency generation (SFG) spectroscopy the influence of deposited gold films on the molecular orientation of a series of n-alkyl monolayers that are covalently bonded to silicon(111) via Si-C linkages (≡Si-CnH_[2n+1],n = 10, 12, 14, and 18). The SFG spectra indicate that the gold contacts (overlayers) introduce significant gauche defects within the initially highly oriented alkyl chains. The methyl tilt angles of the buried n-alkyl monolayers depend on the gold deposition method (vacuum evaporation vs sputtering) and the alkyl chain length. These observations are supported by solid-state electrical measurements.
