Another approach is to use nonaqueous solutions which
do not react with silicon in a wide potential range.

The silicon surface can be stabilized using surface modification techniques
which are divided into three categories

: (1) attachment of redox mediator which con-
sumes the holes on the surface; (2) attachment of electronically conducting polymer;
and (3) coating with thin metal or semiconducting films to create a buried semicon-
ductor interface. Combinations of these approaches can also be used to stabilize the
silicon surface.
