A silicon substrate for use in biosensing applications is provided, having a protective layer made of a hydrophobic dendrimer monolayer linked to a hydrophilic layer presenting biomolecule probes. The hydrophobic monolayer inhibits oxidation of the substrate surface while the biomolecule probes optimize recognition and capture of biomolecules. A process for establishing the functionalized silicon substrate and a method of making the protective layer is also provided.
