Anyone can suggest a chemical coating for silicon substrate to make a water contact angle between 30-40?

I prefer a silane with low boiling point as I am going to deposit it in the vapor phase (chemical vapor deposition). I have tried TMS (Chlorotrimethylsilane) using CVD on Si wafer and I got water...
