Development of Focus-Free SERS Substrate Assembly
Abstract
Ion beam irradiation has been used to develop microlens arrays for focus-free SERS substrate assembly development. Pulsed electron-beam deposition by ablating Ag target provides further understanding of the PED technique. Under low pressure and lighter mass of backing gas, a smooth thin film can be formed. The increase of molecular mass of the backing gas will result in nanoparticle formation. PED is a powerful technique for materials fabrication and SERS substrate fabrication. All results do indicate the potential for SERS based spectral sensing development but more work is required to further developments. The original proposal was proposed and funded was a 2-year project, funding was cut for the second year. Thus, we can only demonstrate the feasibility.
