摘要
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) as a high sensitivity analytical method for molecule detection has attracted much attention in recent research. In this work, we demonstrated an improved SERS substrate, which has the gold nanoparticles randomly distributed on a SiO2 interception layer over a gold thin film layer on the flat sapphire substrate (AuNP/SiO2/Au/Sapphire), over the dispersed gold nanoparticles on a silicon substrate (AuNP/Si), for detection of R6G (1 × 10−6 M) in a Raman microscope. The fabrication of sandwich layers on top of the sapphire substrate involves evaporation of a gold mirror as thick as 100 nm, plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition of the silica insulator layer 10 nm thick, and evaporation of a thin gold layer 10 nm thick for forming gold nanoparticles. For comparison, a gold thin film with a thickness of 5 nm and 10 nm was evaporated on a silicon substrate, respectively (AuNP/Si), as the reference SERS substrates in the experiment. The AuNP/SiO2/Au/Sapphire substrate demonstrated improved sensitivity in detection of molecules in Raman microscopy, which can enable the molecules to be recognizable at a low laser power as 8.5 × 10−3 mW, 0.017 mW, 0.085 mW, and 0.17 mW for ultrashort exposure time. The simulation of AuNP/SiO2/Au/Sapphire substrate and AuNP/Si substrate, based on the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method, explained the improved sensitivity for detection of R6G molecules from the view of classical electromagnetics, and it suggested the optimized size for the gold nanoparticles and the optimized laser wavelength for Raman microscopy for further research.
