Surface-enhanced raman scattering substrate and manufacturing method thereof

Abstract

In a Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) substrate and the manufacturing method thereof, the SERS substrate includes a low thermal conductivity base and a plurality of metal nanoparticles (NPs). The surface of the low thermal conductivity substrate has a first surface, and the first surface has a plurality of ripple micro/nano structures. The plurality of metal NPs are non-continuously densely arranged on the ripple micro/nano structures of the first surface. The metal NPs have a height difference along the ripple micro/nano structures, and form a 3D electric field enhanced region. The manufacturing methods includes sputtering a metal nano-thin film on a surface of a low thermal conductivity base, and the surface of the low thermal conductivity base has a plurality of ripple micro/nano structures; using laser to ablate the metal nano-thin film; and forming a plurality of metal NPs, which are non-continuously densely arranged.
