In this paper, we present inverted pyramids patterned in the surface of IP-Dip polymer that can be used as a SERS substrate. Inverted pyramids are prepared using direct laser writing lithography and they are metal-coated in the next step. Prepared SERS structure consists of field of 40x40 pyramids with base of 3 μm and two depths – 2 and 3 μm. Afterwards, an Au layer with 4 different thicknesses (10 nm, 20 nm, 30 nm and 40 nm) is evaporated. Transmission spectra were simulated and measured for characterization of prepared structures. The micro-Raman measurements using Rhodamine 6G in aqueous solution at concentration of 10-2 M as the probe molecule were performed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
