Development of nanogap-rich hybrid gold nanostructures by use of two non-lithographic deposition techniques for a sensitive and reliable SERS biosensor.
Practical application of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has suffered from several limitations by heterogeneous distribution of hot-spots, such as high signal fluctuation and the resulting low reliability in detection. Herein, we develop a strategy of more sensitive and reliable SERS platform through designing spatially homogeneous gold nanoparticles (GNPs) on a uniform gold nanoisland (GNI) pattern. The proposed SERS substrate is successfully fabricated by combining two non-lithographic techniques of electron beam evaporation and convective self-assembly. These bottom-up methods allow a simple, cost-effective, and large-area fabrication. Compared to the SERS substrates obtained from two separate nanofabrication methods, Raman spectra measured by the samples with both GNPs and GNIs present a significant increase in the signal intensity as well as a notable improvement in signal fluctuation. The simulated near-field analyses demonstrate the formation of highly amplified plasmon modes within and at the gaps of the GNP-GNI interfaces. Moreover, the suggested SERS sensor is evaluated to detect the glucose concentration, exhibiting that the detection sensitivity is improved by more than 10 times compared to the sample with only GNI patterns and a fairly good spatial reproducibility of 7% is accomplished. It is believed that our suggestion could provide a potential for highly sensitive, low-cost, and reliable SERS biosensing platforms that include many advantages for healthcare devices.

期刊介绍:
Biomedical Engineering Letters (BMEL) aims to present the innovative experimental science and technological development in the biomedical field as well as clinical application of new development. The article must contain original biomedical engineering content, defined as development, theoretical analysis, and evaluation/validation of a new technique. BMEL publishes the following types of papers: original articles, review articles, editorials, and letters to the editor. All the papers are reviewed in single-blind fashion.
