High-ordered particle-in-bowl (PIB) arrays are developed in this paper for surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). A heterogeneous shadow mask, composing of the chrome (Cr) layer and colloid residues, is used to fabricate the silicon ( Si ) template from where the PIB arrays finally lift-off. The finite difference time domain (FDTD) method is employed to investigate the Raman enhancement mechanism of this PIB architecture. The electromagnetic (EM) field tends to concentrate in the gap between the bowl and the particle forming the "hot spots". The enhancement factor (EF) of the EM field is about 70 with an excitation wavelength of 785 nm. The Raman measurements validate the EM calculation of the PIB arrays. The EF is about 1.12 × 107 using Rodamine 6G (R6G) as probe molecule. The proposed PIB array is high-ordered in morphology and ultra-sensitive in Raman measurement, providing an ideal substrate for SERS-based bio-chemical sensing, disease diagnosis and analytical chemistry.

The influence of a supporting matrix in surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has been investigated. The support matrices were conventional TLC plates onto which Ag colloidal hydrosols mixed with the dye pararosaniline had been deposited. The protocol of preparation of the Ag sol as well as the type of TLC plate had a profound effect upon the intensity of the SERS signals of pararosaniline. The Ag sol and the TLC plate that resulted in the maximum SERS intensities yielded a detection limit of ∼ 108 femtomols (33 pg) of dye deposited onto the TLC plate. Deposition of the dye/sol mixture onto the supporting matrix also resulted in stable SERS signals for extended periods of time, in contrast to the solution-phase case, where the signal is only transient in nature. In order to obtain the SERS spectra, a remote sensing Raman spectrometer was constructed and is described.
