ABSTRACTWe demonstrate and analyze a highly efficient on-chip 3D metal-insulator-metal (MIM) nanofocusing structure. Here, we show the in-depth theoretical design, analysis and discussion to provide a detailed picture of the highly efficient, on-chip nanofocusing process which is linearly tapered in 3D.

Microelectrode geometry has significant influence on particles trapping techniques used on bioanalysis platforms. In this paper, the particle trapping patterns of dipole, quadrupole and octupole microelectrode using dielectrophoretic force (DEP) are discussed. The microelectrodes were constructed on a metal-insulator-metal platform, built on a silicon nitride (Si3N4) coated silicon substrate. The back contact is made from 20 nm nickel-chromium (NiCr) and 100 nm gold (Au) as the first layer. Then, SU-8-2005 (negative photoresist) is used on the second layer to create microcavities for trapping the particles. The third layer, where the three geometries were patterned, is made from 20 nm NiCr and 100 nm Au layers. Prior to fabrication, the particles trapping patterns of the microelectrodes were profiled using a finite element software, COMSOL 3.5a. Trapping patterns for the three geometries were evaluated using polystyrene latex microbeads. Results from the experiment validate simulation studies in term of microelectrode trapping ability up to single particle efficiency. It provides the potential of converting the trapping platform into a lab-on-chip system.

An ultra-high plasmonic refractive index sensing structure composed of a metal–insulator–metal (MIM) waveguide coupled to a T-shape cavity and several metal nanorod defects is proposed and investigated by using finite element method. The designed plasmonic MIM waveguide can constitute a cavity resonance zone and the metal nanorod defects can effectively trap the light in the T-shape cavity. The results reveal that both the size of defects in wider rectangular cavity and the length of narrower rectangular cavity are primary factors increasing the sensitivity performance. The sensitivity can achieve as high as 8280 nm/RIU (RIU denotes the refractive index unit), which is the highest sensitivity reported in plasmonic MIM waveguide-based sensors to our knowledge. In addition, the proposed structure can also serve as a temperature sensor with temperature sensitivity as high as 3.30 nm/°C. The designed structure with simplicity and ease of fabrication can be applied in sensitivity nanometer scale refractive index sensor and may potentially be used in optical on-chip nanosensor.
