In this study, Silver nanoprisms/Graphene Oxide/Silicon nanowires (AgNPr/GO/SiNWs) nanocomposites have been fabricated for Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) of Rhodamine 6G (R6G). The SiNWs have been synthesized using the metal-assisted chemical etching method. The surface morphologies of the SiNWs samples have been investigated using scanning electron microscopy. By varying the etching time from 5 to 30 min, the nanowire lengths have been tuned from 2 to 10 µm. While the average nanowire diameter remained unaffected (30-60 nm) with the increase in etching time, increments of nanowires length were found to alter the bundle morphology. The final SERS structure is obtained by depositing the GO layer followed by AgNPr. The obtained SERS sensor exhibited an enhanced efficiency as compared to AgNPr/SiNW matrix. The results demonstrate that a maximum efficiency factor of 6.1×1010 could be achieved with sensor fabricated with 30 min etched SiNWs.

In this work, we combined a hierarchical nano-array effect of silicon nanowires (SiNWs) with a metallic surface of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) to design a surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) scattering substrate for sensitive detection of Rhodamine 6G (R6G) which is a typical dye for fluorescence probes. The SiNWs were prepared by Metal-Assisted Chemical Etching (MACE) of n-Si (100) wafers. The Doehlert design methodology was used for planning the experiment and analyzing the experimental results. Thanks to this methodology, the R6G SERS response has been optimized by studying the effects of the silver nitrate concentration, silver nitrate and R6G immersion times and their interactions. The immersion time in R6G solution stands out as the most of influential factor on the SERS response.
