High-throughput Fabrication of Plasmonic Nanohole Array Sensors for Label-free Kinetic Biosensing
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this work, we demonstrate high-throughput fabrication of periodic metallic nanohole arrays in an almost centimeter square area through simple metal deposition and peeling off processes, called template stripping [1]. A thin silica layer is used to protect the template-stripped Ag nanoholes from unwanted oxidation and also to provide a robust surface on which lipid membranes can be formed. We also demonstrate label-free optical biosensing of molecular binding kinetics with the silica coated template-stripped nanohole arrays.
