  • Patent number: 10551322
    Abstract: A SERS unit comprises an integrally formed handling board and a SERS element secured within a container space provided in the handling board so as to open to one side in a thickness direction of the handling board. The SERS element has a substrate arranged on an inner surface of the container space and an optical function part formed on the substrate, for generating surface-enhanced Raman scattering.

  • Patent number: 10393663
    Abstract: An SERS element includes a substrate, a fine structure portion formed on a surface of the substrate and having a plurality of pillars, and a conductor layer formed on the fine structure portion and constituting an optical functional portion that causes surface-enhanced Raman scattering. A groove is provided in an outer surface of each pillar. A plurality of gaps are formed in the conductor layer by forming the conductor layer on the outer surface of each pillar in a state in which at least a portion of an inner surface of the groove is exposed.
