  • Patent number: 12266525
    Abstract: A first capping layer is deposited over a substrate. A first capping layer is deposited over a substrate. A network of nanowires is grown over the first capping layer. A second capping layer is deposited over the network of nanowires. The substrate is etched to expose the first capping layer. The first capping layer and the second capping layer are thinned around the nanowires to form a coating on the nanowires.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11923196
    Abstract: A first capping layer is deposited over a substrate. A network of nanowires is grown over the first capping layer. A second capping layer is deposited over the network of nanowires. The substrate is etched to form a frame of a pellicle. The first capping layer and the second capping layer are patterned to form a membrane of the pellicle, wherein the patterning reduces a material of the first capping layer and the second capping layer to form a coating on the nanowires.

  • Patent number: 9518927
    Abstract: In a Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) substrate and the manufacturing method thereof, the SERS substrate includes a low thermal conductivity base and a plurality of metal nanoparticles (NPs). The surface of the low thermal conductivity substrate has a first surface, and the first surface has a plurality of ripple micro/nano structures. The plurality of metal NPs are non-continuously densely arranged on the ripple micro/nano structures of the first surface. The metal NPs have a height difference along the ripple micro/nano structures, and form a 3D electric field enhanced region. The manufacturing methods includes sputtering a metal nano-thin film on a surface of a low thermal conductivity base, and the surface of the low thermal conductivity base has a plurality of ripple micro/nano structures; using laser to ablate the metal nano-thin film; and forming a plurality of metal NPs, which are non-continuously densely arranged.
