  • Fabrication of conducting open nanoshells
    Patent number: 8999183
    Abstract: A method involving ion milling is demonstrated to fabricate open-nanoshell suspensions and open-nanoshell monolayer structures. Ion milling technology allows the open-nanoshell geometry and upward orientation on substrates to be controlled. Substrates can be fabricated covered with stable and dense open-nanoshell monolayer structures, showing nanoaperture and nanotip geometry with upward orientation, that can be used as substrates for SERS-based biomolecule detection.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 10, 2012
    Date of Patent: April 7, 2015
    Assignees: IMEC, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, K.U. Leuven R&D
    Inventors: Willem Jozef Katharina Van Roy, Jian Ye, Pol Van Dorpe
