RESUMO

A simple and cost-effective method is proposed herein for a plasmonic nanoantenna array (PNAA) for the fabrication of metal-enhanced fluorescence (MEF) substrates in which fluorophores interact with the enhanced electromagnetic field generated by a localized surface plasmon to provide a higher fluorescence signal. The PNAA is fabricated by the deposition of a silver (Ag) layer on an ultraviolet (UV) nanoimprinted nanodot array with a pitch of 400 nm, diameter of 200 nm, and height of 100 nm. During deposition, raised Ag nanodisks and a lower Ag layer are, respectively, formed on the top and bottom of the imprinted nanodot array, and the gap between these Ag layers acts as a plasmonic nanoantenna. Since the thickness of the gap within the PNAA is influenced by the thickness of Ag deposition, the effects of the latter upon the geometrical properties of the fabricated PNAA are examined, and the electromagnetic field intensity distributions of PNAAs with various Ag thicknesses are simulated. Finally, the fluorescence enhancement factor (FEF) of the fabricated PNAA MEF substrate is measured using spotted Cy5-conjugated streptavidin to indicate a maximum enhancement factor of ~22× for the PNAA with an Ag layer thickness of 75 nm. The experimental results are shown to match the simulated results.

RESUMO

Although polymer nanoimprinting on glass substrates has been widely employed for the fabrication of functional anti-reflective (AR) nanostructures, several drawbacks exist with respect to durability and delamination. The direct patterning of glass material is a potential solution for outdoor applications that require AR functional nanostructured glass plates. In this study, a glass imprinting technique was employed for the fabrication of an AR nanostructure on a soda-lime glass substrate using a vitreous carbon (VC) stamp. The VC stamp, which had a high aspect ratio nanopost array with a pitch of 325 nm, diameter of 110 nm, and height of ~220 nm, was fabricated by the carbonization of a replicated Furan precursor from an Si master. During the glass imprinting process using the nanopost array VC stamp, the softened glass material gradually protruded into the spaces between the nanopins owing to viscoelastic behavior, and one can achieve a cross-sinusoidal surface relief under specific imprinting condition, which can be used as an AR nanostructure with a gradually increasing refractive index. The effects of the processing temperature on the surface profile of the glass imprinted parts and the measured transmission spectra were analyzed, and a glass imprinting temperature of 700 °C and pressure of 1 MPa were found to be the optimum condition. The height of the fabricated cross-sinusoidal nanostructure was 80 nm, and the light transmission was increased by ~2% over the entire visible-light range. Furthermore, the measured transmission spectrum observed to be in good agreement with the simulation results.
