Scalable Fabrication of Quasi-One-Dimensional Gold Nanoribbons for Plasmonic Sensing.

ABSTRACT: Plasmonic nanostructures have a wide range of applications, including chemical and biological sensing. However, the development of techniques to fabricate submicrometer-sized plasmonic structures over large scales remains challenging. We demonstrate a high-throughput, cost-effective approach to fabricate Au nanoribbons via chemical lift-off lithography (CLL). Commercial HD-DVDs were used as large-area templates for CLL. Transparent glass slides were coated with Au/Ti films and functionalized with self-assembled alkanethiolate monolayers. Monolayers were patterned with lines via CLL. The lifted-off, exposed regions of underlying Au were selectively etched into large-area grating-like patterns (200 nm line width; 400 nm pitch; 60 nm height). After removal of the remaining monolayers, a thin
