研究目的
To demonstrate the use of niobium-doped titanium oxide (TiO2:Nb) in nanostrip and nanodisk antenna arrays for infrared plasmonic devices such as surface-enhanced infrared absorption spectroscopy (SEIRA).
研究成果
The study successfully designed and fabricated antenna arrays of nanostrips and nanodisks based on Nb-doped TiO2. The spectral features exhibit red-shift in their peak position as the sizes of strips and disks increase, with quality factor improvements possible with further dimension extension.
研究不足
The study notes that perfect cuboids were used in simulation, but the obtained ones were not perfectly flat at edges. Additionally, electron carrier concentration was decreased after etching, possibly due to electron-trapping fluorine ions on the surface of nanostructure.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved the fabrication of TiO2:Nb nanoantenna arrays using electron beam lithography combined with plasma etching and oxygen plasma ashing processes. The optical properties were characterized with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR).
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The samples were prepared on silicon (001) and borosilicate glass substrates. The TiO2:Nb film was co-sputtered at room temperature with TiO2 ceramic and Nb metallic targets.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment included a sputtering chamber (Shibaura Mechatronics Corporation), Ellipsometry (SENTECH), electron beam lithography (ELIONIX), reactive ion etching (ULVAC), oxygen plasma ashing (Mory PB-600), scanning electron microscopy (SEM, Hitachi), Atomic force microscope (AFM, Bruker Corporation), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR, Thermo Scientific Nicolet iS50).
4:0). Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
4. Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow: The process involved sputtering deposition, electron beam lithography, development, dry etching with SF6 gas, and oxygen plasma ashing. The samples were then characterized using SEM, AFM, and FTIR.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The data were analyzed using Finite-Difference Time-Domain method (FDTD) simulations to compare with experimental results.
