Gold Pyramid Probe Tips
- Detailed Technology Description
- Single Molecule Fluorescence and Tip-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (TERS)A method has been developed to fabricate high-quality, uniform, ultra sharp (10 nm) gold pyramid probe tips. The technique is more reproducible and with a higher yield than current techniques and produces tips with better performance. The pyramids are perfect for use in single-molecule fluorescence imaging, tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS) and other near-field imaging techniques.MN-IP Try and BuyThis technology is available via a standard negotiated license agreement. Contact Kevin Nickels for specific details.Uses Template Stripping Fabrication Instead of Focused Ion BeamCurrent technology uses slow and expensive nanofabrication tools such as focused ion beam (FIB) or electron-based lithography techniques to produce probes for near-field imaging techniques. The described technique uses template stripping fabrication, which makes the process more reproducible, higher yielding and less expensive.BENEFITS OF TEMPLATE STRIPPING GOLD PYRAMID PROBE TIPS:Highly reproducible, high-yield technique.Produces ultra-smooth, ultra-sharp probe tips.Ideal for use in single-molecule fluorescence imaging, tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS) and other near-field imaging techniques.Less expensive than probes fabricated using other techniques.Product DetailsA method of producing gold pyramid probe tips for near-field imaging techniques.Fulfillment DetailsLicensee will receive rights to practice the intellectual property (patent application) for the purposes of developing and manufacturing a commercial product.Phase of DevelopmentGold pyramid tips have been made and tested in near-field optical imaging instrument.
