Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of micro-nano sensing technology, and in particular, the present application relates to a novel gold-silicon SERS substrate preparation method based on femtosecond laser processing and application. BACKGROUND

[0002] In 1928, Indian physicist C.V. Raman discovered that every substance has unique spectral characteristics, which can be used to identify specific molecules in a sample. However, due to the extremely weak Raman scattering signal (only 10 -6 ~ 10 -10 ), this phenomenon is difficult to use for in-depth study of molecular structure and properties. Until 1974, the emergence of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) technology broke this bottleneck. SERS technology is a highly sensitive, non-destructive detection method. This phenomenon was first discovered by accident by British scientist Fleischmann when studying pyridine molecules adsorbed on the surface of a rough silver electrode. He observed an abnormal Raman signal enhancement phenomenon. Subsequently, scholars such as Van Duyne and Creighton confirmed through systematic experimental verification and theoretical calculation that this signal enhancement was not simply due to the increase in electrode surface area, but a new physical enhancement mechanism. This major discovery laid the theoretical foundation for SERS technology and promoted its development into an important tool for modern spectral analysis.

[0003] Femtosecond laser processing is a kind of laser with extremely short pulse width, usually referring to laser with pulse duration in the range of femtosecond. Femtosecond laser processing has extremely high peak power, and can release a large amount of energy in a very short time. Therefore, femtosecond laser processing can ablate any material. When femtosecond laser processing is irradiated to the surface of the material, the laser pulse photons are absorbed by the material to form hot electrons, which collide with the material lattice to achieve material removal, thereby processing micro-nano structures on the material surface. Electrochemical deposition is an important micro-nano manufacturing technology in micro-nano structure processing. By controlling the electric field and chemical reactions in the electrolyte, metal or alloy materials can be precisely deposited on conductive substrates to form micro or nano scale structures.

[0004] Microfluidic chip technology, a scientific technique capable of manipulating fluids at the micrometer scale, has the potential to condense essential laboratory functions in biology, chemistry, and other fields onto a chip measuring less than a few square centimeters. Currently, most mainstream microfluidic chips consist of a network of microchannels, with controllable fluids flowing throughout the chip, enabling the various functions required for conventional chemical or biological experiments. Its fundamental characteristic and greatest advantage lies in the ingenious combination and large-scale integration of multiple microstructured units within a tiny, controllable platform to accomplish detection, analysis, and other functions.

[0005] In the prior art, most of the SERS substrate manufacturing processes are costly and require harsh processing conditions, and the SERS detection sensitivity is relatively insufficient.

[0006] In view of the above-mentioned deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0077] Step S1.4, using femtosecond laser processing to process a micro-pit array on the surface of the silicon wafer;

[0078] The step S1.4 is specifically as follows:

[0079] Step S1.4.1: Fix the silicon wafer on a three-dimensional high-precision mobile platform, adjust the laser optical path, and assemble the objective lens to 10X / 0.25;

[0080] Step S1.4.2: Turn on the CCD camera and focus on the silicon wafer plane until the image is clear;

[0083] Step S2, electrochemically depositing gold nano-spike structures;

[0084] Step S2.1, cutting and cleaning the silicon wafer;

[0085] The step S2.1 is specifically as follows:

[0086] After femtosecond laser processing, the silicon wafers were cut and ultrasonically cleaned in deionized water, anhydrous ethanol, and acetone for 15 minutes respectively. After cleaning, they were blown dry with nitrogen to remove residual processing debris, fingerprints, and small debris on the surface of the silicon wafers.

[0088] The step S2.2 is specifically as follows:

[0089] Prepare a 10mM HAuCl4 solution and a 0.5M HCl solution. Add equal volumes of the two solutions to the electrolytic cell. Then add 1% Triton X-100, which is the electrodeposition system. The purpose of adding Triton X-100 is to reduce the water tension of the electrolyte on the surface of the micropits, allowing the electrolyte to enter the bottom of the micropits. This completes the electrolyte preparation.

[0090] Step S2.3: Plasma-treating the cleaned silicon wafer for 150 seconds. This step is to enhance the hydrophilicity of the silicon wafer, allowing the electrolyte to more smoothly enter the bottom of the micro-pits, resulting in better electrodeposition effect.

Use a copper rod-platinum electrode clamp to secure and connect to an electrochemical workstation. Preheat the electrochemical workstation for 30 minutes before electrodeposition.

Select the i-tAmperometric iT Curve chronoamperometry method, set the potential to -3 V, the deposition time to 1800 s, the Sample Interval to 0.01 s, the Quiet Time to 0 s, and the Sensitivity to 1.e-003. Click OK to start electrodeposition.

[0095] Step S2.4.3: After the electrodeposition is completed, the sample is removed from the electrolytic cell and placed in an oven for drying;

[0096] The preparation of the gold-silicon SERS substrate with a micro-pit array on the surface is completed;

[0097] Figure 3 SEM image of gold-silicon SERS substrate;

[0099] The cancer cells are PC-3 tumor cells and LNCaP tumor cells in prostate cancer;

[0100] in,

[0101] The application of gold-silicon SERS substrate processed by femtosecond laser in the detection of cancer cells includes the following steps:

[0102] The step S3 is specifically as follows:

[0103] The SERS substrate was treated with oxygen plasma for 90 to 120 seconds, and then soaked in a 10-6 mol / L MGITC solution in the dark for 3 to 4 hours. Finally, it was taken out and rinsed with deionized water to remove the free MGITC Raman reporter molecules not attached to the SERS substrate, and placed in a culture dish to air dry naturally. The prepared SERS substrate was placed on the test sample stage of the Renishaw Raman spectrometer, and then the SERS substrate was Raman detected and the results of the statistical test were collected. The test parameters of the Renishaw Raman spectrometer are: 20× microscope objective, excitation light source: 633nm, laser power: 1.7mW~5.5mW, integration time 1s, integration number 1 time, laser intensity 5%, and data from 10 random points on the SERS substrate were collected and recorded, and the average value was generated to compare the Raman signal with that of the ordinary gold-plated substrate. The results show that the gold-silicon SERS substrate processed by femtosecond laser has better Raman enhancement effect. Figure 4 As shown, cancer cells can also be captured Figure 5As shown in the figure, this is something that a smooth gold-plated substrate cannot achieve. The uniformity of SERS signals is one of the key indicators of a SERS substrate. SERS signals are detected at 10 random points on the same SERS substrate. Generally speaking, if the RSD (relative standard deviation) is below 10%, it means that the uniformity is good. Figure 6 As shown, the prepared SERS substrate was used to characterize the characteristic peak of Raman reporter molecule MGITC at 1614 cm -1 The peak value was used to measure the uniformity of the substrate, with RSD ≈ 7.49%, indicating good uniformity;

[0105] Step S4, substrate aptamer incubation and capture of cancer cells;

[0106] The step S4 is specifically as follows:
