Abstract: An electrically driven device for surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy includes a first electrode, a substrate positioned proximate to the first electrode, a plurality of cone shaped protrusions formed integrally with or on a substrate surface, a Raman signal-enhancing material coated on each protrusion, and a second electrode positioned relative to the first electrode at a predetermined distance. Each of the protrusions has a tip with a radius of curvature ranging from about 0.1 nm to about 100 nm. The second electrode is positioned relative to the first electrode such that the electrodes together produce an electric field when a voltage bias is applied therebetween. The electric field has a field distribution that creates a stronger field gradient at a region proximate to the tips than at other portions of the substrate.

Abstract: A semiconductor assembly is described in which a support element is constructed on a surface of a semiconductor lamina. Following formation of the thin lamina, which may have a thickness about 50 microns or less, the support element is formed, for example by plating, or by application of a precursor and curing in situ, resulting in a support element which may be, for example, metal, ceramic, polymer, etc. This is in contrast to pre-formed support element which is affixed to the lamina following its formation, or to a donor wafer from which the lamina is subsequently cleaved.Fabricating the support element in situ may avoid the use of adhesives to attach the lamina to a permanent support element. In some embodiments, this process flow allows the lamina to be annealed at high temperature, then to have an amorphous silicon layer formed on each face of the lamina following that anneal.
