Abstract

Multi-channel images of 11-MUA(11-Mercaptoundecanoic acid) and 11-MUOH(11-Mercaptoundecanol) self-assembled monolayers were obtained by using two-dimensional surface plasmon resonance (SPR) absorption. The patterning process was simplified by exploiting direct photo-oxidation of thiol bonding (photolysis) instead of conventional photolithography. Sharper images were resolved by using a white light source in combination with a narrow bandpass filter in the visible region, minimizing the diffraction patterns on the images. The line profile calibration of the image contrast caused by different resonance conditions at each point on the sensor surface (at a fixed incident angle) enables us to discriminate the monolayer thickness in nanometer scale. Furthermore, there is no signal degradation such as photo bleaching or quenching, which are common in the detection methods based on fluorescence.

이차원 표면 플라즈몬의 공명 흡수와 포토 마스크를 이용하여 11-MUA(11-Mercaptoundecanoic acid)와 11-MUOH(11-Mercaptoundecanol) 둥으로 이루어진 자기조립 단분자막(Self-Assembled Monolayer; SAM)의 다채널 영상을 얻었다. 통상의 Photoresist를 이용한 리토그래피 대신에 Thiol bonding의 광산화를 이용하여 패터닝 과정을 줄이고, 백색광 및 대역통과 필터(λ$_{0}$=633nm)를 이용하여 입사광으로써 레이저를 사용할 때 나타나는 간섭무늬를 줄였다. 이로부터 나타나는 이차원 영상의 명암을 정량적으로 보정하면 수 나노미터(nm) 두께의 변화를 측정할 수 있다. 또한 표면 플라즈몬 공명법은 국소화된 근접장 (소산장)을 이용하는 방법으로서, 통상 많이 이용되는 형광법 등에서 나타나는 광탈색(Photobleaching)이나 소광(Quenching) 현상이 없이 시료의 처리가 간단하고, 영상 신호의 시간에 따른 변화가 극히 적으며, 실시간으로 신호의 변화를 측정할 수 있다는 장점이 있다.
