Popis: Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is gaining importance as an ultrasensitive analytical tool for routine high-throughput analysis of a variety of molecular compounds. One of the main challenges is the development of robust, reproducible and cost-effective SERS substrates. In this work, we study the SERS activity of 3D silver mirror-like micro-pyramid structures extended in the z-direction up to 3.7 μm (G0 type substrate) or 7.7 μm (G1 type substrate), prepared by Si-based microfabrication technologies, for trace detection of organophosphorous pesticides, using paraoxon-methyl as probe molecule. The average relative standard deviation (RSD) for the SERS intensity of the peak displayed at 1338 cm
