Popis: We present here the amplification of the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) signal of nanodisks on a gold film for SERS sensing of small molecules (thiophenol) with an excellent sensitivity. The enhancement is achieved by adding a silicon underlayer for the composition of the nanodisks. We experimentally investigated the sensitivity of the suggested Au/Si disk-shaped nanoresonators for chemical sensing by SERS. We achieved values of enhancement factors of 5 × 10 7 − 6 × 10 7 for thiophenol sensing. Moreover, we remarked that the enhancement factor (EF) values reached experimentally behave qualitatively as those evaluated with the E 4 model.
