Abstract:
A method for manufacturing an optical sensor includes forming a reflective metal layer on a substrate, forming an insulator layer on the reflective metal layer, inducing self-assembly of a metal nanostructure layer on the insulator layer, and selectively etching the insulator layer through a reactive ion etching process to form a plurality of pillars and a plurality of spaces defined by the plurality of pillars. The method for manufacturing a plasmonic optical sensor according to this embodiment facilitates the formation of nanostructures difficult to pattern and form on the large scale at a low cost, and provides a plasmonic optical sensor with repeatability.

Claim (Index 5):
The method for manufacturing an optical sensor according to  claim 4 , wherein the forming of the reflective metal layer and the inducing of the self-assembly of the metal nanostructure layer are performed through a thermal evaporation process, and\n a thermal evaporation rate of the reflective metal layer is faster than a thermal evaporation rate of the nanostructure layer.
