Development of optical chemical sensors for the detection of specific toxic chemicals at ultratrace levels and analysis of complex mixtures is crucial for new green and safe technologies [1, 2]. Metallic structures confined at the nanoscale acquire interesting properties such as strongly localizing E fields on their surfaces through Plasmonic Resonance under stimuli of light at certain wavelengths. This nanostructures are called plasmonic structures [3–5]. This effect is exploited to amplify the optical signal obtained by the molecules of interest, located near plasmonic structures [3, 6]. Purpose of the work is the development of innovative, easy to manufacture and cheap optical active layer consisting of Plasmonic Ag Nanoparticles on a Wide Band Gap semiconductor material such as Silicon Carbide to be used as substrate for Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering or for the fabrication of integrated optical sensor for remote …
