Abstract
In this paper, we reported a theoretical study of a novel Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensor composed of BK7 prism, gold (Au)/silver (Ag) bimetallic layer, silicon and two-dimensional (2D) materials. The bimetallic layer combines the advantages of Au and Ag and the high refractive index silicon layer enhances the electric field on the surface of the sensor, so that the sensor has a better overall performance in terms of sensitivity and figure of merit (FOM). Compared with ordinary dielectrics, 2D materials have excellent photoelectric properties, such as larger specific surface area, higher carrier density and stronger adsorption capacity, which improve the detection ability of the sensor. The sensitivity of the optimized sensor achieves 297.2°/RIU, 274°/RIU and 246°/RIU when the silicon layer is covered with graphene, MXene (Ti3T2Cx) and MoS2, respectively. Compared with the traditional SPR sensor, the sensitivity of the structure has been significantly improved, and its excellent performance has broad application prospects in biosensing and other fields.
