This master's thesis focuses on the development and optimization of a methology for the fabrication and subsequent quality control of the tips designed for Tip-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (TERS). The theoretical part provides an introduction to the method and discusses the mechanisms underlying the signal enhancement. The experimental part focuses on the fabrication of gold STM tips and coating of the comercial AFM probes. The primary objective of this fabrication proces was to obtain tips with the desired plasmonic properties. The fabricated tips were subsequently applied in TERS experiments using an integrated NTEGRA Spectra PML setup to verify their performance. Highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) and brilliant cresyl blue dye were used as samples.
