Abstract

In this study, we propose a surface plasmon resonance (SPR)-based biosensor using silicon nitride (Si[SUB]3[/SUB]N[SUB]4[/SUB]), black phosphorous (BP), and thiol-tethered DNA as a ligand for fast detection of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. In the proposed biosensor, we have deposited silver (Ag), Si[SUB]3[/SUB]N[SUB]4[/SUB], and BP on the base of the BK-7 prism and investigated the performance parameters on the probe in different combinations of the mentioned materials. Herein, three (Ag, Si[SUB]3[/SUB]N[SUB]4[/SUB], and BP) different configurations are introduced and compared for the detection of SARS-CoV-2. Furthermore, with the help of the transfer matrix method (TMM), all the three configurations have been analyzed. Notably, the combination of Ag, Si[SUB]3[/SUB]N[SUB]4[/SUB], and BP shows better sensitivity (154°/RIU) when compared with other configurations for the detection of SARS-CoV-2. This work may facilitate a new sensing device to detect SARS-CoV-2, based on the hybrid materials.
