We design, fabricate, and characterize split-ring resonator (SRR) based planar terahertz metamaterials (MMs) on ultrathin silicon nitride substrates for biosensing applications. Proof-of-principle demonstration of increased sensitivity in thin substrate SRR-MMs is shown by detection of doped and undoped protein thin films (silk fibroin) of various thicknesses and by monitoring transmission changes using terahertz time-domain spectroscopy. SRR-MMs fabricated on thin film substrates show significantly better performance than identical SRR-MMs fabricated on bulk silicon substrates paving the way for improved biological and chemical sensing applications. © 2010 American Institute of Physics.
