Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were chemically deposited on the surface of photocurable PDMS films, and their surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) properties were investigated. Spherical, polycrystalline AgNPs with an average diameter of approximately 20 nm were formed through a surface-confined reaction driven by reducing groups in the PDMS. The Raman signal intensity exhibited a nonlinear increase with increasing AgNP surface density, indicating localized electromagnetic field enhancement due to "Hot Spot" formation between densely and closely spaced AgNPs. Furthermore, the AgNP density and SERS performance were effectively tuned by controlling the reaction temperature, immersion time, and precursor concentration.
