Gold mesostructures are fabricated by oblique angle deposition on highly oriented mesoporous silica (MPS) thin films utlizing the periodic surface corrugation on the scale of 10 nm as a prepattern for controlled deposition. Scanning electron microscopy analysis clarified that the mesostructures comprised an array of interconnected gold nanorods oriented in plane to form meso gratings. We measured the surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) to demonstrate that the nanosized gaps between the rods act as hotspots. Although the sample was as thin as 8.0 nm, large SERS signals appeared because of the very narrow gaps (< 2 nm). The spatial mapping confirmed the uniform distribution of hotspots over the sample.
