Popis: We present an efficient method for fabrication of desired periodic metallic structures. By using the magnetron sputtering technique, the gold nano-layer was isotropically deposited onto a photoresist template, which had been previously fabricated by an interference technique. During a subsequent thermal annealing process, the gold coating layer melted and split allowing the photoresist core-template to evaporate and consequently leave a desired metal structure on the substrate surface. The proposed method exhibits advantages such as simplicity and low cost, which allows one to realize large-area plasmonic structures that are very promising for numerous applications, especially plasmonic-based photonic devices.
