Based　on　the　template　synthesis　method,　the　highly　ordered　gold　nanorod　array　structure　has　been　fabricated　by　being　deposited　the　gold　films　on　the　porous　anodic　alumina　(PAA)　template　by　using　magnetron　sputtering.　The　fabricated　gole　nanorod　array　structrue　was　characterized　by　using　the　scanning　electron　microscopy　(SEM)　and　the　atomic　force　microscopy　(AFM).　The　results　showed　that　the　prepared　gold　films　are　composed　of　arrays　of　sharp　rod-shaped　(60　nm　at　diameter,　20　nm　at　apex,　300~600　nm　at　length,　100　nm　at　pitch)　gold　nanostructures.　These　highly　ordered　structures　are　in　agreement　with　the　pores＇　of　PAA　template.
