    We suggested a plasmonic platform based on a cubic pattern of gold spheres for surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). In the case of linear polarization along the symmetry axes, the SERS enhancement per area is identical to hexagonally patterned surfaces. The validity of this model was tested using the simulation package of COMSOL Multiphysics- Modeling Software. We found an improved sensitivity in the near infrared and visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum. This method considered tolerance towards stacking faults and suggested a plasmonic platform for ultra-sensing applications. The design can be extended towards the molecular detection if the proposed plasmonic platform is used with SERS.
