We report huge field accumulations in rectangular aperture arrays on thin metal film by using shape resonance in THz frequency region. A huge far-field transmission enhancement is observed in samples of various widths ranging from 10 mu m to 1.8 mu m which correspond to only an order of lambda/100. Theoretical calculations based on vector diffraction theory indicates 230 times near-field enhancement in case of the 1.8 mu m wide rectangular aperture. Transmission measurement through the single rectangular aperture shows that the shape resonance, not the periodicity, is mainly responsible for the transmission enhancement and the corresponding field enhancement.
