Plasmonic means can be utilized to significantly boost device efficiency. We separately form the tunneling metal-insulator-metal (MIM) junction for electron collection and the plasmon exciting MIM structure on top of each other, which provides high flexibility in plasmonic design and tunneling MIM design separately. We demonstrate close to one order of magnitude enhancement in the short circuit current at the resonance wavelengths. © 2013 Optical Society of America.EnglishHot electronsPlasmonsDevice efficiencyElectron collectionsHigh flexibilityMagnitude enhancementMetal insulator metalsPhotovoltaic devicesPhotovoltaicsResonance wavelengthsMIM devicesarticleelectronelectronicsequipmentequipment designequipment failurepower supplysolar energysurface plasmon resonanceElectric Power SuppliesElectronicsElectronsEquipment DesignEquipment Failure AnalysisSolar EnergySurface Plasmon ResonanceArticle10.1364/OE.21.007196
