The electromagnetic interaction between Ag nanoparticles on the top of the Si substrate and the incident light has been studied by numerical simulations. It is found that the presence of a dielectric layer with different thickness leads to varied resonance wavelength and scattering cross section, and consequently shifted photocurrent response over all wavelengths. These different behaviors are determined by whether the dielectric layer is beyond the domain where the near field of nanoparticles takes effect, and geometrical optics effects must be taken into account. It is revealed that for particle of a certain size, an appropriate dielectric layer thickness is desirable to achieve the best absorption performance. For a certain thickness of dielectric layer, an appropriate granular size is also desirable. These observations have substantial applications for the optimization of surface plasmon enhanced silicon solar cells.
