], Fig. 2 was incorrectly presented. The modified Fig. 2 is illustrated below. The corresponding peak wavelengths in Fig. 2(b) should be 0.592 μm, 0.685 μm and 0.663 μm for Ag, Au and Cu, respectively. We regret this error, which do not affect any theoretical analysis showed in Eq. (1)–5.

Fig. 2 (a) Schematic device geometry illustrating the SPP mode at the Si/metal interface; (b) Absorption enhancement F_SPP as a function of wavelength in the thin Si region (d ≈0); (c) Peak value of F_SPP as a function of the layer thickness d. The traditional 4n² limit is also indicated.

We would like to thank Dr. Inho Kim at Korea Institute of Science and Technology for pointing out this mistake.
