In this work, a plasmonic sensor established on metal-insulator-metal waveguide configuration is proposed and numerically investigated for biosensing applications. The spectral sensing characteristics of the device are examined via two-dimensional finite element method. Sensitivity (Sbulk) figure merit (FOM) two important parameters that considered to determine performance. Sbulk as ratio betwe...
