摘要：

Contactless electroreflectance (CER) has been applied to study band bending in Be-doped GaInNAs/GaAs quantum wells (QWs). It has been shown that (i) the sign of GaAs-related CER signal changes from positive to negative due to Be-doping and (ii) QW-related CER resonances disappear for Be-doped QWs whereas they are clearly observed for un-doped QWs. The two observations indicate a Be-related shift in the Fermi level above the hole levels in the QW region, i.e., the change in band bending in this system. The results point out that the experimentally-observed enhancement in QW photoluminescence upon Be-doping is associated with a better collection/confinement of photogenerated carriers by the Be-doped GaInNAs QW.
