Abstract

The influence of built in piezoelectric field in the light-emitting diodes based on InGaN/AlGaN/GaN heterostructures on the electroreflectance spectra have been studied. The structures were grown by MOCVD technology and «flip-chip» mounted. Light was emitted or reflected through sapphire substrate. The built in electric field in the structure was modulated by pulses of reverse bias from -6 to +1 V applied to the contacts of diode. Observed blue shift of spectral line from InGaN/GaN multiply quantum wells region with the increasing reverse bias voltage has been explained as the result of lowering of the electric field in the quantum well.
