Carrier Lifetime Control Through the Quantum Confined Stark Effect
Abstract
This study explores how the quantum confined Stark effect (QCSE) influences minority carrier lifetimes in III-N quantum wells (QWs) by varying the well width. It is found that increasing QW width from zero (bulk material) increases radiative lifetime due to charge separation until charge screening effects reduce and rectify the QCSE for large well widths.
