Self assembled quantum dots (QDs) act as major candidates for many future quantum devices for which much higher material quality are needed. While disadvantages of non-radiative recombination centers are obvious for optoelectronic devices, fluctuating charges in the environment of QDs lead to spectral wandering or blinking, as the electric field varies randomly and changes the emitter's energy levels by quantum confined Stark effect [1].
A trap charge density sensor using capacitance-voltage (C-V) spectroscopy on QDs embedded in a diode structure is demonstrated. After optically exciting our device at different biases and wavelengths, we find a strongly electric field and photon energy dependent persistent shift of the QDs' charging resonances. We propose a Franz-Keldysh or k-space indirect type of excitation of trap states within the diode. To quantify the according charge trap density, we model the band bending by 1D band structure simulation. For low trap densities we find an excellent agreement with a simple linear dependence, making our device an efficient charge trap density monitor.
