The influences of Si sheet doping levels on the properties of InAs/GaAs quantum dots (QDs) are investigated by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and photoluminescence (PL). AFM measurements reveal that Si sheet doping doesn't change the morphology of InAs QDs. Conductive AFM exhibits a quick current decrease when the Si doping density reaches 5\times1011cm-2. PL measurements show that the Si doping can significantly enhance the PL intensity. The PL peak intensity of InAs QDs doped to 5\times1011cm-2 is increased about thirty-five times from that of the undoped ones at 300K. The results observed here can be explained by a supposed positive-charged, strain-relaxed Si-doped thin InAs layer inside the InAs QDs.
