We investigated the doping and electrical characteristics of p-type GaInNAs for use in a p-contact layer and in the p-distributed Bragg reflectors (p-DBRs) of surface emitting lasers. Beryllium doping was applied to GaInNAs grown by solid source molecular beam epitaxy with the nitrogen radical. The doping efficiency for the lattice-matched GaInNAs is similar to that of the GaAs, and a slight deterioration in hole mobility indicates the alloy scattering of the GaInNAs.
