Direct evidence is given of the enhancement of polar modes strength, on the substrate side, by the electric field of the space-charge zone associated with Fermi-level pinning. The latter is qualitatively analyzed by following band flattening under illumination through the evolution of interfacial coupled LO-phonon-plasmon modes. Corresponding Raman line shapes are discussed within the phenomenological approach of D. H. Hon and W. L. Faust [Appl. Phys. 1, 241 1 (1973)]. %G English %L hal-00547055 %U https://hal.science/hal-00547055 %~ UNIV-TLSE3 %~ LPST %~ CNRS %~ UNIV-MONTP2 %~ GES %~ UNIV-MONTPELLIER %~ UNIV-UT3 %~ UT3-INP %~ UT3-TOULOUSEINP %~ UM1-UM2
