Abstract

N type GaAlAs, GaAs and GaAlAs layers are successively grown on a semi-insulating GaAs substrate doped with Cr. Zn is diffused into predetermined portions of those layers to a depth reaching the substrate to form pn junctions between the original n type regions of the layers and their regions are converted to the p from the n type conductivity. The pn junction formed in the GaAs layer serves as a light emitting region.
