Abstract
A light-emitting diode having a stack-like structure, whereby the stack-like structure comprises a substrate layer and a mirror layer and an n-doped bottom cladding layer and an active layer, producing electromagnetic radiation, and a p-doped top cladding layer and an n-doped current spreading layer, and the aforementioned layers are arranged in the indicated sequence. The active layer comprises a quantum well structure. A tunnel diode is situated between the top cladding layer and the current spreading layer, whereby the current spreading layer is formed predominantly of an n-doped Ga-containing layer, having a Ga content >1%.
