A second diode is formed directly on the first diode. The second diode comprises a first layer having a third type of dopant and a second layer above the first layer of the second diode, the second layer of the second diode having a fourth type of dopant that is opposite to the third type of dopant. In another general embodiment, a process includes a repeated sequence of growing a first layer having a first type of electrically active dopant and growing a second layer having a second type of electrically active dopant that is opposite to the first type of dopant.
