Abstract
A first N-AlGaAs and a second N-GaAs layer are successively grown on an I-GaAs substrate. A third N-AlGaAs, a fourth P-AlGaAs and a fifth N-GaAs layer superpose one another on the second layer except for one lateral portion. Those portions of the five layers remote from the exposed second layer portion are changed into a P.sup.+ type and surrounded by a P zone. A positive and a negative electrode are located on the fifth layer and the exposed second layer portion respectively. The negative electrode is nearest to a laser region located in the second layer and can be secured to a heat sink.
