Abstract
A luminescent diode is comprised of n- and p-conductive layer components in which a graded bandgap is present and between which a pn-junction is present. The p-conductive layer component is produced by means of an additional zinc additive during an epitaxy processing utilized for manufacturing the device. The luminescent diode of the invention has improved efficiency and a higher modulation capability cutoff frequency.
