Abstract
A gallium nitride group compound semiconductor laser diode (10) satisfying the formula (Al.sub.x Ga.sub.1-x).sub.y In.sub.1-y N, inclusive of 0.ltoreq.x.ltoreq.1 and 0.ltoreq.y.ltoreq.1 comprises by a double hetero-junction structure sandwiching an active layer (5) between layers (4, 6) having wider band gaps than the active layer (5). The active layer (5) may comprise magnesium (Mg) doped p-type conductive gallium nitride group compound semiconductor satisfying the formula (Al.sub.x Ga.sub.1-x).sub.y In.sub.1-y N, inclusive of 0.ltoreq.x.ltoreq.1 and 0.ltoreq.y.ltoreq.1 . In another embodiment, the active layer (5) is doped with silicon (Si).
