Abstract
A component has an active layer, barrier layers and, if appropriate, a buffer layer and at least one of these layers contains a beryllium-containing chalcogenide. The active layer is a multiple layer, for example a superlattice made of BeTe/ZnSe or of BeTe/ZnCdSe. When using an active layer of ZnSe on a substrate of GaAs, matching with low electrical resistance is achieved between the III-V materials and the II-VI materials by means of a pseudo-graded buffer layer including a beryllium-containing chalcogenide.
