ABSTRACT:
A light-generating semiconductor region is grown by epitaxy on a silicon substrate. The light-generating semiconductor region is a lamination of layers of semiconducting nitrides containing a Group III element or elements. The silicon substrate has a p-type impurity-diffused layer formed therein by thermal diffusion of the Group III element or elements from the light-generating semiconductor region as a secondary product of the epitaxial growth of this region on the substrate. The p-type impurity-diffused layer is utilized as a part of overvoltage protector diodes which are serially interconnected with each other and in parallel with the LED section of the device between a pair of electrodes.
