ABSTRACT:
An improved semiconductor construction and method of fabrication having a luminous element for emitting light is provided composed of a layer having a pn junction formed with a first semiconductor layer of a first conductivity type and a second semiconductor layer of a second conductivity type on an upper portion of a luminescent layer. In one portion of the above-described layer, an area for a current path consisting of the second conductivity type is formed extending from the second semiconductor layer to the first semiconductor layer. An ohmic contact electrode is then created covering substantially the entire upper surface of the second semiconductor layer with the exception of the area defined for the current path.
