The second layers have graded thicknesses with respect to distances from the p-doped semiconductor compound layer. A subset of the second layers located most adjacent to the p-doped semiconductor compound layer is doped with a p-type dopant. The doped second layers have graded doping concentration levels that vary with respect to distances from the p-doped semiconductor layer.
