An optical signal receiving circuit has a current-voltage converting circuit which receives the output current signal of a photoelectric converting circuit, converting an optical signal into the current signal, and converts the current signal into a voltage signal. A differential circuit in the subsequent stage to the current-voltage converting circuit uses a resistor as its current source to facilitate setting of an operating voltage level in the circuit. To eliminate an adverse effect of asymmetry of the output waveform from the differential circuit due to the use of the resistor, the reference voltage level as the other input to the reference circuit is generated from the output voltage signal of the current-voltage converting circuit by a voltage generating circuit incorporating a feed-forward-controlling connection. Thus, coexistence of high bandwidth characteristics and broad dynamic range having so far been difficult to attain by low voltage apparatus can be realized.

When growth of an N type doped galliumnitride (GaN) layer with silicon (Si) is carried out, a method of alternate growth of the N type doped GaN layer with Si and a U type undoped GaN layer with no Si is adopted. According to the growth method of the LED epitaxial wafer, the thickness of an original N type GaN layer is kept, a doped GaN layer with Si with continuous growth in a traditional growth method is modified into an alternate structure layer formed by the N type doped GaN layer with Si and a U type GaN layer with no doped Si, and usage amount of dopant is saved to a certain degree. In an alternate structure of the N type doped GaN layer with Si and the U type undoped GaN layer with no Si, the doped GaN lay with Si is low in resistance value, and the undoped GaN layer with no Si is high in resistance value. Due to the facts that the doped GaN layer with Si is low in resistance value, and the undoped GaN layer with no Si is high in resistance value, horizontal expansion capacity of electrons is strengthened, and thus a driving voltage is reduced, and meanwhile luminance and a lighting effect are improved.
