A double hetero structure light-emitting diode device includes an active layer (6), a positive-electrode-side cladding layer, a negative-electrode-side cladding layer (4), a window layer (9) and an undoped AlInP layer. The positive-electrode-side cladding layer includes an undoped AlInP layer (7) grown to have a thickness of 0.5 .mu.m and an intermediate layer (8) doped to assume p-type conductivity and having an intermediate energy band gap value between that of the undoped AlInP layer and that of the window layer. The window layer on the intermediate layer is a GaP layer grown at 730.degree. C. or higher and at a growth rate of 7.8 .mu.m/hour or more in the presence of Ze serving as a dopant. The negative-electrode-side cladding layer is provided with an undoped AlInP layer (5) having a thickness of 0.1 .mu.m or more. With this configuration, there is provided a light-emitting diode device that enhances the crystallinity of a window layer, prevents generation of faults caused by a high-temperature process and attains high luminance at a wavelength falling within a yellow-green band.
