Claim:
1. An optoelectronic device having at least one mesa structure including at least: a first and a second semiconductor portions, one being p-doped and the other being n-doped, and forming together a p-n junction, a first electrode electrically connected to the first semiconductor portion which is arranged between the second semiconductor portion and the first electrode, the optoelectronic device further comprising at least: a second electrode electrically connected to the second semiconductor portion, an element electrically insulated from the first semiconductor portion and the second semiconductor portion, and which is able to ionize dopants of at least one of the first and second semiconductor portions through generating an electric field in the at least one of the first and second semiconductor portions and which overlays at least one part of the side flanks of at least one part of the at least one of the first and second semiconductor portions and of at least one part of a space charge zone formed by the first and second semiconductor portions, and wherein upper faces of at least the first electrode and of the second electrode form a substantially planar continuous surface.
