Selective crystal growth method of compound semiconductor

摘要

Disclosed herein is a selective metalorganic vapor phase growth method of a group III-V compound semiconductor containing at least Al and In, in which a ratio of an HCl gas supply amount to a supply amount of a group III metalorganic material ([HCl supply amount]/[group III supply amount]) is set in a range of 0.01-0.3. Hence, a polycrystal density is decreased to ensure a selectivity, and a grown crystal composition can be controlled so as not to be excessive in the Al composition so that composition control can be done easily.
