In order to grow a GaAs1-xPx fixed-composition layer of excellent quality, which has a predetermined composition x, over a GaAs or GaP single crystal substrate, a varied-composition layer is formed between the substrate and the fixed-composition layer. The varied-composition layer comprises at least two varied-composition layer portions and at least one fixed-composition layer portion with a predetermined thickness that is formed between the varied-composition layer portions, whereby dislocations caused by lattice mismatch with the GaP substrate are settled in the varied-composition layer portions and recovered in the fixed-composition layer portion between the varied-composition layer portions, thereby minimizing the dislocations, and thus making it possible to obtain a GaAs1-xPx layer of excellent crystal quality, which has a predetermined composition x.
