By using an ion implantation method, an operation layer can be formed with good reproducibility by simple steps. However, the channel thickness and the carrier concentration are limited by the ordinary method, and it is difficult to obtain a sufficiently high-concentration thin film channel. However, by exposing the InP substrate suitable time during SF 6 plasma, S decomposed from SF 6 is adsorbed on the InP substrate surface. This is further heat-treated for an appropriate time so that S
Is activated and acts as an N-type dopant,
A conductive layer having a thickness of about 200 ° is formed. This conductive layer has a high sheet carrier concentration of about 1 × 10 13 cm −2 .
