Abstract

PURPOSE:To quickly cool a compound semiconductor substrate after a heat treatment by a method wherein the substrate is installed in a region on a flat face which has been formed by cutting a container along the tubular axis in the lengthwise direction. CONSTITUTION:A region, in a container 11, where a compound semiconductor substrate 12 is installed is constituted on a flat face which has been formed by cutting the container 11 along the tubular axis 13 in the lengthwise direction. Consequently, since an area where the substrate 12 comes into contact with the container 11 becomes large, the cooling time of the substrate 12 is shortened, a change in a carrier concentration at a cooling operation is reduced, and an irregularity in the carrier concentration inside a crystal plane and an irregularity in carriers between heattreatment lots are reduced. Thereby, the compound semiconductor substrate whose carrier concentration is not changed inside a substrate face and with reference to the heat-treatment lots can be obtained, and the substrate after a heat treatment can be cooled quickly.
