This is a schematic cross-sectional view at 30 m, and will be explained below using the drawings. In this apparatus, a substrate 1 is attached to a substrate holder 3 in a chamber (reaction tube) 2, and heated to about 600 to 800° C. by a resistance heating method using a substrate heater 4. The inside of chamber 2 is ~10-'Torr as a pack ground.
In and P, which are the constituent elements of the compound semiconductor crystal to be grown by chemical vapor deposition, are respectively supplied as TMIn from the organometallic material inlet 5, and PH3 is supplied from the PH3 inlet 6. PH, may be heated to about 900° C. by the heater 2. Furthermore, as a carrier gas,
It supplies hydrogen containing hydrogen radicals. In this embodiment, a combination of a plasma source 8 and a mesh electrode 9 is used as a method of generating radicals. Introducing H2 gas into the plasma source 8, hydrogen ions (H+) and hydrogen radicals (H*)
generate. Next, hydrogen ions are removed by a mesh electrode 9 so that only hydrogen radicals reach the substrate 1.
