On an Si substrate 1, a buffer layer 2, a SiGe layer 3, and an Si cap layer 4 are formed. A mask is formed on the substrate, and then the substrate is patterned. In this manner, a trench 7a is formed so as to reach the Si substrate 1 and have the side faces of the SiGe layer 3 exposed. Then, the surface of the trench 7a is subjected to heat treatment for one hour at 750° C. so that Ge contained in a surface portion of the SiGe layer 3 is evaporated. Thus, a Ge evaporated portion 8 having a lower Ge content than that of other part of the SiGe layer 3 is formed in part of the SiGe layer 3 exposed at part of the trench 7a. Thereafter, the walls of the trench 7a are oxidized.
