An epitaxial growth method forming a semiconductor thin film including a heterojunction of a group III-V compound semiconductor by means of molecular beam epitaxy. The method is configured to include: a first step of irradiating a molecular beam of at least one of group III elements and a molecular beam of a first group V element to form a first compound semiconductor layer; a second step of stopping the irradiation of the molecular beam of the group III element and the molecular beam of the first group V element to halt growth until an amount of the first group V element supplied is reduced to 1/10 or less of a supply of the first group V element in the first step; and a third step of irradiating a molecular beam of at least one of the group III elements and a molecular beam of a second group V element to form a second compound semiconductor layer, which is different from the first compound semiconductor, on the first compound semiconductor layer.

A method for making a flat substrate from incremental-width nanorods includes the steps of: providing a base layer, performing a lateral crystal growth process for a plurality of times, and forming a substrate. The base layer has a plurality of nanorods. Each time the lateral crystal growth process is performed, an additive reagent is added at a different concentration to enable lateral crystal growth and thereby increase the width of each nanorod incrementally. The incremental-width nanorods eventually bond with each other to form a substrate. The substrate may go through an annealing process so as to become a flat substrate.

A lateral growth method for defect reduction of semipolar nitride films. The process steps include selecting a semipolar nitride plane and composition, selecting a suitable substrate for growth of the semipolar nitride plane and composition, and applying a selective growth process in which the semipolar nitride nucleates on some areas of the substrate at the exclusion of other areas of the substrate, wherein the selective growth process includes lateral growth of nitride material by a lateral epitaxial overgrowth (LEO), sidewall lateral epitaxial overgrowth (SLEO), cantilever epitaxy or nanomasking.
