摘要:
In a method of selectively growing a crystal of a compound semiconductor layer which is composed of gallium and arsenic, a selective growth is selectively carried out on a substrate by using a combination of metallic gallium and a reactive gas, such as trisdimethylminoarsine, which includes a metallic compound of arsenic specified by at least one amine. The combination may includes organometallic gallium, such as trimethylgallium, triethylgallium instead of the metallic gallium. Such a combination serves to selectively deposit the compound semiconductor layer only on an exposed portion uncovered with a mask. Any other compound semiconductor layer may be selectively deposited on the exposed portion. The exposed portion may be composed of GaAs, AlGaAs, or InGaAs.
摘要:
On a surface of a p-type GaAs (111)B substrate 11, a mesa groove is formed along a [211]A direction. TDMAAs as a group V material and TMGa as a group III material are supplied at 8.times.10.sup.-3 Pa and 8.times.10.sup.-4 Pa, respectively, to grow n-type GaAs 13 dominantly on a side surface of a mesa 12. Subsequently, the group V material is changed to metal As. As.sub.4 and MAGa are supplied at 5.times.10.sup.-3 Pa and 8.times.10.sup.-4 Pa, respectively, to grow p-type GaAs 14 only on a side surface of the GaAs 13. Then, the group V material is again changed to TDMAAs. TDMAAs and TMGa are supplied both at 8.times.10.sup.-4 Pa to grow p-type GaAs 15.
