Abstract
In an epitaxial growth process for compound semiconductor crystals in a liquid phase, a substrate crystal is brought into contact with an etching solution containing as solute a predetermined amount of at least one constituent of the substrate crystal, which is smaller than that of a saturated solution, after heating them at a temperature for crystal growth. The substrate crystal is kept in contact with the solution during a period of time sufficient to remove a surface portion of the substrate crystal. Then the substrate crystal is brought into contact with a solution for crystal growth containing a substance to be grown as solute and a crystal of the substance is grown epitaxially on an exposed clean surface of the substrate crystal.
