Abstract
A zinc selenide or zinc selenide-sulphide epitaxial crystal is grown at a growth temperature of about 180.degree.-320.degree. C. by organometallic chemical vapor deposition by using zinc alkyl and hydrogen selenide and/or hydrogen sulphide. An as-grown crystal presented an n conductivity type low resistivity and exhibited a narrow near-band gap emission peak. Besides a crystal of the same material as the epitaxial layer, crystals of group III-V, group IV, and so forth having the same or similar crystal structure as the epitaxial layer can be used as an underlayer for the growth.
