Abstract
An apparatus for growing a compound semiconductor on a substrate by molecular beam epitaxy, includes a growth chamber, and Knudsen cells, disposed in the growth chamber, for generating molecular beams of source materials for the compound semiconductor independently. An ion gauge is disposed in the growth chamber, for measuring intensities of the molecular beams. A heater disposed in the growth chamber heats the substrate to a growth temperature of the compound semiconductor. A heating element heats the heater and the ion gauge to evaporate contamination materials including the source materials deposited on said substrate heating means and said measuring means after the growth of the compound semiconductor. An evacuater is provided to evacuate the growth chamber to a vacuum.
