Abstract
In a method for producing a compound semiconductor device such as laser devices, FET and HEMT, a crystal layer is formed with materials belonging to at least two (first and second) different groups of the periodic law table under a crystal growth condition under which a value equal to the number of arrival molecules of the material of the first group having a higher vapor pressure divided by the number of arrival molecules of the material of the second group having a lower vapor pressure is equal to or less than 2.5. More preferably, this value is equal to or less than 2.0. More concretely, the crystal layer is made of V/III group elements, for example, As of group V and at least Ga of group III. Under such condition, the crystal layer can be grown with a high quality at relatively low substrate temperatures lower than 500.degree. C.
