Abstract
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.
