Abstract
This invention concerns a method for epitaxial growth by the use of a so-called heterogeneous reaction and includes disposing a source material in a first area of a horizontal chamber, disposing a growth substrate in a second area thereof, heating the first area thereby keeping the source material at a first temperature, heating the second area thereby keeping the growth substrate at a second temperature, lower than the first temperature, introducing a reaction gas into the chamber thereby causing the reaction gas to react with the source material and depositing the resultant reaction product on the growth substrate and consequently obtaining formation of a film by epitaxial growth.
