Abstract
An apparatus for growing a mixed compound semiconductor layer utilizing three or more source gases. The apparatus includes a horizontal type reactor chamber. The reactor chamber includes a partition plate separating an upstream region of the reactor chamber into an upper region and a lower region. The upper and lower regions are joined together forming a growth region in a downstream region of the reactor chamber. First and second inlet ports are provided at an upstream end of the lower region for admitting first and second source gases, respectively. A third inlet port is provided at an upstream end of the upper region for admitting a third source gas. An outlet port is provided at a downstream end of the growth region for exhaust. A substrate stage is arranged in the growth region so that the substrate surface is exposed to the growth region and forms a smooth surface for allowing a laminar gas flow.
