Abstract
In a method for making a compound semiconductor including a substrate and a compound semiconductor layer having a lattice mismatch ratio of 2% or more relative to the substrate, the method includes a first epitaxial growth step of forming a buffer layer on the substrate, the buffer layer having a predetermined distribution of lattice mismatch ratios in the thickness direction so as to reduce strain; and a second epitaxial growth step of forming the compound semiconductor layer on the buffer layer. The first epitaxial growth step is carried out by metal organic chemical vapor deposition at a deposition temperature of 600° C. or less.
