In the conventional vapor phase growth method for semi-insulating III-V compound semiconductor, once the surface of iron begins to be covered with the solid FeCl 2 produced, all the H supplied to the iron reaction chamber 33 is removed.
Cl cannot react with Fe, and a part of the cl is introduced into the reaction tube 37 in an unreacted state. As a result, there is a problem that the crystallinity is lowered when a semiconductor having a high reactivity with Hcl, for example, InP is grown.
