Abstract

When compound semiconductor layers are formed on a compound semiconductor substrate ( 40 ) by sequentially layering group III nitride semiconductor crystalline layers by metal organic chemical vapor deposition method, the compound semiconductor substrate ( 40 ) is attached inside of a reaction container with the crystal growth surface thereof facing upward, a protection member ( 60 ) having plural grooves ( 63 ) formed in a radiating manner on the side facing the crystal growth surface is attached above the compound semiconductor substrate ( 40 ), and a material gas is supplied to the inside of the reaction container through a first through hole ( 61 ) provided in the center of the protection member ( 60 ). Thereby, in the manufacture of a compound semiconductor using metal organic chemical vapor deposition method, a decrease in yield caused by adhesion of peeled-off reaction byproducts to the substrate or to the epitaxially grown film on the substrate is suppressed.

Claims (25)

1. A compound semiconductor manufacturing device for forming layers of a compound semiconductor on a first side of a substrate by use of metal organic chemical vapor deposition method comprising:
