Abstract

A method of manufacturing a green light-emitting gallium phosphide device which comprises the steps of preparing a liquid-phase epitaxial solution of one conductivity type containing a high concentration of nitrogen at a higher temperature than 1000.degree.C; bringing said epitaxial growth solution now cooled to 600.degree.C to 1000.degree.C into contact with a gallium phosphide substrate of the same conductivity type as said solution; cooling said epitaxial growth solution to form a liquid-phase epitaxial layer on said substrate; and forming a region in close proximity to said liquid-phase epitaxial layer with the opposite conductivity type thereto.
