Abstract

A method of forming a second semiconductor layer on a first semiconductor layer by vapor growth is disclosed. The two semiconductor layers are of the same conduction type but have different impurity concentrations. In the forming process, a doping gas is supplied before the vapor growth of the second semiconductor layer is started whereby a steep impurity distribution is established in the vapor-growth boundary.
