Abstract

A process for epitaxial growth which effects epitaxial growth while suppressing thermal deformation of surface corrugations of an InGaAsP/InP system semiconductor substrate. Deformation of surface corrugations is suppressed by disposing a GaAs.sub.1-z P.sub.z (0.1.ltoreq.z.ltoreq.0.8) wafer over and in close contact with the surface of the semiconductor substrate until immediately before a start of the epitaxial growth process.
