Abstract

A high resistance compound semiconductor layer included in a semiconductor device including a plurality of compound semiconductor layers having different compositions includes a compound semiconductor that is vapor phase grown employing an organic metal compound including In, an organic metal compound including Al, and a hydrogenated compound or an organic metal compound including As. The high resistance compound semiconductor layer includes p type impurities having a concentration that positions the Fermi level of the compound semiconductor approximately at the center of the band gap of the compound semiconductor. Therefore, it is possible to produce a high resistance AlInAs layer that has less impurities that are diffused into an adjacent compound semiconductor layer.
