Abstract
An Si-doped AlInAs layer and an intrinsic AlInAs layer are successively grown on a semi-insulating InP substrate in a molecular beam epitaxy chamber. The sample is then heat-treated in a nitrogen ambient at 400.degree. C. for 18 minutes so that electrical characteristics of the sample are deteriorated because of the infiltration of fluorine into the Si-doped AlInAs layer. The sample is then placed in the molecular beam epitaxy chamber and reheat-treated in an ultra-high vacuum at 400.degree. C. for seven minutes and the fluorine is removed.
