Abstract

The invention provides a method for forming a thin film uniform in resistivity distribution on a semiconductor substrate. The temperature of the inside wall (6) of the reaction vessel (2) of vapor phase growth equipment is controlled to below the thermal decomposition temperature of a dopant gas such as diborane, for example, to within a range of room temperature to 250.degree. C. The region of this temperature range is defined so as to range from the upstream-side end of the semiconductor substrate (1) to at least an upstream-side 1/3 point of the substrate diameter along the direction of flow of the dopant gas supplied from one end of the reaction vessel (2), desirably, over the entire region just above the semiconductor substrate (1).
