Abstract

In a semiconductor crystal growth apparatus, a substrate is heated in a growth vessel evacuated to a ultrahigh vacuum, and gas containing component elements of a semiconductor which should grow on the substrate are introduced into the growth vessel from external gas sources. Radiation having a specific wavelength is directed from an external irradiation source toward and onto the substrate.
