Abstract

In a method for producing a semiconductor device, a compound semiconductor cap layer including no aluminum is grown on a compound semiconductor layer including aluminum, a mask pattern insulating film is formed on a part of the compound semiconductor cap layer, the compound semiconductor wafer with the insulating mask pattern is immersed in an ammonium sulfide solution, the compound semiconductor wafer is selectively etched away using a chlorine containing gas in a reaction chamber, and a groove formed in the etching process is filled with a compound semiconductor layer grown in the reaction chamber by MOCVD. Therefore, a regrowth interface on which no impurity is segregated is attained, improving the quality of the regrown crystal layer.
