Abstract

A method of selective epitaxial growth performed by sequentially and repeatedly introducing a source gas, an etching gas, and a reducing gas in the reaction chamber, wherein controlled epitaxial layer doping may be obtained by introducing a dopant source gas during introducing any one of the source gas, an etching gas, and a reducing gas, and thereby producing a smooth and uniform epitaxial layer on a predetermined region of a semiconductor substrate.
