Abstract

After a Group III-V compound semiconductor layer, to which a p-type dopant has been introduced, has been formed over a substrate, the compound semiconductor layer is annealed. In the stage of heating the compound semiconductor layer, atoms, deactivating the p-type dopant, are eliminated from the compound semiconductor layer by creating a temperature gradient in the compound semiconductor layer.
