Abstract

Provided is a method of forming a compound semiconductor device. In the method, a dopant element layer is formed on an undoped compound semiconductor layer. An annealing process is performed to diffuse dopants in the dopant element layer into the undoped compound semiconductor layer, thereby forming a dopant diffusion region. A rapid cooling process is performed using liquid nitrogen with respect to the substrate having the dopant diffusion region.
