ABSTRACT:
A heterogeneous semiconductor structure with a composition gradient is used to produce lasers, spectrometers and pressure gauges and comprises a substrate, a transition layer and a main layer in the form of a doped solid solution of AB.sub.x C.sub.1-x having a composition gradient with a constant direction parallel to the main axis of the substrate's surface. The transition layer 2 is also of a doped solid solution of AB.sub.x C.sub.1-x whose composition continuously changes along the main axis, from the portion with a maximum content of the AB component to the portion corresponding to a maximum content of the AC component in the direction perpendicular to the substrate's surface, and from the composition of the main layer 3 on the boundary with the transition layer 2 to the composition having a maximum content of the AB component on the boundary with the substrate. The semiconductor structure with a composition gradient is produced of material transferred through the gaseous phase onto the substrate from a source comprising the two AB and AC components and including a number of parallel strips, each of said strips having a constant ratio between the AB and AC components. At first, the source is gradually brought under the substrate at a speed chosen within the range of 100 cm per hour to 0.1 cm per hour, bringing first the strip of the source, which has a maximum content of the AB component. After all the strips have been brought under the substrate, the source is stopped for the period of time required for the formation of the main layer to a required thickness.
