ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor film is formed on a GaAs substrate (semiconductor substrate). An SiO2film (insulating film) is formed on the semiconductor film, and the SiO2film is patterned. The semiconductor film is etched using the SiO2film as a mask to form a mesa structure. The surface of the SiO2film is treated by ashing, using SF6gas (fluorine-containing gas), to terminate the surface of the SiO2film with fluorine. The mesa structure is selectively buried with a III-V compound semiconductor film, using the SiO2film having the surface that has been terminated by fluorine, as a mask.
