Abstract:
A film of a II - VI group compound semiconductor of at least one of elements belonging to the II group of the periodic table and at least one of elements belonging to the VI group of the periodic table is deposited on a substrate. When the film is deposited on the substrate, a plasma of nitrogen in an excited state is applied to the substrate while removing charged particles from said plasma by a charged particle removing means. The deposited film of a nitrogen-doped II - VI group compound semiconductor has an increased percentage of activated nitrogen atoms and improved crystallinity.

Abstract:
An epitaxial growth method of semiconductor can reliably avoid irregularities from being produced when a II-VI compound semiconductor is grown epitaxially. When this method is applied to a method of manufacturing a semiconductor light-emitting device, it is possible to obtain a semiconductor light-emitting device having a long life and excellent light-emitting characteristic. When a II-VI compound semiconductor is grown epitaxially, a VI/II ratio, i.e., a supplying ratio of VI-group element and II-group element used in the epitaxial growth is selected in a range of from 1.3 to 2.5
