Abstract

Abstract A process for selective formation of a III-V group compound film comprises applying a compound film forming treatment, in a gas phase including a starting material for supplying the group III atoms of Periodic Table and a starting material for supplying the group V atoms of Periodic Table, on a substrate having a non-­nucleation surface (S NDS ) with small nucleation density and a nucleation surface (S NDL ) with a larger nucleation density (ND L ) than the nucleation density (ND S ) of said non-nucleation surface (S NDS ) and a large area sufficient for a number of nuclei to be formed, and forming selectlvely a III-V group compound film only on said nucleation surface (S NDL ).
