Abstract
Abstract The present invention includes a process of growing a compound semiconductor layer locally, after applying radical particles that do not become an etchant of a compound semiconductor layer to an insulating mask so as to terminate the surface of the insulating mask in a state that the compound semiconductor layer is covered with the insulating mask, on the surface of the compound semiconductor layer exposed from the insulating mask.
