Abstract: A semiconductor substrate having a single crystal semiconductor layer of one conductivity type exposed to the surface thereof is maintained at a temperature lower than the temperature at which the semiconductors is precipitated from the gas phase. In this state, a gas of a starting material of a semiconductor, a gas containing impurities capable of forming a semiconductor of the other conductivity type and a carrier gas therefore are fed onto the semiconductor substrate. Then, the semiconductor substrate is heated to form an amorphous or polycrystalline semiconductor layer of the other conductivity type on the semiconductor substrate.
