1. An apparatus for molecular beam epitaxy comprising means to introduce a substrate into said apparatus with a substrate surface for epitaxial growth facing in a gravitational direction, processing chamber means to perform processes necessary for the epitaxial growth of the substrate surface by a molecular beam in ultrahigh vacuum, means capable of conveying the introduced substrate into said processing chamber means in the state in which the substrate surface is maintained in the gravitational direction, and means capable of transferring the introduced substrate to the conveyance means and transferring it between said conveyance means and said processing chamber means in the state in which the substrate surface is maintained in the gravitational direction, a thin film crystal being grown on the substrate surface by the molecular beam epitaxy, and means for rearranging the substrate surface of the substrate conveyed into said processing chamber means in a substantially vertical direction and setting the substrate surface toward an irradiation position of the molecular beam.
