2. The vapor phase growth apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one process parameter is selected from concentration of the group-III element and the group-V element in process gas supplied to the n reactors, rotation speed of the substrates, temperature of the substrates, output of the heater, and internal pressure of the reactors.

3. The vapor phase growth apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the controller performs control such that an operation of starting the first process gas supply, an operation of shutting off the first process gas supply, an operation of starting second process gas supply, and an operation of shutting off of the second process gas supply are performed in the n reactors at the same time.

4. The vapor phase growth apparatus according to claim 2 , further comprising: n diluent gas supply lines supplying a diluent gas to the n reactors, wherein the controller controls amount of diluent gas supplied, on the basis of control values of the concentration of the group-Ill element and the group-V element, which are independently set for the n reactors.
