ABSTRACT:
An amorphous layer101is formed in a region from a surface of a silicon substrate100to a first depth A. At this time, defects103are generated near an amorphous-crystal interface102.By heat treatment, the crystal structure of the amorphous layer101is restored in a region from the first depth A to a second depth B that is shallower than the first depth A. The resultant amorphous layer101extends from the surface of the silicon substrate100to the second depth B. The defects103remain at the first depth A. By ion implantation, a pn junction104is formed at a third depth C that is shallower than the second depth B.
