Abstract

An SiO.sub.2 film doped with an impurity is formed on at least one portion of a surface of a semiconductor wafer. The wafer is selectively etched after a protective film for selective etching is disposed into a predetermined pattern on the SiO.sub.2 film. The impurity included in the SiO.sub.2 film can be diffused into the wafer to form a PN junction in the latter. Then the wafer is selectively etched until that surface of the wafer to which the PN junction is exposed is bevelled.
