Abstract

A region containing a high concentration of impurity and a desired region adjacent thereto are fused by irradiation with a laser beam, to diffuse the impurity in the lateral direction into the desired region and to render the desired region a low resistance. Since this method can execute only the lateral diffusion of the impurity without affecting other portions, it is very useful for forming a high breakdown voltage MIS-FET, a resistor etc.
