Abstract

An information recording method is provided, in which a p- or n-type semiconductor wafer is irradiated with an energetic particle beam such as an electron beam thereby to control, e.g., decreased or increased generation of the surface photovoltage at the irradiated area so that information may be recorded on the wafer.
