Abstract

A surface portion of a p type base region is made amorphous as an amorphous layer by implanting nitrogen ions which serve as impurities and ions which do not serve as impurities. After that, the amorphous layer is crystallized to have a specific crystal structure through solid-phase growth while disposing the impurities at lattice positions of the crystal structure. As a result, a surface channel layer is formed with a high activation rate of the impurities.
