Abstract

A semiconductor device is fabricated by introducing an impurity element into a Si substrate by an ion implantation process with an energy set such that the depth of a junction formed in the Si substrate by the impurity element is less than about 50 nm, and then annealing the substrate, wherein the method further includes a step of removing an oxide film from a surface of the Si substrate before the step of ion implantation process.
