Abstract

A subject of the present invention is to realize an impurity doping not to bring about a rise of a substrate temperature.Another subject of the present invention is to measure optically physical properties of a lattice defect generated by the impurity doping step to control such that subsequent steps are optimized.An impurity doping method, includes a step of doping an impurity into a surface of a solid state base body, a step of measuring an optical characteristic of an area into which the impurity is doped, a step of selecting annealing conditions based on a measurement result to meet the optical characteristic of the area into which the impurity is doped, and a step of annealing the area into which the impurity is doped, based on the selected annealing conditions.
