Abstract
A semiconductor layer different in material from a semiconductor substrate formed on at least one part of the surface of the substrate is partially removed in accordance with a planar configuration forming technique employing irradiation of a radiation such as light, electron beam or X-rays to form a residual layer and ion beams are applied to the upper surface or the substrate at an incidence angle less than 90 degrees so that a non-etching region is formed at the region of the substrate other than the region around and beneath said residual layer according to mutual relationships between the configuration of the residual layer and the incidence angle of the ion beams.
Claims4
A method of manufacturing a planar type semiconductor device having a monocrystalline semiconductor substrate of one conductivity type and having at least one intermediate region different in properties from side regions on both sides thereof, comprising the steps of:
- (a) forming a base, said base forming step including at least the forming of an oxide layer on one surface of said substrate;
- (b) forming a resist layer on said base, said resist layer having a thickness t;
- (c) selectively removing said resist layer to form a desired pattern including at least a pair of pattern portions spaced apart by a distance L substantially corresponding to the width of said intermediate region to form a window;
- (d) introducing impurities of the other conductivity into said side regions of said substrate by irradiating said substrate with impurity ion beams obliquely at an angle equal to or less than tan.sup.-1 (t/L) with respect to said substrate surface;
- (e) removing said oxide layer on said side regions by irradiating said substrate with etching ion beams at the same angle as in step (d) to form contact holes on said side regions;
- (f) depositing ohmic electrode material over said substrate surface;
- (g) removing said resist pattern portions;
- and
- (h) said method further comprising the step of irradiating said substrate with vertical impurity ion beams of the other conductivity type.
