Abstract
A technology for reducing contact resistance between a semiconductor substrate and an electrode is provided. A provided method for manufacturing a semiconductor device includes: forming an oxide film 62 on a surface 12b of a semiconductor substrate 12 by bringing the surface 12b into contact with ammonia-hydrogen peroxide water mixture; forming a groove 60 on the surface 12b by irradiating light to heat the surface 12b covered with the oxide film 62; removing the oxide film 62 to expose the surface 12b; and forming an electrode 16 on the exposed surface 12b.
