Abstract

See full text

A method for forming an impurity layer, includes forming a resist material 16 on a surface portion of a semiconductor substrate 15; exposing the resist material using a grating mask 10 comprising a light transmission region 11 including a plurality of unit light transmission regions 14 being arranged two-dimensionally, each being composed of a plurality of minute partial sections 13A to 13D having different transmittance; forming a resist layer 18 on the surface of the semiconductor substrate 15 by developing the exposed resist material, the resist layer including a thin film region 17 having a film thickness corresponding to the transmittance of the light transmission region; implanting ions to the semiconductor substrate 15 via the thin film region; and diffusing ion groups 21A′, 21B′, 21C′, and 21D′ that are implanted at the same depth such that the ion groups are coupled in a lateral direction.
