Abstract
A semiconductor device is manufactured by implanting impurity ions in one surface of a semiconductor substrate made of silicon carbide; irradiating a region of the semiconductor substrate implanted with the impurity ions with laser light of a wavelength in the ultraviolet region; and forming, on a surface of a high-concentration impurity layer formed by irradiating with the laser light, an electrode made of metal in ohmic contact with the high-concentration impurity layer. When irradiating with the laser light, a first concentration peak of the impurity ions that exceeds a solubility limit concentration of the impurity ions in silicon carbide is formed in a surface region near the one surface of the semiconductor substrate within the high-concentration impurity layer.
