Abstract
A method for producing a semiconductor device includes the steps of: forming an impurity diffusion layer for controlling a threshold voltage by ion implantation; and conducting a high-temperature rapid heat treatment for recovering crystal defects generated by the ion implantation. More specifically, treatment conditions for the high-temperature rapid heat treatment are set in such a manner that interstitial atoms causing the crystal defects are diffused, and impurities in the impurity diffusion layer are not diffused. For example, the high-temperature rapid heat treatment is conducted in a temperature range of about 900° C. to about 1100° C.
