Abstract
A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device constituting an JGHT is provided that allows to manufacture the device using an inexpensive wafer and with high yields, and achieves low losses. Specifically, after an emitter electrode is formed, a reverse principal surface is polished to a specified thickness. The center line average height Ra of the polished surface is controlled to be not more than 1 &mgr;m, and the filtered center line waviness Wca is kept within 10 &mgr;m. The polished surface is selectively cleaned with an aqueous chemical solution to remove particles. To the cleaned surface, phosphorus ions arc implanted for forming a field-stop layer and boron ions are implanted for forming a collector layer. The wafer is then put into a diffusion furnace and annealed at a temperature from 300° C. to 550° C. to form a field-stop layer and a collector layer. Finally, a collector electrode is formed.
