A plasma doping method that can control a dose precisely is realized.
In-plane uniformity of the dose is improved.It has been found that, if a
bias is applied by irradiating B.sub.2H.sub.6/He plasma onto a silicon
substrate, there is a time at which a dose of boron is made substantially
uniform, and the saturation time is comparatively long and ease to stably
use, compared with a time at which repeatability of an apparatus control
can be secured. The invention has been finalized focusing on the result.
That is, if plasma irradiation starts, a dose is initially increased, but
a time at which the dose is made substantially uniform without depending
on a time variation is continued. In addition, if the time is further
increased, the dose is decreased. The dose can be accurately controlled
through a process window of the time at which the dose is made
substantially uniform without depending on the time variation.
