Abstract

A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device includes irradiating light to an effective region of a semiconductor substrate. A wavelength of the light is a wavelength adapted so that light absorptance of the semiconductor substrate increases if an intensity of the light increases. The light is irradiated so that a focus point of the light is made within the semiconductor substrate in the irradiating.
