Abstract

A structure having high, middle, and low impurity concentration regions disposed from a surface side of a substrate is more suitably manufactured. A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes: a first implantation of first conductivity type impurities into a first conductivity type semiconductor substrate from a surface; melting and solidifying a first semiconductor region between a depth and the surface, wherein the depth is deeper than a depth having a peak impurity concentration in an increased region where the impurity concentration was increased in the first implantation, and shallower than a deeper end of the increased region; a second implantation of the impurities from the surface into a region shallower than the depth; and melting and solidifying a region in which the impurity concentration was increased in the second implantation.
