摘要:
A semiconductor wafer is set in a laser irradiation apparatus, and laser beam irradiation is performed while the semiconductor wafer is moved. At this time, a laser beam emitted from a laser generating apparatus is condensed by a condensing lens so that the condensing point (focal point) is positioned at a depth of several tens ofμm or so from one surface of the semiconductor wafer. Thereby, the crystal structure of the semiconductor wafer in the position having such a depth is modified, and a gettering sink is formed.
