Abstract
Abstract An ion implantation method comprising doping a trench sidewall formed in the surface of a semiconductor substrate, with impurities by intermittently rotating step ion implantation carried out in the state that said sidewall is angled with respect to an ion beam, wherein; the amount of ion implantation to said sidewall is made uniform by varying the scanning velocity of the ion beam on the surface of said semiconductor substrate, at the position near to, and the position distant from, the upstream side of the beam applied to a position at which said surface of semiconductor substrate is inclined with respect to the beam. Also disclosed is a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device making use of such an ion implantation method.
