Abstract
Abstract The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device. In order to controllably introduce impurities into the side wall of a trench 2a by ion implantation impurity ions are directed at a predetermined angle into the side wall of the trench 2a provided in a wafer 2a and, for implantation thereof, at the same time, the wafer 2 is rotated around an ion implantation axis at a rotational speed related to the ion implantation current.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
186 words
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device having portions at which impurity ions are implanted, comprising the steps of: forming a trench of a predetermined depth and width in a substrate surface of a wafer, for forming an impurity ion implantation region therein at a surface of a side wall of the trench; forming an ion implantation mask of a predetermined thickness on said substrate surface of said wafer except for said trench; mounting said wafer for rotation thereof about a rotation axis, such that an acute angle (90-θ), where θ is within the range 45° to 90°, formed between side wall surface of said trench and a direction of impurity ion implantation is determined according to the relationship tan (90-θ) (said width of said trench)/(sum of said ion implantation mask thickness+said depth of said trench); forming said thin ion implantation region, by rotating said mounted wafer about said rotation axis at an angular velocity depending on an implantation current of said impurity ions and implanting the impurity ions to said inner surface of said side wall of said trench while said wafer is being rotated.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
186 words

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
39 words
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device in accordance with claim 1, wherein: the wafer is mounted to be inclined with respect to said rotation axis at an angle greater than the acute angle (90-θ) by a predetermined amount.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
19 words
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device in accordance with claim 2, wherein: said predetermined amount is approximately 7°.
