PURPOSE: To enhance the reliability and the yield by a method wherein a semiconductor substrate is ion-implanted with tetravalent atoms simultaneously with ion implantation with P-type impurity or before or after the ion implantation to be annealed after ion implantation with P-type impurity and tetravalent atoms.
CONSTITUTION: After removing a silicon nitride film 6 and a silicon oxide film 5 in a base contact groove part, another silicon oxide film 8 and a non- doped polysilicon 7 on an emitter formation region are removed. Then, the surface is ion-implanted with Si atoms or Ge atoms. Thus, the graft base formation region immediately below the base groove is made amorphous. Next, B atoms are ion-implanted with low accelerating energy in the emitter formation region whereto any remaining silicon nitride film 6 and the silicon oxide film 5 are exposed to be annealed later. Through these procedures, graft bases 10 are formed.
