Abstract: According to one embodiment, a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes a polishing step, a first amorphous silicon film formation step, a single crystallization step and a buffer layer formation step. In the first amorphous silicon film formation step, a first amorphous silicon film of the first conductivity type is formed on the polished back surface of the high-resistance layer, the first amorphous silicon film having a higher impurity concentration than the high-resistance layer. In the single crystallization step, the first amorphous silicon film is single-crystallized by irradiating the first amorphous silicon film with a first laser. In the buffer layer formation step, the formation and single-crystallization of the first amorphous silicon film are repeated more than once to form a buffer layer of the first conductivity type on the back surface of the high-resistance layer, the buffer layer having a higher impurity concentration than the high-resistance layer.
