Abstract: Disclosed is a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device comprising implanting ions of an impurity element into a semiconductor region, implanting, into the semiconductor region, ions of a predetermined element which is a group IV element or an element having the same conductivity type as the impurity element and larger in mass number than the impurity element, and irradiating a region into which the impurity element and the predetermined element are implanted with light to anneal the region, the light having an emission intensity distribution, a maximum point of the distribution existing in a wavelength region of not more than 600 nm.
