Abstract:
1. A method of manufacturing a back side illuminated imaging device, the method comprising: forming a semiconductor detection device and a peripheral circuit device on a semiconductor substrate; bonding the semiconductor substrate onto a holding substrate via the semiconductor detection device and the peripheral circuit device; removing the semiconductor substrate from the holding substrate to transfer the semiconductor detection device and the peripheral circuit device onto the holding substrate; forming, after transferring the semiconductor detection device and the peripheral circuit device, an amorphous semiconductor layer in which impurities are introduced, on the semiconductor detection device transferred onto the holding substrate; and annealing the amorphous semiconductor layer by using a microwave, under a condition that activates the impurities in the amorphous semiconductor layer and crystallizes the amorphous semiconductor layer, to form an impurity semiconductor layer as an inversion layer for the semiconductor device.
