Section: claims

1. A method of implanting ions into a substrate while changing a relative positional relation between an ion beam and the substrate, wherein a first ion implantation process in which a uniform dose amount distribution is formed within the substrate and a second ion implantation process in which a non-uniform dose amount distribution is formed within the substrate are performed in a predetermined order, and a cross-sectional size of an ion beam that is irradiated on the substrate during the second ion implantation process is set smaller than a cross-sectional size of an ion beam that is irradiated on the substrate during the first ion implantation process. 2. The method of implanting the ions according to claim 1, wherein, when processing a plurality of substrates using the first and second ion implantation processes, one of the ion implantation processes is successively performed on the substrates, and thereafter, the other ion implantation process is successively performed on the substrates.
