- amorphous silicon semiconductor thin films can be formed at a relatively low temperature by using a vapor phase method, they are excellent in mass productivity and are most commonly used. However, amorphous silicon semiconductor thin films are inferior in physical properties such as conductivity. For this reason, the amorphous silicon semiconductor thin film is not suitable for the above-described devices and the like that require high performance of the semiconductor element.

- a moving mechanism 29 for moving the substrate holder 28 is provided in the ion doping apparatus, and the moving mechanism 2 is moved so that the ion beam 33 scans on the substrate 25. 9 may move the substrate 25.
- generated ion species is small, and the ion doping apparatus with high controllability is obtained.
- This ion doping apparatus is particularly suitably used for manufacturing large-area semiconductor devices such as display devices. Further, according to the present invention, it is possible to obtain a semiconductor device in which variations in element characteristics within a substrate are small.
- This semiconductor device is suitable for various uses, and is particularly suitable for a semiconductor device having a large area such as a display device.
