A method of treating the surface of a substrate using an extra-low-speed ion beam. The method involves forming a cluster, which is a lump-shaped group of atoms or molecules of a gaseous substance at the ambient temperature, by adiabatic expansion form a high pressure region into a high-vacuum region thorough a small-bore conical nozzle, pouring electrons onto the cluster, accelerating the thus generated cluster ions by acceleration voltage, and irradiating the ions onto the surface of a solid. The method permits surface cleaning of a substrate without causing damage or defects, ion injection into the very shallow surface layer portion, and CVD.
