Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present application discloses a doped metal oxide semiconductor which is an indium tin oxide or indium tin zinc oxide semiconductor doped with a rare earth oxide. Even at a small doping amount, the oxygen vacancies could be suppressed as well as the mobility be maintained; critically, the thin-films made thereof can avoid the influence of light on I-V characteristics and stability, which results in great improvement of the stability under illumination of metal oxide semiconductor devices. The present application also discloses the thin-film transistors made thereof the doped metal oxide semiconductor and its application.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A doped metal oxide semiconductor, characterized in that the doped metal oxide semiconductor is a rare-earth oxide doped metal oxide; in which the metal oxide is indium tin oxide having an In:Sn molar ratio of 2:1 to 5:1 or indium tin zinc oxide having molar ratios of In, Sn, and Zn in ranges of: 0.2≤In/(In+Sn+Zn)≤0.8, 0.2≤Sn/(In+Sn+Zn)≤0.4, 0<Zn/(In+Sn+Zn)≤0.5; the rare-earth oxide comprises ytterbium oxide; an uniform doping molar ratios of ytterbium to the indium and tin or indium and tin and zinc of the metal oxide is in a range from 0.1:1 to 0.4:1; there are recombination centers for photo-induced carriers generated in the doped metal oxide semiconductor. 2. The doped metal oxide semiconductor of claim 1 , wherein the doping molar ratio of ytterbium to the indium and tin or indium and tin and zinc of the metal oxide is in a range from 0.20:1 to 0.40:1.
