Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention aims at providing a method for forming a metal oxide film which can further improve the production efficiency while maintaining low resistance of a metal oxide film formed thereby. In the method for forming a metal oxide film of the present invention, a solution ( 4 ) containing a metallic element and ammonia ( 4 a ) is formed into a mist. Meanwhile, a substrate ( 2 ) is heated. Then, the solution ( 4 ) formed into a mist is supplied onto a first main surface of the substrate ( 2 ) being heated.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for forming a metal oxide film, the method comprising: (A) forming a solution comprising a metallic element and ammonia into a mist; (B) heating a substrate, wherein the heating temperature is maintained at 300° C. or less; and (C) supplying the mist from (A) onto a first main surface of the substrate from (B) to form a metal oxide film, wherein the metal oxide film is a n-type semiconductor. 2. The method of claim…
