Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An oxide semiconductor film includes indium (In), cerium (Ce), zinc (Zn) and oxygen (O) elements, and a molar ratio of the In, Ce, and Zn as In:Ce:Zn is in a range of 2:(0.5 to 2):1. A method for making a oxide semiconductor film includes a step of forming an oxide film on a substrate by using a sputtering method and a sputtering target comprising In 2 Ce x ZnO 4+2x , wherein x=0.5˜2.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An oxide semiconductor film comprises indium (In), cerium (Ce), zinc (Zn) and oxygen (O) elements, and a molar ratio of In, Ce, and Zn as In:Ce:Zn is in a range of 2:(0.5 to 2):1; wherein the oxide semiconductor film has a carrier density of about 10 12 cm −3 to about 10 20 cm −3 , and a carrier mobility of about 5.0 cm 2 V −1 s −1 to about 45.0 cm 2 V −1 s −1 . 2. The oxide semiconductor film of claim 1 being an n-type semiconductor…
