Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a thin film transistor whose channel layer or a part of the channel layer and further electrodes such as a source electrode, a drain electrode and a gate electrode are formed of an indium-containing metal oxide film. Background technique
[0002] So far, amorphous silicon (a-Si) has been frequently used in thin film transistors, and therefore, high-temperature processing and expensive film-forming equipment are required. In addition, the need for high-temperature processing makes it difficult to manufacture devices (elements) onto a polymer substrate or the like.
[0003] Therefore, in order to fabricate electronic devices on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) at low cost, it is necessary to develop a simple low-temperature process that does not require complicated equipment, or one or more of them that can obtain sufficient characteristics through simple processes. Various materials, effective ...
