Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of semiconductor materials and devices, in particular to an oxide semiconductor thin film and a thin film transistor using the oxide semiconductor thin film as a channel layer material. Background technique [0002] In recent years, thin film transistors (TFT, Thin Film Transistor) based on oxide semiconductors have received more and more attention in the field of flat panel displays, especially in the field of organic electroluminescent displays (OLEDs). [0003] At present, the material of the semiconductor channel layer of the thin film transistor used for flat panel display is mainly silicon material, including amorphous silicon (a-Si: H), polycrystalline silicon, microcrystalline silicon and the like. However, amorphous silicon thin film transistors are sensitive to light and have low mobility (<1cm 2 / Vs) and poor stability; although polysilicon thin film transistors have high mobility, their electrical unif...
