Problems solved by technology

[0008] However, when forming thin films with different electrical conductivities using the conventional forming method, it is necessary to prepare multiple substances (ZnO and substances with different electrical conductivity from ZnO), or to prepare a plurality of ZnO targets with different impurity contents, so the material cost is increased. The problem of increasing the cost of electronic equipment such as increasing or increasing the number of manufacturing processes

Abstract

A method for forming a ZnO semiconductor layer, forming a ZnO buffer layer with a conductivity lower than 1×10-9S / cm on a substrate, or forming a diffraction peak of a crystal plane obtained by an X-ray diffraction method with the exception of (002) and (004), and then form a ZnO semiconductor layer on the ZnO buffer layer. The ZnO semiconductor layer is formed under the condition that the oxygen flow rate in the sputtering gas is smaller than that when the ZnO buffer layer is formed. The invention also provides a method for forming a ZnO film, a method for manufacturing a semiconductor element, and a semiconductor element.
