[0062] In some embodiments, the proportion of metal atoms of the electrical property regulating element in the first sublayer 114 is greater than or equal to 0.1% and less than or equal to 10%; for example, the proportion of metal atoms of the electrical property regulating element in the first sublayer 114 can be 0.1%, 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9% or 10%.

[0063] It can be understood that the above-mentioned metal atomic ratio refers to the atomic ratio of the electrical property adjustment element in the total metal atoms in the first sub-layer 114 .

[0064] In some embodiments, the carrier concentration of the first sublayer 114 is greater than or equal to 1E14 cm -3 , and less than or equal to 5E19cm -3 It can be understood that when the carrier concentration of the film layer is too high, for example, the carrier concentration of the film layer is 1E20cm -3 To 1E21cm -3 When the film layer is within the range of , the film layer has conductor characteristics. In the embodiment of the present application, the electrical property regulating element in the metal oxide conductive material with a high carrier concentration can reduce the carrier concentration, thereby realizing the semiconductorization of the conductor material.

[0067] In some embodiments, the Hall mobility of the first sub-layer 114 is greater than or equal to 30 cm 2 / Vs, and less than or equal to 70cm 2 / Vs; It is understandable that when the Hall mobility of the film layer is too high, for example, the Hall mobility of the film layer is greater than 100cm 2 / (V·s), the film layer has conductor characteristics. The Hall mobility of the first semiconductor layer 3 provided in the embodiment of the present application is 30cm 2 / Vs to 70cm 2 / Vs, indicating that the first semiconductor layer 3 has semiconductor characteristics.

[0068] That is, the embodiment of the present application can form a semiconductor material with a large carrier concentration and a high mobility by doping the electrical property adjustment element into the metal oxide conductive material, so as to realize the active layer 11 with high mobility.

It should be noted that at this time, at least one side of the active layer 11 is the second sublayer 115, and the second sublayer 115 is made of metal oxide semiconductor material, so that the second sublayer 115 in the active layer 11 is in contact with other film layers, which is beneficial to reducing the defects of the contact interface between the active layer 11 and the adjacent film layers, thereby improving the stability of the semiconductor device 10 and avoiding the negative bias of the threshold voltage Vth of the semiconductor device 10, thereby further improving the performance and reliability of the semiconductor device 10; on the other hand, by adding the second sublayer 115 to the active layer 11, it is beneficial to reduce the thickness of the first sublayer 114, thereby helping to reduce the overall thickness of the active layer 11 with high mobility, and thus helping to avoid the negative bias of the threshold voltage Vth caused by the excessive thickness of the active layer 11, thereby improving the stability of the semiconductor device 10.

[0082] Also, please refer to Figure 1 as well as Figure 5 The embodiment of the present application further provides an array substrate 400, and the array substrate 400 includes the semiconductor device 10 described in the above embodiment.
