THIN FILM TRANSISTOR HAVING CRYSTALLINE INDIUM OXIDE SEMICONDUCTOR FILM
First Claim
1. A thin film transistor having a crystalline indium oxide semiconductor film which is composed mainly of indium oxide and contains a positive trivalent metal oxide, having an atomic ratio of metal element M in the positive trivalent metal oxide to the total amount of indium In in the indium oxide plus the metal element M in the positive trivalent metal oxide M/(M+In) of 0.0001 to 0.1.
