Abstract

The present invention discloses a metal oxide (MO) semiconductor, which is implemented by respectively doping at least an oxide of rare earth element R and an oxide of rare earth element R′ into an indium-containing MO semiconductor to form an InxMyRnR′mOz semiconductor. According to the present invention, the extremely high oxygen bond breaking energy in the oxide of rare earth element R is used to effectively control the carrier concentration in the semiconductor, and a charge transportation center can be formed by using the characteristic that the radius of rare earth ions is equivalent to the radius of indium ions, so that the electrical stability of the semiconductor is improved. The present invention further provides a thin-film transistor based on the MO semiconductor and application thereof.
