Abstract

A thin-film device includes a first electrical insulator, an oxide-semiconductor film formed on the first electrical insulator, and a second electrical insulator formed on the oxide-semiconductor film, the oxide-semiconductor film defining an active layer. The oxide-semiconductor film is comprised of a first interface layer located at an interface with the first electrical insulating insulator, a second interface layer located at an interface with the second electrical insulator, and a bulk layer other than the first and second interface layers. A density of oxygen holes in at least one of the first and second interlayer layers is smaller than a density of oxygen holes in the bulk layer.
