Abstract

To provide a method for reducing a thickness of an interfacial layer, which contains: (a) forming a film of an oxide of a first metal on a semiconductor layer via an oxide film of a semiconducdor serving as an interfacial layer; and (b) forming a film of an oxide of a second metal on the film of the oxide of the first metal, where the second metal has higher valency than that of the first metal.
