Abstract

To provide a method for producing a thin film transistor improved in stability, uniformity, reproducibility, heat resistance, durability or the like, a thin film transistor, a thin film transistor substrate, an image display apparatus, an image display apparatus and a semiconductor device.In the semiconductor device, a crystalline oxide is used as an N-type transistor and the electron carrier concentration of the crystalline oxide is less than 2×1017/cm3. Furthermore, the crystalline oxide is a polycrystalline oxide containing In and one or more positive divalent elements selected from Zn, Mg, Cu, Ni, Co and Ca, and the atomic ratio In [In] and the positive divalent element [X][X]/([X]+[In]) is 0.0001 to 0.13.
