Abstract

An oxide semiconductor film includes indium (In), cerium (Ce), zinc (Zn), doping metal element (M) and oxygen (O) elements, and a molar ratio of the In, Ce, and Zn as In:Ce:Zn is in a range of 2:(0.5 to 2):1. A method for making a oxide semiconductor film includes a step of forming an oxide film on a substrate by using a sputtering method and a sputtering target comprising In2CexZnO4+2x, wherein x=0.5˜2.
