Nondestructive testing method for oxide semiconductor layer and method for making oxide semiconductor layer

摘要

A nondestructive testing method for an oxide semiconductor layer includes the steps of applying excitation light to an amorphous or polycrystalline target oxide semiconductor layer to be tested and measuring an intensity of photoluminescence in a wavelength region longer than a wavelength corresponding to a bandgap energy among light emitted from the target oxide semiconductor layer; and estimating a film property of the target oxide semiconductor layer on the basis of measurement results.
