  • Patent number: 8970106
    Abstract: According to one aspect of the present invention, a laminated structure of conductive transparent oxide layers containing silicon or silicon oxide is applied as an electrode on the side of injecting a hole (a hole injection electrode; an anode) instead of the conventional conductive transparent oxide layer such as ITO. In addition, according to another aspect of the invention, a laminated structure of conductive transparent oxide layers containing silicon or silicon oxide, each of which content is different, is applied as a hole injection electrode. Preferably, silicon or a silicon oxide concentration of the conductive layer on the side where it is connected to a TFT ranges from 1 atomic % to 6 atomic % and a silicon or silicon oxide concentration on the side of a layer containing an organic compound ranges from 7 atomic % to 15 atomic %.

  • Patent number: 8809203
    Abstract: It is an object to provide a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device that has a semiconductor element including a film in which mixing impurities is suppressed. It is another object to provide a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device with high yield. In a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device in which an insulating film is formed in contact with a semiconductor layer provided over a substrate having an insulating surface with use of a plasma CVD apparatus, after an inner wall of a reaction chamber of the plasma CVD apparatus is coated with a film that does not include an impurity to the insulating film, a substrate is introduced in the reaction chamber, and the insulating film is deposited over the substrate. As a result, an insulating film in which the amount of impurities is reduced can be formed.
