Since a thin film exhibits low crystallinity based on disorder of atoms constituting glass, conventionally, a method using a sapphire single crystal substrate or a SiC single crystal substrate for improving the crystallinity of a ZnO thin film has been reported. However, Z
When an nO thin film is formed, Z is due to the opacity of the substrate.
Since the optical characteristic of the nO thin film, transparency, disappears, it cannot be used as a transparent electrode. Therefore, the ZnO thin film formed using the single crystal substrate cannot be used as a transparent electrode of a flat panel display such as an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) or a device such as a solar cell due to the impermeability of the substrate.

e) In 2 O 3 having a cubic structure has ABCABC, that is, a structure in which three layers are alternately stacked, oxygen in each layer has the same arrangement state, and is an oxygen closest packing surface (1
The average distance between oxygen on the (11) plane is 0.3353 nm. Therefore, it is the surface of In 2 O 3 that is closest to oxygen (11)

It can provide a good oxygen layer. This is because the close-packed oxygen surface of the ZnO thin film is affected by the close-packed oxygen surface of the In 2 O 3 thin film. Therefore, a method for improving the crystallinity of a ZnO thin film formed on a glass substrate is a polycrystalline In 2 O 3
