Alternatively, the resistance value may be determined by doping the semiconductor with impurities.
- the "terminal" in an electric circuit means a part where current or voltage input or output and signal reception or transmission are performed. Therefore, a part of the wiring or the electrode may function as a terminal.
- a metal oxide is a metal oxide in a broad sense. Metal oxides are classified into oxide insulators, oxide conductors (including transparent oxide conductors), oxide semiconductors (also referred to as Oxide Semiconductor or simply OS) and the like. For example, when a metal oxide is used in the active layer of a transistor, the metal oxide may be referred to as an oxide semiconductor.
