In order to from an n type zinc oxide semiconductor, the dopant selected from a group of Al, In, Ga, and B or an oxide including Al, In, Ga, and B is added to the zinc oxide layer. In order to from a p type zinc oxide semiconductor, the dopant selected from a group of Li, Na, K, N, P, As, and Ni or an oxide including Li, Na, K, N, P, As, and Ni is added to the zinc oxide. The substrate including the zinc oxide layer is loaded into a thermal processing reactor.

PURPOSE: A plasma treatment process for improving an ohmic contact characteristic of a zinc oxide semiconductor is to provide low specific contact resistivity and an excellent optical characteristic by a simplified method, and to prevent the capacity of the semiconductor from being deteriorated by omitting a high heat treatment process. CONSTITUTION: A substrate on which the zinc oxide semiconductor is deposited is settled on a susceptor in a reaction chamber. Plasma including hydrogen is formed in the reaction chamber to expose the surface of the zinc oxide semiconductor to the plasma. The plasma including the hydrogen further includes one selected from an inert gas group composed of He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe and Rn, or mixture gas including at least one of the inert gas group.

PURPOSE: A method for dry-etching a zinc oxide is provided to obtain a higher etch rate as compared with a conventional wet-etch method, to improve an optical characteristic of a thin film by using a hydrogen passivation effect and to improve an isotropic etch characteristic by controlling radio frequency(RF) power. CONSTITUTION: A substrate on which a zinc oxide is deposited is settled on a susceptor in a reaction chamber. Gas including methane is supplied to the inside of the reaction chamber to generate plasma. The zinc oxide is dry-etched by using the plasma. The gas including the methane further includes hydrogen or argon.
