(Prior Art) Conventionally, there has been a research report on the electric conduction of a polycrystalline thin film semiconductor based on the carrier mobility measurement results. For example, there is an example in which the relationship between the temperature dependence of the carrier mobility of a p-type impurity-doped polycrystalline Si film and the impurity doping concentration was experimentally examined (Journal of Applied Physics, Vol. 46, No. 12, 5247 page). In the case of a compound semiconductor, for example, the relationship between the carrier mobility of an n-type InP polycrystalline film and the polycrystalline average grain size was examined (Journal of Applied Physics, Vol. 54 (2), 847).

And Mg, Zn, Cd, etc., which generate a p-type carrier. The introduction of the impurity element may be performed at the time of the InSb film formation or after the film formation. Examples of the method of introduction include a method of combining vapor deposition and thermal diffusion during film formation, a method of thermal diffusion from the surface or gas phase after film formation, and a method of combining ion implantation and annealing. However, when the impurity element introduced at this time is concentrated and localized at the InSb crystal grain boundary, the electrical properties of the InSb crystal grain boundary are significantly changed, so that the semiconductor thin film material of the present invention is not obtained. It is necessary to select an impurity species and a method for introducing the same so as not to cause the change of the InSb crystal grain boundary. As an example, for the polycrystalline thin film obtained by the method of the above-mentioned reference example, when InSb is thermally diffused at 300 to 500 ° C. for 1 to 100 hours while introducing Se from the gas phase after the formation of InSb, the InSb crystal grain boundary is formed. Does not cause significant changes. In this case, the semiconductor material of the present invention can be obtained by introducing impurities having a carrier concentration at room temperature in the range of 10 15 cm −3 to 10 18 cm −3 .
