Claim Text:
1. A method for processing an oxide semiconductor layer containing indium, wherein the oxide semiconductor layer comprises a plurality of excess oxygen, a first oxygen vacancy that is adjacent to a first indium and captures a first hydrogen, and a second oxygen vacancy that is adjacent to a second indium and captures a second hydrogen, the method comprising: making the first hydrogen captured by the first oxygen vacancy into a hydroxyl by bonding one of the plurality of excess oxygen to the first hydrogen; releasing the second hydrogen captured by the second oxygen vacancy as water by bonding the hydroxyl to the second hydrogen; and after releasing the second hydrogen captured by the second oxygen vacancy as water, bonding one of the plurality of excess oxygen to the first indium and bonding one of the plurality of excess oxygen to the second indium, wherein the oxide semiconductor layer comprises nanocrystal.
