Abstract

The present disclosure provides a wafer annealing method, including: preparing a wafer, the wafer includes a plurality of regions concentrically disposed on the wafer; heating the plurality of regions, the heating process includes a plurality of heating stages, each of the heating stages has a different heating rate, temperatures of the plurality of regions vary in each of the heating stages; performing heat preservation on the plurality of regions; and cooling the plurality of regions through blowing nitrogen. The wafer annealing method can improve the electrical uniformity of the wafer.
