Abstract

A method of fabricating a semiconductor device includes placing a semiconductor wafer into a processing chamber, the semiconductor wafer including a first conductive layer and a second conductive layer separated by an intermediate layer; applying an electrical bias voltage across the intermediate layer by coupling the first conductive layer to a first potential and coupling the second conductive layer to a second potential; and annealing the semiconductor wafer while applying the electrical bias voltage.
