Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to a film treatment process. In one embodiment, a transition metal oxide layer including a dopant is deposited on a substrate. After the doped transition metal oxide layer is deposited, a high pressure annealing process is performed on the doped transition metal oxide layer to densify the doped transition metal oxide without outgassing of the dopant. The high pressure annealing process is performed in an ambient environment including the dopant and at a pressure greater than 1 bar.
