Method for improving conformity of a conductive layer in a semiconductor device
 A method for improving the conformity of the conductive layer in a contact hole, thus allowing for the formation of a plug in the resulting contact hole. The aforementioned method includes the following steps. First, immerse the conductive layer of the semiconductor wafer into an electrolyte. The first portion of the conductive layer at the opening of the contact hole contact with the electrolyte, the conductive layer in the contact hole is not in contact with the electrolyte due to the surface tension of the electrolyte. Second, electrically couple the electrolyte to the anode of the source power. Finally, electrically couple the conductive layer to the cathode of the power source until the first portion of the conductive layer at the opening of the contact hole is removed.
