Abstract: A method for fabricating a semiconductor device includes steps as follows. A gate structure is formed on a substrate. A fluorine-containing dopant is implanted into the substrate to form two lightly doped drain regions at two sides of the gate structure. A thermal treatment process is performed, in which a part of fluorine atoms of the fluorine-containing dopant diffuse onto a surface of the substrate. The part of fluorine atoms are removed.
