Abstract: A method for forming a semiconductor device. A substrate having a first region and a second region surrounding the first region is provided. The first region includes a first active area and a first gate. A dummy pattern is disposed on the substrate within the second region around a perimeter of the first region. A resist pattern masks the second region and includes an opening that exposes the first region. An ion implantation process is performed to implant dopants through the opening into the first active area not covered by the first gate within the first region, thereby forming doped regions in the first active area. A resist stripping process is performed to remove the resist pattern by using a sulfuric acid-hydrogen peroxide mixture (SPM) solution at a temperature that is higher than or equal to 120˜190 degrees Celsius. The substrate is subjected to a cleaning process.
