A mask for defining a guard ring pattern. The mask includes a transparent substrate, a light-shielding layer, and at least one pair of assisted line patterns. The light-shielding layer is disposed on the transparent substrate and has a rectangular ring pattern composed of a plurality of opening patterns to define the guard ring pattern. The pair of assisted line patterns is parallelized by a predetermined interval on both sides of at least one section of the rectangular ring and have a predetermined width. Moreover, a method for defining a guard ring pattern is disclosed. First, a semiconductor substrate covered by an energy sensitive layer is provided. Next, photolithography is performed on the energy sensitive layer using the mask to transfer the guard ring pattern inside.
