Abstract

A method for forming the active area includes the following operations. A semiconductor substrate is provided. A first mask layer and a second mask layer are sequentially formed on a surface of the semiconductor substrate, in which the second mask layer has an initial pattern for forming the active area. A sacrificial layer covering the second mask layer is formed. The sacrificial layer and a portion of the second mask layer are removed to form a third mask layer with a preset thickness, in which the preset thickness is less than an initial thickness of the second mask layer. The active area is formed through the third mask layer and the first mask layer.
