The invention provides a method for forming a dielectric layer in a semiconductor device by using etch stop layers, and a semiconductor structure formed by the method. The method in accordance with the invention comprises: providing a semiconductor substrate having raised portions and recessed portions; forming a first etch stop layer covering the raised portions and the recessed portions; forming a dielectric layer covering an upper surface of the first etch stop layer, wherein the dielectric layer has a thickness substantially smaller than that of each of the raised portions; forming a second etch stop layer covering the dielectric layer; and performing a planarizing step for polishing the second etch stop layer and the dielectric layer until exposing the first etch stop layer on an upper surface of the raised portions, and remaining a plurality of remaining portions of the second etch stop layer on the planarized surface, and remaining the dielectric layer between raised portions.
