A method for the fabrication of a semiconductor device which prevents the occurrence of a defective die and an erroneous alignment otherwise invoked by a difference in polishing level between an edge and a central portion of a wafer. The method comprises steps of forming a group of dummy patterns around an alignment key of edges of a wafer, wherein the wafer is obtained by forming the capacitor on the cell region, and the dummy pattern has the same elevation as the capacitor formed on the cell region; disposing an interlayer insulating film on a resulting structure obtained after the forming process; and performing a chemical-mechanical polishing on the interlayer insulating film. Further, the process of forming the group of dummy patterns may be performed while forming the capacitor on the cell region.
