Abstract

A washing method, a washing device, a storage medium, and a washing composition for enabling effective removal of a layer to be processed by decomposing or degenerating the layer to be processed at a higher temperature than conventionally. In a state where a substrate provided with a layer to be processed is heated, the substrate is supplied with vapor of a component that can decompose the layer to be processed, and thereafter the layer to be processed that has reacted with the component is removed from the substrate. As the component, a nitric acid or a sulfonic acid is preferable. As the sulfonic acid, a fluorinated alkyl sulfonic acid is preferable.
