Abstract

A stripping composition for removing positive organic photoresist from a substrate, such as a semiconductor wafer, contains a triamine, such as diethylene triamine, and a nonpolar or polar organic solvent, such as N-methyl pyrrolidone. This composition will remove positive photoresist from semiconductor wafers, even after ion implantation into the wafers through the positive photo-resist. The wafers are immersed in the composition, for example, at a temperature of 110.degree. C. for five minutes, in an ultrasonic bath after heavy ion implantation doses through the photoresist, such as 1.times.10.sup.16 ions/cm.sup.2, for complete removal of the photoresist. Prebaking the photoresist at a temperature of between about 150.degree. and 220.degree. C. for a time of from about 15 minutes to about 30 minutes, prior to stripping the positive organic photoresist layer with the triamine, enhances the removal.
