Abstract

A method for removing resists and etching residue from substrates using a stripping and cleaning composition containing hydroxylamine and at least one alkanolamine is described. Further, a method for removing etching residue from semiconductor substrates using a cleaning composition containing hydroxylamine, at least one alkanolamine, at least one chelating agent, and water is described. The preferred chelating agent is 1,2-dihydroxybenzene or a derivative thereof. The chelating agent provides added stability and effectiveness to the cleaning composition of the method.
