Abstract

Oxide films, and residues of organic matters, carbons, if any, are removed from a metal surface simply without using complicated steps and without giving adverse effects on electronic parts or electronic devices by irradiating the metal surface with a laser beam of lower energy level than energy capable of changing the metal surface structure, thereby cleaning the metal surface.
