Abstract

A removing agent composition for a photoresist is disclosed which comprises 5 to 50% by weight of an alkanolamine, an alkoxyalkylamine or an alkoxyalkanolamine, 1 to 30% by weight of a glycol monoalkyl ether, 0.5 to 15% by weight of a sugar or a sugaralcohol, 0.01 to 10% by weight of a quaternary ammonium hydroxide, if necessary, and water as the balance; and a method of removing by the use of this composition is also disclosed herein. According to the present invention, there can be provided the removing agent composition for the photoresist which can easily remove, at a low temperature in a short time, a photoresist film applied onto an inorganic substrate in a manufacturing process of semiconductor integrated patterns, a remaining photoresist layer after dry etching or a remaining photoresist residue after ashing and which does not corrode a wiring material at all and which can be rinsed with water alone.
