Abstract

The present invention provides a method of removing a photoresist film, which exhibits the high ability to remove photoresist and excellent safety and handling properties such as workability, In the removing method, the photoresist film is removed by chemical decomposition in an inorganic aqueous solution under ultraviolet-light irradiation. The inorganic aqueous solution is an aqueous solution of peroxomonosulfate or an aqueous solution containing 4.5 to 36 wt % of sulfuric acid and 0.05 to 0.8 wt % of hydrogen peroxide.
