Abstract

An aqueous resist stripping composition contains (a) an oxidizing agent, (b) a chelating agent, (c) a water-soluble fluorine compound, and optionally (d) an organic solvent. Also provided is a process of stripping resist films and resist residues remaining after etching treatment utilizing the aqueous resist stripping composition. In the process, corrosion of semiconductor materials, circuit-forming materials, insulating films, etc. is minimized and the rinsing is sufficiently made with only water without needing organic solvent such as alcohol.
