Abstract

A photoresist stripper composition is formed of a mixture of acetone, &ggr;-butyrolactone, and ester solvent. A photoresist stripping method includes spraying the photoresist stripper composition over a substrate while rotating the substrate at a relatively low speed, so as to strip photoresist from the substrate. The rotation of the substrate is stopped for a short period of time, and thereafter the photoresist stripper composition is again sprayed over the substrate while rotating the substrate at a relatively high speed. Then, the substrate is rinsed with pure water.
