Abstract

A resist removing composition comprising a quaternary ammonium hydroxide, a water-soluble amine, an alkylpyrrolidone and a sugar or sugar alcohol. The photoresist removing composition can easily remove (i) a photoresist layer applied onto an inorganic substrate, (ii) a remaining photoresist layer after dry etching or (iii) a photoresist residue after ashing, at a low temperature in a short time, and also enables hyperfine processing of a wiring pattern material to manufacture a high precision circuit pattern without corroding the material.
