Abstract

A photoresist stripping composition comprises (1) a nitrogen-containing organohydroxyl compound, (2) an alkylene glycol monoalkyl ether represented by the general formula: HO—(CpH2pO)q—R, wherein R is C1-C4 alkyl, p is 2 or 3, and q is 1, 2 or 3, (3) sugar or sugar alcohol, (4) a phosphorus-containing compound and (5) water. The photoresist stripping composition easily removes photoresist films on the inorganic substrate, and patterned photoresist films and photoresist residues remaining after etching and photoresist residues in a short period of time without corroding semiconductive materials, circuit-forming materials, insulating materials, etc.
