Abstract

The present invention relates to compositions useful in removing photoresist and organic and inorganic residues and processes for removal of photoresists and etch residues. The compositions are aqueous, acidic compositions containing fluoride and organic polar solvents. The compositions are free of glycols and have a low surface tension and viscosity. Corrosion inhibitors are optionally present.
