Abstract

A composition for stripping photoresist, methods of preparing and forming the same, a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device using the composition, and a method of removing a photoresist pattern from an underlying layer using the composition, where the composition may include an ethoxy N-hydroxyalkyl alkanamide represented by the formula, CH3CH2—O—R3—CO—N—R1R2OH, an alkanolamine and a polar material. Raw materials of alkyl alkoxy alkanoate, represented by a chemical formula of R4—O—R3—COOR5, and alkanolamine, represented by a chemical formula of NHR1R2OH, may be mixed to form a mixture, which is stirred and cooled to obtain the composition. The composition may balance exfoliation and dissolution of photoresist patterns, and may potentially eliminate thread-type residues from remaining on a surface of an underlying layer after removing the photoresist patterns.
