Abstract

There is provided a washing liquid composition for a semiconductor substrate having a contact angle between the surface thereof and water dropped thereon of at least 70 degrees, the washing liquid composition including an aliphatic polycarboxylic acid and a surfactant, and the washing liquid composition having a contact angle of at most 50 degrees when dropped on the semiconductor substrate. It is thereby possible to effectively remove particles and metals on the surface of a hydrophobic substrate without corroding it.
