Abstract

The cleaning composition for removing resists includes a salt of hydrofluoric acid and a base not containing a metal (A component), a water-soluble organic solvent (B1 component), at least one organic acid or inorganic acid (C component), water (D component), and, optionally, an ammonium salt (E1 component), and having a pH 4-8. Thus, in manufacturing a semiconductor device, such as a copper interconnecting process, efficiency of removing resist residue and other etching residue after etching or ashing is improved, and corrosion resistance of a copper and an insulating film is also improved.
