Abstract

A cleaning composition comprises at least quaternary ammonium hydroxide, a water-soluble organic solvent, water, an anticorrosive, and potassium hydroxide of 1 mass percent or less of a total amount of the solution. This cleaning composition can singly and effectively remove a photoresist film, a buried material, a metallic residue from the surface of a semiconductor substrate.
