Abstract

A semiconductor substrate cleaning liquid composition is provided that includes one or more types selected from the group consisting of a compound having at least two sulfonic acid groups per molecule, phytic acid, and a condensed phosphoric acid compound; an inorganic acid; and water. There is also provided a process for cleaning a semiconductor substrate that includes a first step of cleaning the semiconductor substrate using the semiconductor substrate cleaning liquid composition and, subsequent to the first step, a second step of cleaning the semiconductor substrate with pure water, ozone water formed by dissolving ozone gas in pure water, or aqueous hydrogen peroxide.
