Abstract

A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes preparing a substrate on which a fuze line containing copper is formed. The method further includes cutting the fuze line by emitting a laser beam, and applying a composition for etching copper to the substrate to finely etch a cutting area of the fuze line and to substantially remove at least one of a copper residue and a copper oxide residue remaining near the cutting area. The composition for etching copper includes about 0.01 to about 10 percent by weight of an organic acid, about 0.01 to 1.0 percent by weight of an oxidizing agent, and a protic solvent.
