A semiconductor substrate cleaning method including removing an adhesive layer provided on a semiconductor substrate by use of a remover composition, wherein the remover composition contains a solvent but no salt; and the solvent includes an organic solvent represented by any of formulae (L0) to (L4).

The invention provides a cleaning agent composition for use in removing an adhesive residue, characterized in that the composition contains a quaternary ammonium salt, a metal corrosion inhibitor, and an organic solvent, and the metal corrosion inhibitor is formed of a C7 to C40 saturated aliphatic hydrocarbon compound monocarboxylic acid, a C7 to C40 saturated aliphatic hydrocarbon compound dicarboxylic acid or anhydride, a C7 to C40 unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbon compound monocarboxylic acid, or a C7 to C40 unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbon compound dicarboxylic acid or anhydride.

Described herein are compositions and methods for use in automotive care. The present disclosure includes compositions directed to, for example, a wheel cleaner.

The present invention relates to new alkaline, preferably highly alkaline, cleaning solutions comprising surfactants with improved stability and cleaning performance under such conditions. It further relates to novel surfactants.

The present invention relates to a cleaning liquid containing a component (A): a compound represented by the following formula (1), component (B): alkylamine, component (C): polycarboxylic acid, and component (D): ascorbic acid, in which a mass ratio of the component (A) to a total mass of the component (B) and the component (C) is 1 to 15, and in the formula (1), R.sup.1, R.sup.2, and R.sup.3 each have a definition same as the definition described in the description, ##STR00001##

This disclosure relates to a cleaning composition that contains 1) hydroxylamine; 2) a chelating agent; 3) an alkylene glycol; and 4) water. This disclosure also relates to a method of using the above composition for cleaning a semiconductor substrate.

A treatment liquid contains water, hydroxylamine, and one or more kinds of hydrazines selected from the group consisting of hydrazine, a hydrazine salt, and a hydrazine derivative, in which a total content of the hydrazines is 1 part by mass or less with respect to 100 parts by mass of the hydroxylamine.

A treatment liquid contains water, hydroxylamine, and one or more kinds of hydrazines selected from the group consisting of hydrazine, a hydrazine salt, and a hydrazine derivative, in which a total content of the hydrazines is 1 part by mass or less with respect to 100 parts by mass of the hydroxylamine.

The present invention provides a chemical liquid that has an excellent ruthenium dissolving ability and leaves small amounts of residual ruthenium and sodium, a chemical liquid container, and a method for treating a substrate. The chemical liquid according to an embodiment of the present invention is a chemical liquid used for removing a ruthenium-containing substance on a substrate. The chemical liquid contains hypochlorous acid or a salt thereof and bromic acid or a salt thereof, in which a content of the hypochlorous acid or a salt thereof is 0.1% to 9.0% by mass with respect to a total mass of the chemical liquid, and a content of the bromic acid or a salt thereof is 0.001 to 15.0 ppm by mass with respect to the total mass of the chemical liquid.

A method of cleaning (e.g., selectively removing an oxide from) a surface of a substrate is disclosed. An exemplary method includes providing one or more of a haloalkylamine and a halogenated sulfur compound to a reaction chamber to selectively remove the silicon oxide from the surface.
