(42) Using a wafer surface inspection device (SP-5, manufactured by KLA-Tencor Corporation), the number of foreign matters having a diameter of 32 nm or more present on a silicon substrate surface having a diameter of 300 mm and the address of each of the foreign matters were calculated. After the calculation of the number of foreign matters present on the silicon substrate surface, the wafer was set on a rotational type wafer spin processor (manufactured by EKC Technology Inc.). The above-described treatment liquid for manufacturing a semiconductor was discharged to the surface of the set wafer at a flow rate of 1.5 L/min for 1 hour. Next, the wafer was spin-dried. Using the wafer surface inspection device, the number of foreign matters on the wafer and the address of each of the foreign matter were calculated. After spin-drying the treatment liquid for manufacturing a semiconductor, elemental analysis was performed on newly increased foreign matters by energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDX) using a defect analyzer (SEMVISION G6, manufactured by Applied Materials Inc.). Na, K, Ca, Fe, Cu, Mg, Mn, Li, Al, Cr, Ni, and Zn were set as target metal elements, and foreign matters including the target metal elements were counted as particles. The obtained number of particles was evaluated based on the following evaluation standards. The results are shown in Tables 2-4 to 2-6.

(88) The coloring curable resin compositions of each of the colors prepared as described above was applied to a 8-inch silicon wafer to which hexamethyldisilazane was sprayed in advance. As a result, a photocurable coating film was formed. The coating film was heated (pre-baked) using a hot plate at 100° C. for 180 seconds such that the thickness of the coating film after drying was 1.0 μm. Next, using a stepper exposure device FPA-3000 i5+ (manufactured by Canon Corporation), the coating film was irradiated with i-rays having a wavelength of 365 nm through a Bayer pattern mask having a size of 1.0 μm×1.0 μm at 50 to 1000 mJ/cm.sup.2 (the exposure dose changed by 50 mJ/cm.sup.2). Next, the silicon wafer on which the irradiated coating film was disposed was placed on a horizontal rotary table of a spin-shower developing machine (DW-30, manufactured by Chemitronics Co., Ltd.). Puddle development was performed using the developer shown in Tables 1-1 to 1-3 at 23° C. for 180 seconds. As a result, a colored pattern was formed on the silicon wafer.
