It is desirable in this process to completely remove the unwanted photoresist without etching any of the substrate.
Currently, a photoresist cleaning solution mainly consists of a polar organic solvent, a strong base, and/or water, etc., and removes photoresist on a semiconductor wafer by immersing the semiconductor wafer in the cleaning solution or washing the semiconductor wafer with the cleaning solution.
