が要求される。Applications are expanding for positive resist developers, semiconductor substrate cleaning agents, resist stripping agents, etc. in the manufacture of semiconductor devices such as LSIs and VLSIs. In particular, the recent development of the electronics industry is remarkable, and with the increasing integration of semiconductor devices,
An aqueous quaternary ammonium hydroxide solution containing extremely few impurity ions, especially alkali metals and alkaline earth metals, is required.

f)b以下塩除去することが望まれてきた。However, even in the manufacturing method using such a diaphragm electrolytic cell, metal ions such as potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium, Lzinc, chromium, aluminum, copper, etc. are more or less mixed in. This is the actual situation. There are various causes of contamination of these metal ions, such as impurities in the raw quaternary ammonium salt, elution from manufacturing equipment, contamination by dust from the atmosphere during the processing process, elution from storage containers, etc. There are also various types of ions. However, if these metal ions are present, they will diffuse into the semiconductor substrate when the photoresist is exposed to light, developed with a developer, or when the semiconductor substrate is cleaned, causing harmful effects such as deterioration of the electrical characteristics of the semiconductor substrate. affect Therefore, as semiconductor devices become more highly integrated, even the presence of several tens of ppb of trace metal ions becomes a problem.
f) It has been desired to remove salts below b.

Yes, each
Improvements have been made in the types of quaternary ammonium salts, ion exchange membranes, and electrolytic cells. However, in either method, it is difficult to stably remove all metal ions to a pH of several b or less. Also, special public service 1986-2
No. 2978 discloses that quaternary ammonium chloride is reacted with an alkaline agent such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide in an alcohol solution to obtain quaternary ammonium hydroxide and precipitated NaCl or KCI, and then filtered. A method is described in which the precipitated product is separated and removed using a method such as the above, and then treated with a polyacrylic weakly acidic ion exchange resin. However, with this method, the ability to remove sodium is poor and the limit is <5 ppb, and at the same time, a portion of the alkaline agent is dissolved, so the ion exchange resin must be regenerated more frequently, and during regeneration, quaternary ammonium hydroxide must be removed. This causes losses and is economically unsatisfactory.

かった。As described above, it has been conventionally considered that it is extremely difficult to selectively remove trace amounts of ion species from a system in which many types of ions exist, and it has been particularly difficult to remove alkali metals and the like. Even if a polyacrylic gel-based weakly acidic ion exchange resin with low acidity is used, divalent or higher cations can be removed, but alkali metals, especially sodium, cannot be removed satisfactorily. could not be removed.

The present inventors have discovered that highly pure quaternary ammonium hydroxide can be obtained by removing the hydroxide, and have completed the present invention. That is, in the method of the present invention, a quaternary ammonium hydroxide aqueous solution obtained by electrolyzing a quaternary ammonium salt aqueous solution in a diaphragm electrolytic cell is converted into a polystyrene-based sulfonic acid having a high degree of crosslinking and having a divinylbenzene content of IQwt% or more.

換に関与すると考えられる。For example, phenol-based strongly acidic ion-exchange resins and polystyrene-based ion-exchange resins whose exchange groups are sulfonic acid groups with a divinylbenzene content of 8 wt% or less,
It exchanges ions with the quaternary ammonium ions of quaternary ammonium hydroxide, making it particularly difficult to remove IJium ions. Therefore, in such a method, the sodium ion concentration does not fall below 1 ppb. On the other hand, among strongly acidic ion exchange resins whose exchange groups are sulfonic acid groups, the divinylbenzene content IQw
It has been found that when a highly crosslinked resin of t% or more is used, the degree to which quaternary ammonium ions are ion-exchanged is surprisingly reduced, and metal ions are preferentially ion-exchanged and removed. The most preferred ion exchange resin is a polystyrene type resin having a divinylbenzene content of IQwt% or more, and a strongly acidic type resin in which the exchange group is a sulfonic acid group. In this case, metal ions can be sufficiently removed to 1 ppb or less. The reason for this is not clear, but it is probably because quaternary ammonium ions have a large ionic radius, and highly crosslinked products with a high divinylbenzene content cause steric hindrance, and metal ions with a small ionic radius selectively participate in ion exchange. It is thought that then.
