A method for cleaning a wafer by removing residues from the surface of a wafer where metals are reacted to form compounds. The cleaning method may include first residue from predetermined areas of the wafer (e.g., uppermost surface of the gate electrode and/or source/drain regions where suicides are formed) using at least one selected from a sulfuric acid cleaning solution, a first mixed cleaning solution and a second mixed cleaning solution, then removing oxide films from the predetermined areas using a diluted hydrofluoric acid cleaning solution, and then removing a second residue derived from the removal of the oxide films using the first mixed cleaning solution. Accordingly, the method efficiently removes the first and second residues left on the surfaces of the predetermined areas.
