A CLEANING AGENT COMPOSITION FOR A POSITIVE OR A NEGATIVE PHOTORESIST

摘要

The present invention relates to a composition for cleaning a photoresist and is to provide a cleaning composition wherein the residue of the photoresist does not remain on the boundary surface between the cleaned area and the not-cleaned area after a negative photoresist containing pigment is cleaned, soft-baked, exposed and developed. The present invention provides a composition for cleaning a positive or negative photoresist which comprises (a) from 0.1 to 20 wt.% of and alkyl oxide polymer with a molecular weight of from 50 to 2000 and (b) from 80 to 99.9 wt.% of an organic solvent comprising: (b-1) from 1 to 20 parts by weight of dipropylene glycol methyl ether (DPGME), from 10 to 50 parts by weight of N-methyl pyrolidone (NMP) and from 50 to 90 parts by weight of methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK), or (b-2) from 10 to 90 parts by weight of dimethyl formaldehyde (DMF) or dimethylacetamide (DMAc) and from 10 to 50 parts by weight of n-butyl acetate.
