Claim 1
Independent Claim
173 words
A stripping liquid composition for stripping off a photoresist film applied on a substrate, comprising: (a) an alkanol amine compound expressed by the structural formula H 3-n N((CH 2 ) m OH) n (where m is 2 or 3, and n is 1, 2 or 3), (b) a sulfone compound or sulfoxide compound expressed by the structural formula R 1 --SO 2 --R 2 or R 1 --SO--R 2 (where R1 and R2 are independently alkyl groups with 1 or 2 carbon atoms, or mutually coupled and formed cyclic alkylene groups with 4, 5 or 6 carbon atoms), and (c) a hydroxy compound expressed by the structural formula C 6 H 6-n (OH) n (where n=1, 2 or 3) or C 6 H 6-m-n (OH) n R m (where n=1, 2, or 3, m=1 or 2, having at least a hydroxy group and at least an alkyl group or at least an alkoxy group added to a cyclic alkylene group), wherein the ratio of the ingredients (a)-(c) is in the proportion of 3:6:1.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
173 words
A stripping liquid composition for stripping off a photoresist film applied on a substrate, comprising: (a) an alkanol amine compound expressed by the structural formula H 3-n N((CH 2 ) m OH) n (where m is 2 or 3, and n is 1, 2 or 3), (b) a sulfone compound or sulfoxide compound expressed by the structural formula R 1 --SO 2 --R 2 or R 1 --SO--R 2 (where R1 and R2 are independently alkyl groups with 1 or 2 carbon atoms, or mutually coupled and formed cyclic alkylene groups with 4, 5 or 6 carbon atoms), and (c) a hydroxy compound expressed by the structural formula C 6 H 6-n (OH) n (where n=1, 2 or 3) or C 6 H 6-m-n (OH) n R m (where n=1, 2, or 3, m=1 or 2, having at least a hydroxy group and at least an alkyl group or at least an alkoxy group added to a cyclic alkylene group), wherein the ratio of the ingredients (a)-(c) is in the proportion of 3:6:1.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim

A stripping liquid composition of claim 1, wherein the alkanol amine compound is monoethanol amine.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
14 words
A stripping liquid composition of claim 1, wherein the sulfone compound is tetramethylene sulfone.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
14 words
A stripping liquid composition of claim 1, wherein the sulfoxide compound is dimethyl sulfoxide.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
14 words
A stripping liquid composition of claim 1, wherein the hydroxy compound is dihydroxy benzene.
Claim 7
Independent Claim
192 words
A method of stripping off a photoresist film on a substrate using a composition comprising: (a) an alkanol amine compound expressed by the structural formula H 3-n N((CH 2 ) m OH) n (where m is 2 or 3, and n is 1, 2 or 3), (b) a sulfone compound or sulfoxide compound expressed by the structural formula R 1 --SO 2 --R 2 or R 1 --SO--R 2 (where R1 and R2 are independently alkyl groups with 1 or 2 carbon atoms, or mutually coupled and formed cyclic alkylene groups with 4, 5 or 6 carbon atoms), and (c) a hydroxy compound expressed by the structural formula C 6 H 6-n (OH) n (where n=1, 2 or 3) or C 6 H 6-m-n (OH) n R m (where n=1, 2 or 3, m=1 or 2, having at least a hydroxy group and at least an alkyl group or at least an alkoxy group added to a cyclic alkylene group), wherein the ratio of the ingredients (a)-(c) is in the proportion of 3:6:1, comprising the step of: applying the composition (a)-(c) to the photoresist film subsequent to etching of the photoresist film.
Claim 8
Independent Claim
192 words
A method of stripping off a photoresist film on a substrate using a composition comprising: (a) an alkanol amine compound expressed by the structural formula H 3-n N((CH 2 ) m OH) n (where m is 2 or 3, and n is 1, 2 or 3), (b) a sulfone compound or sulfoxide compound expressed by the structural formula R 1 --SO 2 --R 2 or R 1 --SO--R 2 (where R1 and R2 are independently alkyl groups with 1 or 2 carbon atoms, or mutually coupled and formed cyclic alkylene groups with 4, 5 or 6 carbon atoms), and (c) a hydroxy compound expressed by the structural formula C 6 H 6-n (OH) n (where n=1, 2 or 3) or C 6 H 6-m-n (OH) n R m (where n=1, 2 or 3, m=1 or 2, having at least a hydroxy group and at least an alkyl group or at least an alkoxy group added to a cyclic alkylene group), wherein the ratio of the ingredients (a)-(c) is in the proportion of 3:6:1, comprising the step of: applying the composition (a)-(c) to the photoresist film subsequent to etching of the photoresist film.
