Abstract

The present invention provides a composition which is suppressed in decrease of the etching rate over time. A composition which contains; at least one of a quaternary alkyl ammonium fluoride and a hydrate of a quaternary alkyl ammonium fluoride; (A) an N-substituted amide compound that has no active hydrogen on a nitrogen atom and (B) a dipropylene glycol dimethyl ether, which serve as aprotic solvents; and an antioxidant.

Claims (14)

1 . A composition comprising at least one selected from a quaternary alkylammonium fluoride or a hydrate of a quaternary alkylammonium fluoride; (A) an N-substituted amide compound having no active hydrogen on a nitrogen atom, and (B) dipropylene glycol dimethyl ether, as an aprotic solvent; and an antioxidant,

wherein the antioxidant comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of dibutylhydroxytoluene (BHT) and butylhydroxyanisole (BHA), and

wherein the content of the antioxidant is 55 ppm by mass to 1,000 ppm by mass.

2 . The composition according to claim 1 , wherein the (A) N-substituted amide compound is a 2-pyrrolidone derivative compound represented by the formula (1):

wherein, in the formula (1), R 1 represents an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms.

3 . The composition according to claim 2 , wherein the (A) N-substituted amide compound is a 2-pyrrolidone derivative compound wherein R 1 in the formula (1) is a methyl group or an ethyl group.

4 . The composition according to claim 1 , wherein the content of the quaternary alkylammonium fluoride is 0.01 to 10% by mass.

5 . The composition according to claim 1 , wherein the quaternary alkylammonium fluoride is a tetraalkylammonium fluoride represented by the formula (2):

R 2 R 3 R 4 R 5 N + F −   (2)

wherein, in the formula (2), R 2 to R 5 each independently represent an alkyl group selected from the group consisting of a methyl group, an ethyl group, an n-propyl group, an isopropyl group, and an n-butyl group.

6 . The composition according to claim 1 , wherein the content of the (A) N-substituted amide compound is 50 to 95% by mass and the content of (B) dipropylene glycol dimethyl ether is 5 to 50% by mass, with respect to 100% by mass of the aprotic solvent.

7 . The composition according to claim 1 , which is a decomposing cleaning composition for an adhesive polymer.

8 . The composition according to claim 7 , wherein the adhesive polymer is a polyorganosiloxane compound.

9 . A method for cleaning an adhesive polymer on a substrate by contacting the substrate with the composition according to claim 1 .
