Abstract
The present invention provides a wafer treating solution in which at least one of C.sub.n H.sub.2n+1 ph(SO.sub.3 M)Oph(SO.sub.3 M) wherein ph is a phenylene group, n is 5 to 20, and M is a hydrogen or salt; C.sub.n H.sub.2n+1 phO(CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 O)mSO.sub.3 M wherein ph is a phenylene group, n is 5 to 20, m is 0 to 20, and M is a hydrogen or salt; and C.sub.n H.sub.2n+1 O(CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 O)mSO.sub.3 M wherein n is 5 to 20, m is 0 to 20, and M is a hydrogen or salt, is dissolved in 0.1 to 1000 ppm into a 20 to 60 wt % of hydrogen fluoride (HF), and the remainder is water (100 wt % in total), and a method for preparing a low concentration of wafer treating solution by adding water, H.sub.2 O.sub.2, HNO.sub.3, CH.sub.3 COOH, NH.sub.4 F or the like, into the above solution. The present invention also provides a wafer treating solution in which at least one of surfactants represented by C.sub.n H.sub.2n+1 ph(SO.sub.3 M)Oph(SO.sub.3 M) wherein ph is a phenylene group, n is 5 to 20, and M is a hydrogen or salt; C.sub.n H.sub.2n+1 phO(CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 O)mSO.sub.3 M wherein ph is a phenylene group, n is 5 to 20, m is 0 to 20, and M is a hydrogen or salt; and C.sub.n H.sub.2n+1 O(CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 O)mSO.sub.3 M wherein n is 5 to 20, m is 0 to 20, and M is a hydrogen or salt, is dissolved in 0.01 to 1000 ppm in at least one of HF, H.sub.2 O.sub.2, HNO.sub.3, CH.sub.3 COOH, NH.sub.4 F, HCl, H.sub.3 PO.sub.4 and an ammonium hydroxide represented by a formula:
