Abstract
A highly efficient method for cleaning a substrate, whereby in the cleaning of the substrate, {circle around (1)} in a short time, {circle around (2)} both particle contaminants and metal contaminants can be removed, and {circle around (3)} a problem associated therewith, such as re-deposition of contaminants or a dimensional change due to etching, can be remarkably reduced, and which has the following characteristics. A method for cleaning a surface of a substrate, which comprises at least the following steps (1) and (2), wherein the step (2) is carried out after carrying out the step (1): Step (1): A cleaning step of cleaning the surface of the substrate with an alkaline cleaning agent containing a completing agent, and Step (2): A cleaning step employing a cleaning agent having a hydrofluoric acid content C (wt %) of from 0.03 to 3 wt %, wherein the cleaning time t (seconds) of the substrate with said cleaning agent is at most 45 seconds, and C and t satisfy the relationship of 0.25≦tC≦5.
