Abstract
In a hydrophilicity treatment method including the step of rotating, on a polishing cloth, a mirror surface of a silicon wafer subjected to mirror-polishing followed by rinsing treatment while the mirror surface is pushed onto the cloth under the application of a small load with the contact of the mirror surface with a hydrophilicity treatment liquid, thereby making the mirror surface hydrophilic, the hydrophilicity treatment liquid is an aqueous liquid which comprises an organic compound having at least one hydrophilic group and having a molecular weight of 100 or more, a basic nitrogen-containing organic compound and a surfactant, and which has a pH of 9.5 to 10.5.
