Abstract
A titanium nitride-stripping liquid for stripping a titanium nitride coating film, the titanium nitride-stripping liquid being capable of stripping a titanium nitride coating film even in a semiconductor multilayer laminate having particularly a layer that includes tungsten or a tungsten alloy, without corrosion of this layer is provided, and furthermore, a titanium nitride-stripping liquid which can strip a titanium nitride coating film without affecting an insulating layer is provided. A titanium nitride-stripping liquid including hydrofluoric acid, hydrogen peroxide and water, and further including an inorganic acid other than hydrofluoric acid. According to the present invention, since the titanium nitride-stripping liquid includes an inorganic acid other than hydrofluoric acid, a titanium nitride coating film can be stripped even in the case in which a semiconductor multilayer laminate has a layer that includes tungsten or a tungsten alloy, without corrosion of the layer by the titanium nitride-stripping liquid.
