Zusammenfassung:An organic solvent-containing composition and its use by the application to surfaces, for inhibiting adsorption of sodium to integrated circuit surfaces during photoresist removal or post-metal etch cleanup is disclosed, wherein the composition comprises: 1,2-diaminocyclohexanetetracarboxylic acid (CYDTA), from 1-50% of a nucleophilic amine, and a non-nitrogen containing weak acid. Wherein the weak acid has a pK value of 2 or greater is in an amount sufficient to partially neutralize the nucleophilic amine such that the composition has an aqueous pH 9.6-10.9; the solvent is a stripping solvent system having a solubility of 8-15% and is present in an amount of 50-98% by weight of the composition.
