Zusammenfassung:A cleaning solution and methods of fabricating semiconductor devices using the same are provided. A cleaning solution used for cleaning a silicon surface and methods of fabricating a semiconductor device using the same are also provided. The cleaning solution may include 0.01 to 1 wt % of fluoric acid, 20 to 50 wt % of oxidizer and 50 to 80 wt % of water. The cleaning solution may further include 1 to 20 wt % of acetic acid. The cleaning solution may be used to clean a silicon surface exposed during fabrication processes of a semiconductor device. The cleaning solution may reduce damage of other material layers (e.g., a tungsten layer or a silicon oxide layer) and enable the silicon surface to be selectively etched.
