The cleaning composition can comprise water; a fluorine compound; an alkanolamine compound; and a corrosion inhibitor.

Specifically, the present invention relates to a cleaner composition that can be used to remove metal oxides and metal abrasive particles arising during metal polishing, such as chemical mechanical planarization (CMP). The cleaner composition has an improved ability to complex with metal abrasive particles. In addition, the cleaner composition maintains its ability to reduce metal abrasive particles, achieving improved stability. Therefore, the cleaner composition can be used for cleaning the surface of a metal with an increased ability to prevent corrosion of the metal surface.

Thus, the photoresist pattern can be easily removed from a substrate, thereby improving the removing ability of the composition. In addition, a residual amount of the photoresist pattern may be minimized, thereby improving the reliability of removing the photoresist pattern.
