Claims11
A composition for dissolving abrasive particles, the composition comprising:
- a sulfur-containing organic acid;
- a fluorine ion-containing compound;
- a solvent;
- and
- a sulfur-containing compound,
- wherein a turbidity change rate (%) measured at 60° C. for 15 minutes is in a range of −80 to −99,
- wherein the sulfur-containing organic acid comprises at least one selected from a group consisting of sulfenic acid (RSOH), sulfinic acid (RSO(OH)), organic sulfonic acid (RS(═O)2—OH), thiosulfonic acid (RSO2SH), and thiocarboxylic acid (RC(S)OH), and
- wherein the sulfur-containing compound comprises at least one selected from a group consisting of thiosulfuric acid (H2S2O3), sulfuric acid, sulfide, bisulfide (R—S—S—R′), hydrogen sulfide (H2S), sulfur trioxide (SO3), sulfamic acid, mercaptan (R—SH), and sulfonate, and
