Stripping compositions are described that are useful for removing organic substances from substrates, for example, electronic device substrates such as microelectronic wafers or flat panel displays. The stripping compositions may be suitable for removing photoresists, including acrylic-based negative dry film photoresist, from electronic devices. In one embodiment, the stripping compositions can include a polar protic solvent, an amine or alkanoamine, and a quaternary ammonium hydroxide. In one embodiment the stripping compositions can include a polar protic solvent and at least two alkanoamines. The stripping compositions may be free of polar aprotic solvents. |
