Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Dilute HCN aqueous solutions with a concentration of 1ppm can remove Cu contaminants of 10^{12}~10^{13} atomc/cm^{2} concentrations on SiO_{2} surfaces to a concentration below ~3×10^{9} atoms/cm^{2} taking 5 min. The high cleaning ability of HCN aqueous solutions is attributable to the high reactivity of CN^{-} ions to form metal-cyano complex ions with a high stability constant in aqueous solutions, leading to prevention of re-adsorption. It has been found, from XANES spectra and the incidence angle dependence of total reflection X-ray fluorescence intensity, that Cu contaminants with a 1×10^{10} atoms/cm^{2} concentration resemble to Cu_{2}O and Cu(OH)_{2}. In the case of bare silicon substrates, Cu contaminants can be removed without etching and roughening surfaces by adjusting pH of HCN aqueous solutions below 9.
