PURPOSE: To achieve that a resist which has been denatured, contaminated or polymerized by an ion implantation operation, a dry etching operation or the like is removed with good efficiency.
CONSTITUTION: In a process wherein a treatment is executed by ultraviolet rays, ozone 1 and a gas containing a nitrogen oxide 2, a nitrogen oxide measuring process is installed. During an ashing operation, the nitrogen oxide is added while it is being monitored. Thereby, a resist which has been denatured, contaminated or polymerized by an ion implantation operation, a dry etching operation or the like can be removed with good efficiency. In addition, the title method can be applied in order to clean or the like the surface of a semiconductor substrate which does not contain any resist.
