The invention discloses washing liquid used in the semiconductor industry to wash plasma etching residues. The washing liquid contains citric acid/citrate buffer solution, fluorides, macromoledular corrosion inhibitor, anti-freeze agent and solvent. The washing liquid can effectively wash the plasma etching residues during the process of manufacturing a semiconductor, have low etching velocity on nonmetals and metal substrates such as Si, SiO2, tetraethoxy silane silicon dioxides (PETEOS), low-medium materials, Ti, Al, Cu and so on, is safe and harmless to the environment and the human body, and has good application prospect in the microelectronic field such as washing of semiconductor wafers and so on.
