A functional water containing a fluorine-containing component obtained by
electrolyzing an aqueous solution containing fluoride ion using
electrodes having conductive diamonds, a method of producing the same,
and a method and an apparatus of rinsing electronic parts using the
functional water as a rinsing water. The fluorine-containing component
produced by electrolyzing the fluoride ion using the conductive diamond,
has stronger rinsing effect than that of a fluorine-containing component
obtained by electrolyzing the fluoride ion itself before electrolysis or
the fluoride ion using other electrodes. Therefore, an amount of
hydrofluoric acid used can greatly be decreased.
