Abstract

The CMP polishing liquid of the invention comprises a metal salt containing at least one type of metal selected from the group consisting of metals of Groups 8, 11, 12 and 13, 1,2,4-triazole, a phosphorus acid, an oxidizing agent and abrasive grains. The polishing method of the invention comprises a step of polishing at least a palladium layer with an abrasive cloth while supplying a CMP polishing liquid between the palladium layer of a substrate having the palladium layer and the abrasive cloth, wherein the CMP polishing liquid comprises a metal salt containing at least one type of metal selected from the group consisting of metals of Groups 8, 11, 12 and 13, 1,2,4-triazole, a phosphorus acid, an oxidizing agent and abrasive grains.
