Abstract

The present invention provides a chemical mechanical polishing composition with which it is possible to suppress ruthenium corrosion and also perform chemical mechanical polishing of a semiconductor substrate containing ruthenium while maintaining a stable polishing speed. The composition for chemical mechanical polishing of the present invention contains: (A) abrasive grains; (B) an acid containing at least one anion selected from the group consisting of periodate ions (IO 4 − ), hypochlorite ions (CIO − ), chlorite ions (CIO 2 − ) and hypobromite ions (BrO − ) or a salt of said acid; and (C) hydrogen peroxide. MB/MC=0.015 to 11, where MB (mol/L) is the amount of the (B) acid or salt thereof and MC (mol/L) is the amount of hydrogen peroxide (C).
