Polishing composition and polishing method
There is provided a polishing composition capable of improving the polishing removal rate of silicon nitride to polish silicon oxide and silicon nitride at the same polishing removal rate and polishing silicon nitride with a small number of defects. A polishing composition contains: abrasives having a positive zeta potential; and a cyclic compound having a mother nucleus with a ring structure and two or more anionic functional groups bonded to the mother nucleus, in which the abrasives contain silica. This polishing composition is used for polishing objects to be polished containing silicon oxide and silicon nitride.

abrasives having a positive zeta potential; and
a cyclic compound having a mother nucleus with a ring structure and three or more anionic functional groups bonded to the mother nucleus, wherein
the abrasives contain silica.
2. The polishing composition according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the anionic functional groups is at least one of a carboxy group and a sulfo group.
3. The polishing composition according to claim 1 , wherein a pH is less than 7.
