Proposed is a polishing composition including hydroxyethyl cellulose, water and abrasive grains, wherein the hydroxyethyl cellulose has a molecular weight of 500,000 or more and 1,500,000 or less, and the proportion of the hydroxyethyl cellulose adsorbed to the abrasive grains is 30% or more and 90% or less.

Polishing composition

Proposed is a method for polishing a semiconductor substrate including an intermediate polishing step of polishing in such a way that the number of surface defects having heights of less than 3 nm is 45% or more of the total number of the surface defects on the surface of a semiconductor substrate, and a final polishing step of finish-polishing the semiconductor substrate after the intermediate polishing step.

Method for polishing semiconductor substrate

Proposed is a polishing composition including hydroxyethyl cellulose, water and abrasive grains, wherein the hydroxyethyl cellulose has a molecular weight of 500,000 or more and 1,500,000 or less, and the mass ratio of the hydroxyethyl cellulose to the abrasive grains is 0.0075 or more and 0.025 or less.
