A polishing composition according to the present invention contains abrasive grains, a basic inorganic compound, an anionic water-soluble polymer, and a dispersing medium, in which a zeta potential of the abrasive grains is negative, an aspect ratio of the abrasive grains is 1.1 or less, in a particle size distribution of the abrasive grains obtained by a laser diffraction/scattering method, a ratio D90/D50 of a particle diameter D90 when an integrated particle mass reaches 90% of a total particle mass from a fine particle side to a particle diameter D50 when the integrated particle mass reaches 50% of the total particle mass from the fine particle side is more than 1.3, and the basic inorganic compound is an alkali metal salt.

Polishing composition, polishing method, and method of producing semiconductor substrate

There is provided a method of producing anionically modified colloidal silica capable of polishing a silicon nitride film at a high speed and suppressing a polishing speed of a silicon oxide film. A method of producing anionically modified colloidal silica includes ion exchanging raw colloidal silica using an ion exchange resin (ion exchange step); and anionically modifying ion-exchanged raw colloidal silica to obtain anionically modified colloidal silica (modification step).

Method of producing anionically modified colloidal silica

An object of the present invention is to provide a new polishing composition that contributes to improving the quality of a device. There is provided a polishing composition containing: an abrasive grain having an organic acid immobilized on a surface thereof; a first water-soluble polymer having a sulfonic acid group or a group having a salt thereof, or a carboxyl group or a group having a salt thereof; a second water-soluble polymer different from the first water-soluble polymer; a nonionic surfactant; and an aqueous carrier, wherein the polishing composition is used for polishing an object to be polished.
