To provide a polishing composition which has a high removal rate and enables to suppress occurrence of dishing and erosion, in polishing of a surface to be polished in the production of a semiconductor integrated circuit device. A chemical mechanical polishing composition for polishing a surface to be polished of a semiconductor integrated circuit device comprises (A) fine oxide particles, (B) pullulan, and (C) water. The polishing composition further contains (D) an oxidizing agent, and (E) a compound represented by the formula 1: n n nwherein R is a hydrogen atom, a C 1-4 alkyl group, a C 1-4 alkoxy group or a carboxylic acid group. |
