Provided is a polishing composition, which comprises abrasive grains, a water-soluble polymer, an aggregation inhibitor and water. The ratio R1/R2 is 1.3 or less, where R1 represents the average particle diameter of the particles present in the polishing composition and R2 represents the average particle diameter of the abrasive grains when the abrasive grains are dispersed in water at the same concentration as that of the abrasive grains in the polishing composition. The polishing composition can be used mainly for polishing the surface of a silicon substrate. |
