To provide a polishing pad (14) useful for polishing semiconductor materials having a high hardness. The polishing pad (14) is used for polishing a workpiece (16) in combination with loose grains and comprises a polishing surface (15) comprising a textile of high-tenacity organic fibers, the fiber has a tenacity of not lower than 15 cN/dtex. In the textile, the high-tenacity organic fiber may have a single fiber fineness within the range between 0.3 dtex and 15 dtex, or a total fineness of within the range between 3 dtex and 3,000 dtex. The fiber may include, for example, a fully-aromatic polyester fiber. |
