A polishing slurry used in chemical mechanical polishing of a barrier layer and an interlayer dielectric film in a semiconductor integrated circuit includes an abrasive, an oxidizer, an anticorrosive, an acid, a surfactant and an inclusion compound. The polishing slurry has a pH of less than 5. The resulting polishing slurry contains a solid abrasive used in barrier CMP for polishing a barrier layer made of a metallic barrier material, has excellent storage stability, achieves a good polishing rate in various films to be polished such as the barrier layer, and is capable of independently controlling the polishing rate with respect to the various films to be polished while further suppressing agglomeration of the abrasive particles.
