Abstract

Provided is a high purity polishing slurry which provides a material to be polished with a high scratch resistance and has a high polishing efficiency and which less contaminates the material to be polished. The polishing slurry comprises water and silica particles dispersed in water, wherein the above silica particles have an average primary particle size of 50 to 300 nm and a refractive index of 1.41 to 1.44 and are synthesized in a liquid phase and produced without passing through a drying step; and the K value is 5×10−6 mol/m2 or more. Further, a polishing process for a semiconductor wafer using the above polishing slurry is provided.
