Provided is a polishing method including a step of preparing a substrate having (
1
) silicon nitride as a stopper, and to a direction of a surface subjected to polishing from the stopper, (
2
) at least a portion of a wiring metal, and (
3
) at least a portion of an insulating material; a step of supplying a CMP slurry, and thereby polishing the (
2
) wiring metal and (
3
) insulating material on the direction of the surface subjected to polishing; and a step of stopping polishing before the (
1
) silicon nitride is exposed and completely removed, in which method the CMP slurry contains (A) a copolymer of (a) a monomer that is anionic and does not contain a hydrophobic substituent and (b) a monomer containing a hydrophobic substituent; (B) an abrasive grain; (C) an acid; (D) an oxidizing agent; and (E) a liquid medium, the component (B) has a zeta potential of +10 mV or more in the CMP slurry, and the copolymerization ratio (a):(b) of the component (A) is 25:75 to 75:25 as a molar ratio, with the pH being 5.0 or less. Through this method, an interlayer insulating film and a stopper can be polished at a high selectivity while metal and the interlayer insulating film are removed at high polishing rates, and thus a semiconductor device having high dimensional accuracy can be produced.
