Provided are an aqueous dispersion for chemical mechanical polishing, which
planarizes a surface to be polished and has high shelf stability, a chemical mechanical
polishing process excellent in selectivity when surfaces of different materials
are polished, and a production process of a semiconductor device. A first aqueous
dispersion contains a water-soluble quaternary ammonium salt, an inorganic acid
salt, abrasive grains and an aqueous medium. A second aqueous dispersion contains
at least a water-soluble quaternary ammonium salt, another basic organic compound
other than the water-soluble quaternary ammonium salt, an inorganic acid salt,
a water-soluble polymer, abrasive grains and an aqueous medium. The second aqueous
dispersion is composed of a first aqueous dispersion material (I) obtained by mixing
a water-soluble quaternary ammonium salt and an inorganic acid salt into an aqueous
medium, and a second aqueous dispersion material (II) obtained by mixing a water-soluble
polymer and another basic organic compound other than the water-soluble quaternary
ammonium salt into an aqueous medium. Abrasive grains are contained in at least
one of the aqueous dispersion materials.
