A polishing composition containing at least one or more aminocarboxylic acids selected from the group consisting of serine, cysteine and dihydroxyethylglycine, ceria particles and an aqueous medium; a polishing process of a semiconductor substrate, including the step of polishing a semiconductor substrate with a polishing composition for a semiconductor substrate, containing at least one or more aminocarboxylic acids selected from the group consisting of serine, cysteine and dihydroxyethylglycine, ceria particles and an aqueous medium; a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device including the step of polishing a semiconductor substrate having a film formed on its surface, the film containing a silicon atom and having a shape with dents and projections, with a polishing pad pressed against a semiconductor substrate at a polishing load of from 5 to 100 kPa in the presence of a polishing composition for a semiconductor substrate, containing at least one or more aminocarboxylic acids selected from the group consisting of serine, cysteine and dihydroxyethylglycine, ceria particles and an aqueous medium.
