A chemical mechanical polishing pad which has a storage elastic modulus E′(30° C.) at 30° C. of 120 MPa or less and an (E′(30° C.)/E′(60° C.)) ratio of the storage elastic modulus E′(30° C.) at 30° C. to the storage elastic modulus E′(60° C.) at 60° C. of 2.5 or more when the storage elastic moduli of a polishing substrate at 30° C. and 60° C. are measured under the following conditions: initial load: 100 g maximum bias: 0.01 % frequency: 0.2 Hz. A chemical mechanical polishing process makes use of the above chemical mechanical polishing pad. The chemical mechanical polishing pad can suppress the production of a scratch on the polished surface in the chemical mechanical polishing step and can provide a high-quality polished surface, and the chemical mechanical polishing process provides a high-quality polished surface by using the chemical mechanical polishing pad.
