Inventor: OTSUKI MAKOTO
IPC: B23K26/40
Filed: 2004-06-10
Abstract: A method for producing semiconductor single crystal wafer is characterized in that a plurality of semiconductor single crystal wafers (2a-2d) having a relatively small diameter that is required by prospective consumers are cut out of a semiconductor single crystal wafer (1a-1d) having a relatively large diameter.
