Patent ID: 11361959

Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a wafer product, including the steps of: chamfering a circumferential edge portion of a wafer; lapping or double-side grinding main surfaces thereof; etching; mirror-polishing the main surface; and mirror-polishing the chamfered portion. The chamfered portion has a cross-sectional shape including: a first inclined portion continuous from the first main surface; a first arc portion continuous from the first inclined portion and having a radius of curvature; a second inclined portion continuous from the second main surface; a second arc portion continuous from the second inclined portion and having a radius of curvature; and an end portion connecting the first arc portion to the second arc portion. This provides a method for manufacturing a wafer by which a variation in a chamfered cross-sectional shape in a circumferential direction caused by etching can be suppressed.
