Patent ID: 8210906

Claim:
A slicing method comprising: winding a wire around a plurality of grooved rollers, pressing the wire against an ingot to be sliced into wafers while supplying a slurry for slicing to the grooved rollers and causing the wire to travel, wherein a test of slicing the ingot while supplying the slurry to the grooved rollers and controlling a supply temperature thereof is previously conducted to examine a relationship between an axial displacement of the grooved rollers and a supply temperature of the slurry, a supply temperature profile of the slurry is set based on the relationship between an axial displacement of the grooved rollers and a supply temperature of the slurry, and the slurry is supplied based on the supply temperature profile such that the ingot is sliced while controlling an axial displacement of the grooved rollers, and the resultant wafers of the ingot are bowed in a uniform direction.
