Patent ID: 7851375

Claim:
A production method of a semiconductor wafer, comprising: producing a semiconductor wafer by slicing a semiconductor ingot; wrapping both surfaces of the semiconductor wafer; etching both surfaces of the wrapped semiconductor wafer by bringing both surfaces of the wrapped semiconductor wafer in contact with etchant for removing distortion of both surfaces of the wrapped semiconductor wafer; mirror polishing both surfaces of the etched semiconductor wafer; clouding one surface of the mirror polished semiconductor wafer by bringing the one surface in contact with a sodium hydroxide solution, wherein a temperature is 80° C. to 90° C. and weight concentration is 60 wt % to 70 wt %, or a sodium hydroxide solution, wherein a temperature is 85° C. to 90° C. and weight concentration is 55 wt % to 60 wt % and by etching the one surface of the mirror polished semiconductor wafer for lowering a gloss level of the one surface of the mirror polished semiconductor wafer.
