Abstract

By removing residual mechanical stress generated during processing, wafers can be manufactured while suppressing deformation and cracking of the wafer even if the wafer is a large-diameter wafer. A method for manufacturing a wafer, includes: a slicing step (S10) for slicing an ingot to obtain a wafer; a double-sided simultaneous grinding step (S20) for roughly grinding the cut surfaces of each wafer; a chamfering step (S22) for chamfering the edge portion of the wafer; a double-sided simultaneous processing step for simultaneously processing both faces of the wafer so as to remove residual mechanical stress generated on the both faces thereof due to the slicing step and the double-sided grinding step; a single-sided finishing step for separately performing finishing processing on at least one face of the wafer; and a cleaning step for cleaning the wafer.
