Abstract

Disclosed is a wafer slicing apparatus which cuts a silicon ingot to fabricate a silicon wafer, and more specifically, a silicon wafer slicing apparatus cutting the silicon ingot using wire discharge machining is disclosed. The present invention provides a silicon wafer slicing apparatus using wire discharge machining comprising: a water tank which contains an electrolyte; a cutting wire which has a cutting section dipped into the water tank and is transferred by a wire driving means; an ingot transferring unit which includes an electrode on which a silicon ingot, an object to be cut, is fixed, and moves the silicon ingot up and down within the cutting section of the cutting wire; an electrolyte circulating means which circulates and refines the electrolyte stored in the water tank; and a power supply unit which supplies a source voltage to the electrode of the ingot transferring unit and the cutting wire.
