- the outer peripheral surface of the back surface and the chamfered surface on the back surface side were polished, and then the wafer front and back surfaces were reversed and adsorbed to the holder, and then the surface side chamfered surface was polished.
- the chamfered outer peripheral surface was polished using a cylindrical puff.
- Polishing was performed under the same conditions as in Example 1 except that the polishing load was 12 kgf (Example 2), 6 kgf (Example 3), and the polishing time was 30 sec (Example 2) and 20 sec (Example 3). .
- Example 2 the same silicon wafer as in Example 1 was polished under the following conditions using a conventional polishing apparatus as shown in FIG.
- Polishing cloth Suba400 (manufactured by Kuchi Dale), Asker C hardness 61, thickness 1.27mm
- the back side chamfered surface was polished under the above polishing conditions, and then the wafer front and back surfaces were reversed and adsorbed to the holder, and then the front side chamfered surface was polished.
- Example 3 a silicon wafer similar to that in Example 1 was polished under the same conditions except that a conventional polishing apparatus having no back surface polishing portion on the polishing cloth as shown in FIG. 4 was used. [0044] (Comparative Example 3)
- Example 2 Using the method shown in Fig. 5, the same silicon wafer as in Example 1 was stacked through a salty vinyl spacer having a diameter of 297 mm and a thickness of 1 mm, and a 5% hydrofluoric acid solution was added. It was immersed for 3 minutes to remove the oxide film on the chamfer.
- a silicon thin film was grown on the surface of the silicon wafer subjected to the treatments of Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3 by an epitaxy method.
- the thickness of the oxide film on the outer periphery of the back surface of these silicon wafers was measured with an interference fringe film thickness measuring instrument (TFM120: manufactured by Oak Manufacturing Co., Ltd.). The results are shown in Fig. 7. As is clear from FIG. 7, in Examples 1 to 3, the distance from the outermost peripheral portion of the back surface of the wafer is at least 2 mm (about 3 mm in Example 1) by polishing, and the outer surface is gently pushed outward. In addition, the oxide film thickness has decreased, and at the outermost periphery of the back surface, the original oxide film thickness (350 nm) force has decreased by 50 nm or more! /.
- TFM120 interference fringe film thickness measuring instrument
- the thickness of the oxide film is only slightly reduced by polishing only at the position force distance of about lmm from the outermost periphery of the back surface due to polishing. The decrease in thickness is less than 50 nm.
- the oxide film is completely removed up to a position where the distance from the outermost periphery of the back surface is 1.5 mm.
- the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment.
- the above-described embodiment is merely an example, and any device that has substantially the same configuration as the technical idea described in the claims of the present invention and has the same operational effects can be obtained. Are also included in the technical scope of the present invention.
