A method for manufacturing a semiconductor wafer includes steps of: preparing a peeling object including a single crystal body of a semiconductor having a pair of major surfaces composed of front and back surfaces, the peeling object having a peeling layer provided along at least one of the major surfaces; applying a tensile stress to the peeling object to cause a first major surface and a second major surface to be separated from each other; forming a stress-concentrated region in the peeling layer positioned inside an outer peripheral edge in a radial direction of which the center is a center axis orthogonal to the major surface; and propagating cracks from the stress-concentrated region as a starting point, thereby peeling between a first side portion and a second side portion of the peeling object having the peeling layer interposed therebetween in a direction parallel to the center axis.

COOLING SLICING METHOD FOR GENERATING WAFER

A cooling slicing method for generating wafer includes the following steps: coating a liquid water-soluble medium on an end surface of an ingot and/or a clamping surface of a temperature-controlled clamp, and cooling and solidifying the water-soluble medium under the action of the temperature-controlled clamp to complete fixing of the ingot between a pair of temperature-controlled clamps; and moving at least one temperature-controlled clamp until a modified layer of the ingot is separated, and after peeling is completed, heating and liquefying the solid water-soluble medium under the action of the temperature-controlled clamp to obtain a wafer and remaining ingot. The method has the advantages of high peeling efficiency, saved cleaning process, easy control of peeling conditions, low risk of cracking, simple operation, and suitability for large-scale industrial applications.
