WAFER MANUFACTURING METHOD, POLISHING APPARATUS, AND WAFER

摘要

The present invention provides a wafer manufacturing method and a wafer polishing apparatus which enable control of sags in a periphery of a wafer and improvement of nanotopology values thereof that is strongly required recently, and a wafer. In a polishing process for making a mirror surface of the wafer, a back surface of the wafer is polished to produce a reference plane thereof.
