A chamfering apparatus including chamfering part for removing notch, cleaning part for cleaning and drying wafer, and chamfered-shape measuring part for measuring chamfered shape, each of chamfering and cleaning part, and chamfered-shape measuring part including rotatable stage for holding wafer and control unit for controlling rotational positions of rotatable stage and wafer, rotatable stage having reference position serving as reference of rotational positions at beginning of rotation, wherein wafer is held wherein rotational position of wafer at beginning of rotation relative to reference position is at same rotational position on all rotatable stages, and control unit to control rotational position of wafer to be at predetermined position at beginning and end of rotation. As a result, the chamfering apparatus and method for manufacturing notchless wafer allowing appropriate feedback control even in notchless wafer, suppress variation in chamfered shape dimension, and achieve desired cross-sectional shape precision of wafer chamfered portion. |
