The present invention is a method for polishing a silicon wafer, in which an oxide film is formed on a back surface side of the wafer, wherein the oxide film on a chamfered portion of the silicon wafer is removed, and the oxide film on a peripheral portion of the back surface of the wafer is polished over at least 2 mm from the outermost peripheral portion of the back surface of the wafer so that a thickness of the polished oxide film decreases from inside to outside of the wafer, a method for producing such a silicon wafer, and a silicon wafer. Thereby, there are provided a method for polishing a silicon wafer in which particles' attaching to a wafer surface after handling can be prevented, decrease of resistivity due to autodoping is not brought about, and moreover, productivity does not decrease; a method for producing such a silicon wafer; an apparatus for polishing a disk-shaped workpiece suitable for performing the methods; and a silicon wafer in which particles do not attach to a surface after handling even if an oxide film is formed on a back surface of the wafer and decrease of resistivity due to autodoping is not brought about. |
