<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for machining a nitride semiconductor wafer which causes no significant warpage and cracking when a nitride semiconductor crystal is subjected to back grinding, outer periphery grinding (chamfer), and surface grinding/polishing to manufacture a mirror wafer , and can obtain a high substrate production yield, and a high device in-plane yield. <P>SOLUTION: The outer peripheral portion of a nitride semiconductor wafer is chamfered using a rubber grinding stone or a resin foam bonded grinding stone comprising 0-40 wt.% of oxide abrasive grains, thereby allowing a work-reformed layer having a thickness of 0.5 μm-10 μm to remain on the outer peripheral portion. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
