Method for producing semiconductor wafer and semiconductor wafer

摘要

The present invention provides a process for manufacturing a semiconductor wafer capable of effectively reducing unevenness having a wavelength of 0.5 mm or more which remains on a surface of the semiconductor wafer after a first polishing step and improving flatness thereof; and a semiconductor wafer manufactured by the manufacturing process. The manufacturing process comprises: plural polishing steps including a first polishing step and a final polishing step; and a corrective polishing step performed after the first polishing step using a polishing cloth harder than that used in the first polishing step.
