Abstract

A method of manufacturing semiconductor wafers includes a double side primary polishing step, a back side etching step and a single side mirror polishing step. This method is capable of easy sensor detection of the front and back sides of the wafer, wafer processing of higher flatness level by forming etched rough surface at the back side of the double side polished wafer and setting up of wafer manufacturing process including a double side polishing step.
