Abstract

In a double side simultaneous grinding machine, in which a plate-like workpiece is held and ground simultaneously on both a front surface and a back surface using a pair of grinding stones provided oppositely at both sides of the workpiece, a relative position between at least one of the center of thickness of the plate-like workpiece and the center of the holding means for holding the workpiece, and the center between stone surfaces of the pair of grinding stones is controlled during grinding. In a double side simultaneous grinding method, the generation of warpage of the plate-like workpiece is suppressed and degradation of warpage is prevented. Thereby, the plate-like workpiece can be processed to have high flatness on both sides. Further, the plate-like workpiece can be ground while a degree of warpage is controlled so that the workpiece is processed to have a warpage of a desired degree.
