ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a method of improving nanotopography of a surface of a wafer sliced from an ingot by using a wire saw apparatus, including improving straightness of feed of a work feed table which is included in the wire saw apparatus and used for feeding the ingot to a wire row formed by winding a wire around a plurality of rollers, and also provides a wire saw apparatus for slicing an ingot to manufacture a wafer, including: a wire row formed by winding a wire around a plurality of rollers; a work feed table for holding and feeding the ingot to the wire row; and a linear-motion guide for linearly guiding the work feed table, wherein a component having a wavelength of 20 to 200 mm in straightness of feed of the work feed table satisfies a PV value ≦1.0 μm. As a result, there are provided the method of eliminating slice waviness having periodicity to improve the nanotopography of the surface of the wafer and the wire saw apparatus.
