It is an object of the present invention to provide a wafer release method capable of releasing a wafer safely, simply and certainly and improving a wafer releasing rate, a wafer release apparatus and a wafer release transfer machine using the wafer release apparatus. A wafer release method of the present invention comprises the steps of: pressing the uppermost wafer along an axis direction (L-L') shifted by an angle in the range of from 15 to 75 degrees from a crystal habit line axis (A-A') or (B-B') of the uppermost wafer clockwise or counterclockwise; bending upwardly the peripheral portion of the uppermost wafer so as to cause a bending stress in the uppermost wafer in the axis direction (L-L') shifted by the angle; blowing a fluid into a clearance between the lower surface of the uppermost wafer and the upper surface of the lower wafer adjacent thereto; and raising the uppermost wafer for releasing.

A water-soluble cutting fluid is produced by dissolving a polymer fatty acid triglyceride imidazole, 2-methyl-1-stearate, and boric acid imidazole in the dispersion of inorganic bentonite in water thereby preparing a main component and adding oleic acid (agent for enhancing the lubricity), Na salt of ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (metallic ion adsorbent), benzotriazole (rust-preventing auxiliary agent), and a silicone type defoaming agent to the main component.

The present invention is a method for reclaiming a silicon wafer in which a thin film has been formed on its surface, at least, comprising a thin-film removing step for removing the thin film having been formed on the silicon wafer and a mirror-polishing step for mirror-polishing at least one side of the thin-film-removed silicon wafer, wherein, before performing the mirror-polishing step, gettering-site forming treatment for applying damage load to at least one side of the silicon wafer is performed and then the silicon wafer is subjected to heat treatment, thereby impurities inside the silicon wafer are reduced. Thereby, there is provided a method for reclaiming a silicon wafer, in which a thin film such as a metal thin film having been formed on a silicon wafer can be removed, and impurities having diffused inside the wafer can be also reduced, thereby silicon wafers having very little metal contamination can be stably obtained.

Provided is a wafer rotary holding apparatus by which a reduced pressure is created on an upper surface of a rotary disk by a simple and easy-to-make mechanism with no need of any of a vacuum source apparatus, a compressed air supply apparatus, a compressed gas supply apparatus and other apparatuses in use; a wafer can be held while rotating with no contact to a rear surface thereof; a degree of pressure reduction can be adjusted with ease and even a thin wafer (of 0.1 mm or less in thickness) can be held while rotating with no deformation; and the wafer with a bowing can be held while rotating with no correction of the bowing. A wafer rotary holding apparatus includes: a rotary disk on which a fluid flow path is formed; a through hole formed in a central section of the rotary disk; and a plurality of wafer rests provided on an upper surface of the rotary disk.

A wire saw 22 for slicing a semiconductor single crystal ingot G with which alignment of the crystallographic orientation of the ingot G is simple and easy in a slicing process and a method for slicing the ingot G by means of the wire saw 22. Main rollers 24a, 24b, 24c are three-dimensionally arranged with a predetermined distance between each other, and a wire 28 runs over the main rollers 24a, 24b, 24c to form arrays of wire portions parallel to each other, with said wire saw 22 an ingot G being sliced into rods R by pressing it to an array of wire portions between a pair of main rollers 24b, 24c that are used to slice the ingot G, while the wire 28 is being driven and slurry is fed to the array of wire portions between the pair of main rollers 24b, 24c, wherein the wire 28 runs over the pair of main rollers 24b, 24c used for slicing in a ratio of one turn over the pair of main rollers 24b, 24c to more than one turn over the other main roller 24a or rollers 24a 24d so that the array of wire portions running over the pair of main rollers 24b, 24c used for slicing can be arranged at a desired pitch.

A system for reusing water soluble slurry waste fluid wherein separated available abrasive grains and extracted water soluble coolant are reused. This system is capable of reducing a disposal cost due to a reduction of a load to a waste water disposal plant by effectively reusing water soluble slurry waste fluid, and making a contribution to a reduction of a total slicing cost by reusing abrasive grains and water soluble coolant.
