摘要:
The present invention is a method for slicing a workpiece, including: forming a wire row by a wire spirally wound between a plurality of wire guides and traveling in an axial direction, and pressing a workpiece against the wire row while supplying a processing liquid containing abrasive grains to a contact portion between the workpiece and the wire, wherein a used portion of the abrasive grains are subjected to a treatment with a mixed liquid of sulfuric acid and hydrogen peroxide, and the abrasive grains subjected to the treatment are reused for the slicing of a workpiece. This makes it possible to slice a workpiece with suppressing contamination of a wafer with metal impurities when abrasive grains are reused in slicing a workpiece by use of a wire saw.
