Abstract: A method for slicing an ingot, including: forming a wire row by a wire spirally wound between a plurality of wire guides and configured to travel in an axial direction; and pressing an ingot against the wire row while supplying a contact portion between the ingot and the wire with a slurry from a nozzle, thereby slicing the ingot into wafers. The slurry is supplied such that slurries whose temperatures are separately controlled by two or more lines of heat exchangers are respectively supplied from two or more sections of the nozzle which are orthogonal to a travelling direction of the wire row. Consequently, a wire saw and a method for slicing an ingot are provided which enable separate control of wafer shapes depending on ingot-slicing positions.

Abstract: A method for slicing a workpiece with a wire saw which includes a wire row formed by winding a fixed abrasive grain wire having abrasive grains secured to a surface thereof around multiple grooved rollers, the method including feeding a workpiece to the wire row for slicing while allowing the fixed abrasive grain wire to reciprocatively travel in an axial direction thereof, thereby slicing the workpiece at multiple positions aligned in an axial direction of the workpiece simultaneously. The method includes: supplying a coolant for workpiece slicing onto the wire row when the workpiece is sliced with the fixed abrasive grain wire; and supplying a coolant for workpiece drawing, which differs from and has a higher viscosity than the coolant for workpiece slicing, onto the wire row when the workpiece is drawn out from the wire row after the slicing of the workpiece.
