Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2127810A1] A method of grinding semiconductor wafers including simultaneously grinding both surfaces of multiple semiconductor wafers being ground by rotating the multiple semiconductor wafers between a pair of upper and lower rotating surface plates in a state where the multiple wafers are held on a carrier so that centers of the multiple wafers are positioned on a circumference of a single circle, wherein a ratio of an area of a circle passing through the centers of the multiple wafers to an area of one of the multiple wafers is greater than or equal to 1.33 but less than 2.0; a rotational speed of the multiple wafers falls within a range of 5 to 80 rpm; and the grinding of the multiple wafers with the rotating surface plates are conducted with fixed abrasive grains in the presence of an alkali solution.
