Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2020239348A1] The invention relates to a method for separating a plurality of slices from workpieces during a number of separating processes by means of a wire saw, which comprises a wire gate formed of moving wire sections of a saw wire, which is clamped between two wire guide rollers, wherein each of the wire guide rollers is mounted between a fixed bearing and a floating bearing. The invention also relates to a semiconductor wafer formed of monocrystalline silicon, which is provided using the method. The method comprises delivering one of the workpieces in the presence of a working fluid during each of the separating processes along a delivery direction against the wire gate in the presence of hard materials, which act abrasively on the workpiece; controlling the temperature of the fixed bearing of the respective wire guide roller during the separating processes according to a temperature profile, which specifies a temperature according to a cutting depth; and a first changing of the temperature profile over the course of the separating processes from a first temperature profile with a constant temperature curve to a second temperature profile that is proportional to the difference between a first average shape profile and a shape profile of a reference slice, wherein the first average shape profile is determined by slices that have been separated according to the first temperature profile.
