To provide an apparatus and method for machining a planar surface of a wafer, capable of improving throughput without damaging the wafer.
In the apparatus for machining planar surface 10, a grinding stage 22 is set on a body 12, on which a rough grinding stage 18 and a finishing grinding stage 20 are set, and rough grinding, finish grinding, and polishing of a wafer 28 are implemented in the identical apparatus for machining the planar surface 10. A cleaning stage 23 for cleaning a polishing cloth 56 of the polishing stage 22 set in the apparatus for machining the planar surface 10 cleans the polishing cloth 56 in the identical apparatus 10, when it is smeared. A set of an etching apparatus 150 in the apparatus for machining planar surface 10 enables a series of planar machining from rough grinding to etching to be processed using a single apparatus.
