Title:
SEMICONDUCTOR WAFER
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2020/179184
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present description provides a technology by which it is possible to reliably detect a marker such as an orientation flat or a notch. This semiconductor wafer is transparent or semitransparent. An inclined surface is provided between a first principal surface and a side surface of the semiconductor wafer. The angle between a reference plane, in which the principal surface extends toward the inclined surface, and the inclined surface is sin-1 (1/Nw) or more (Nw is the refractive index of the semiconductor wafer). When light is emitted from a direction perpendicular to a second principal surface, the incident light is totally reflected by the inclined surface. When the semiconductor wafer is photographed from the side of the inclined surface, a region corresponding to the inclined surface appears as a shadow, and thus the marker can be reliably detected.
