Abstract
Provided is a method of double-side polishing a wafer by which variations of the GBIR values of polished wafers between batches can be reduced. In the method of double-side polishing a wafer, a current batch includes measuring the center thickness of the wafer before polishing (S100); setting a target GBIR value within a predetermined range (S110); calculating a polishing time of the current batch based on Formula (1) (S120); and polishing both surfaces of the wafer for the calculated polishing time (S130).Polishing time of current batch=polishing time of previous batch+×(center thickness of wafer before polishing in previous batch−center thickness of wafer before polishing in current batch)+×(GBIR value of wafer after polishing in previous batch−target GBIR value)+  (1),
