Abstract

Provided is a double-sided polishing method of a wafer in which the wafer, which has been set in a wafer loading hole of the carrier, is compressed and held along with the carrier with an upper platen and a lower platen and the upper platen and the lower platen are rotated while supplying slurry to the wafer. The method includes: previously measuring an inclination value of a main surface of each of a plurality of carriers in the vicinity of the edge of the wafer loading hole; selecting, from among the plurality of carriers, those for which the inclination value is equal to or smaller than a threshold based on the measurement results of the inclination value; and applying the double-sided polishing to a wafer using the selected carrier.
