Abstract
A wafer producing method includes a peel-off layer forming step of forming a peel-off layer by positioning a focused spot of a laser beam having a wavelength transmittable through an ingot to a depth corresponding to a thickness of the wafer to be produced from the ingot from a first end surface of the ingot and applying the laser beam to the ingot, a first chamfered portion forming step of forming a first chamfered portion by applying, from the first end surface side to a peripheral surplus region of the wafer, a laser beam having a wavelength absorbable by the wafer, a peeling-off step of peeling off the wafer to be produced, and a second chamfered portion forming step of forming a second chamfered portion by applying, from a peel-off surface side of the wafer, the laser beam having a wavelength absorbable by the wafer.
