The surface of diamond-wire sawn wafers is investigated as a function of different wires. The evolution of the pilgrim waves on the wafer surface is correlated with wire movement. Analysis of wafer surfaces indicated that some wires generate lower surface roughness than others, even using the same sawing recipe.
