PURPOSE:To eliminate influence to the surface of a semiconductor wafer for forming a semiconductor device and to obviate a difficulty of reading a code written by superposition of patterns by forming recesses corresponding to '1' or '0' of a binary code of a plurality of positions arranged at an equal interval on the sidewall of the outer periphery of the wafer. CONSTITUTION:A semiconductor wafer is irradiated with a YAG laser beam to positions A-A, B-B, D-D and E-E of positions A-A, B-B, C-C, D-D, E-E, F-F of equal interval in the circumferential direction of the sidewall 1 after a slicing step, a chamfering step, a mirror-polishing step are ended to form a circular recess 2 or a cut recess 3 by a dicing saw, the recess 2 or 3 is used '1', flat part not formed with the recess 2 or 3 is used as '0'. A binary number of '110110' is indicated from the A to the F. The recess 2 or 3 may be '0' and the flat part may be '1'.

Of the conventional methods mentioned above, the former prints on the surface of the semiconductor wafer on which the semiconductor devices are formed, so the semiconductor devices formed in and around the printed area will be defective, and as the semiconductor device manufacturing process progresses, The disadvantage is that it becomes difficult to distinguish patterns when they are stacked many times over, and the latter is used when reassembling a batch into a form suitable for the semiconductor manufacturing process after unpacking the semiconductor wafer, or during each process in the semiconductor manufacturing process. At this point, there was a drawback that the order was disrupted due to a mix-up of semiconductor wafers, etc., and it became impossible to correspond with the attached characteristic sheet.
