The present invention provides a slicing method comprising winding a wire around a plurality of grooved rollers and pressing the wire against an ingot to be sliced into wafers while supplying a slurry for slicing to the grooved rollers and causing the wire to travel, wherein a cooling speed of the ingot when a slicing depth is equal to or above ⅔ of a diameter is controlled to perform slicing by supplying a slurry for adjusting an ingot temperature to the ingot independently from the slurry for slicing while controlling a supply temperature only in a period from the moment that the slicing depth of the ingot reaches at least ⅔ of the diameter to end of slicing. As a result, the slicing method is provided, in which rapid cooling of the ingot in the time close to end of slicing the ingot can be alleviated when a wire saw is used to slice the ingot, and generation of a nano-topography can be thereby suppressed and further high quality wafers having a uniform thickness are obtained by slicing.
