This method of manufacturing a silicon wafer has a step of preparing a wafer, in which a surface of the silicon wafer is surface-treated, a step of setting stress, in which the stress S (MPa) subjected on the wafer is set, a step of inspecting, in which a defect on a surface of the wafer is inspected, and a step of determining, in which the wafer is evaluated if the wafer satisfies a criterion. In this method, it is possible to manufacture a wafer with cracking resistance even if it is subjected to a millisecond annealing by the FLA annealing treatment.
