Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an indirect evaluation method by which the quality of a gettering layer formed on a backside of a wafer can be more easily and correctly confirmed compared to the conventional method. SOLUTION: The indirect quality evaluation method for a gettering layer has a sandblasting step of striking sandblasts against a front surface of the wafer to form shot marks, a cleaning step of cleaning the front surface of the wafer, and a measuring step of measuring the in-plane distribution and density of shot marks on the front surface of the wafer using a particle counter.
