240492 1
POLISHING COMPOSITION FOR MAGNETIC DISK
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a polishing composition for a magnetic disk, a polishing process with the polishing composition, and a method for manufacturing a substrate with the polishing composition.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
In order to have a smaller unit recording area and promote higher storage capacity for hard disk drives, it has been desired to lower the flying height of the magnetic head and prevent surface defects (surface stains). In order to lower the flying height of the magnetic head, there have been earnestly desired a reduction of short-wavelength waviness (waviness having a wavelength of 50 to 500 m) and a reduction of long-wavelength waviness (waviness having a wavelength of 0.5 mm or more), and prevention of residual substances on the surface during the polishing step of the hard disk substrate. The "waviness" as used herein refers to dents and projections of a surface having a wavelength longer than that of roughness, and can be determined by using optical instruments represented by "Zygo" commercially available from Canon Sales Inc. In order to manufacture a substrate with reduced waviness and surface stains as described above, mechanical conditions such as the pore size control of a polishing pad, hardness control, polishing load during polishing and control of the number of rotations have been studied. However, although the mechanical conditions as mentioned above have some effects, they cannot be said to be satisfactory. On the other hand, an approach from a polishing composition has been studied. Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2003-14733 discloses a polishing composition containing an oxidizing agent, a phosphorus-containing inorganic acid, and other organic acid. Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. Hei 11-246849 discloses a slurry for a polishing step, containing abrasive particles, hydrogen peroxide, a metal nitrate and nitric acid. However, the approaches from these polishing compositions cannot be satisfactory from the viewpoint of satisfying both the polishing rate and reduction in waviness necessary for practical use, and also the prevention of surface stains.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to the followings: [1] a polishing composition for a magnetic disk, containing alumina, water, a peroxide and an organic acid; [2] a polishing process of a substrate to be polished, including the step of polishing the substrate to be polished with the polishing composition of the above [1]; and [3] a method for manufacturing a substrate, including the step of polishing a substrate to be polished with the polishing composition of the above [1].
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a polishing composition capable of having a high polishing rate and reduced waviness. Also, the present invention relates to a polishing process for, for instance, reducing waviness of a substrate to be polished with the polishing composition; and a method for manufacturing a substrate with the polishing composition.
These and other advantages of the present invention will be apparent from
the following description.
By using the polishing composition of the present invention for the polishing of a magnetic disk, there are exhibited some effects that a high polishing rate and reduction in waviness of an object to be polished can be accomplished, and defects in a substrate, especially stains on a substrate can be reduced. Also, there are provided a polishing process for reducing waviness of a substrate to be polished with the polishing composition, and a method for manufacturing a substrate with the polishing composition.
One of the significant features of the polishing composition of the present invention resides in the combined use of an organic acid and a peroxide as polishing accelerators of the polishing composition, wherein an alumina is used as an abrasive. By using the polishing composition having the above features, a remarkable effect is exhibited such as achievement of a high polishing rate, reduction in waviness of a substrate to be polished, and sufficient reduction in surface defects such as scratches and pits, especially surface stains.
The details of the functional mechanism for polishing with the polishing composition of the present invention may not be certain. Although not wanting to be limited by theory, it is presumed that the lower the pH of the polishing composition during polishing, the higher the polishing rate, so that an etching effect on an object to be polished is caused by the hydrogen ion generated by the acid, whereby the polishing is accelerated. Accordingly, the higher the acid strength, the higher the polishing rate. In addition, the peroxide changes the surface of the object to be polished so that the polishing effect of the alumina is satisfactorily exhibited, thereby increasing the above-mentioned etching effect.
Consequently, the waviness can be reduced at the processing speed on the actual manufacturing level. Although not wanting to be limited by theory, it is presumed that the amplifying effect by the combination of the organic acid and the peroxide is simultaneously connected to the reduction of the substrate defect, especially the reduction of substrate stains.
The polishing composition of the present invention contains an alumina as an abrasive. As the alumina preferable in the present invention, the alumina has a purity as alumina of preferably 95% or more, more preferably 97% or more, and even more preferably 99% of more, from the viewpoints of reducing the waviness, reducing the surface roughness, increasing the polishing rate and preventing the surface defects.

Among these intermediate aluminas, y-alumina, 6-alumina, O-alumina, and mixtures thereof are preferable, from the viewpoints of increasing the polishing rate and reducing the waviness, and y alumina and O-alumina are more preferable.

The average primary particle size of the abrasive may be obtained by subjecting the abrasive to an image analysis by observing with a scanning electron microscope (preferably from 3000 to 30000 times) or a transmission electron microscope (preferably from 10000 to 300000 times), and determining the particle size.

The polishing composition of the present invention is especially effective in the polishing step, and the polishing composition can be similarly applied to other steps than this, for instance, the lapping step, and the like.

Preparation of Polishing Composition Given amounts of alumina (average secondary particle size: 0.2 1lm, purity: about 99.9%), a peroxide, an organic acid, other additives as shown in Table 1, and balance ion- exchanged water were formulated while stirring, to give a polishing composition.
2. Polishing Process Each of the polishing compositions obtained in the Examples and Comparative Examples was evaluated for its polishing properties by polishing a Ni-P plated, aluminum alloy substrate having a thickness of 1.27 mm, and a diameter of 3.5 inch (95 mm) (shortwavelength waviness: 3.8 nm and long wavelength waviness: 1.6 nm, as determined by Zygo New-View 200), using a double-sided processing machine under the following setting conditions, to give an object to be polished made of Ni-P plated aluminum alloy substrate usable as a substrate for a magnetic recording medium.
The setting conditions for the double-sided processing machine are as follows.
<Setting Conditions for Double-Sided Processing Machine] Double-sided processing machine: Model 9B, commercially available from SPEEDFAM CO., LTD.

Feeding amount for a polishing composition: 100 ml/min Polishing time period: 4 min. Number of substrates introduced: 10 3. Evaluation Methods (1) Polishing Rate Weights of each substrate before and after polishing were measured using a device commercially available from Sartorius under the trade name of BP-210S.
Change in weight of each substrate was obtained, and an average of 10 substrates was referred to as an amount reduced, and a value obtained by dividing the amount reduced by the polishing time is referred to as a rate of weight reduced.
The rate of weight reduced is introduced into the following equation and converted to a polishing rate (pm/min). A relative value of a polishing rate (relative rate) for each of the Examples and Comparative Examples was obtained, assuming that the polishing rate of Comparative Example 1 takes a standard value of 1.
Rate of Weight Reduced (g/min) = [Weight Before Polishing (g) - Weight After Polishing (g)]/ Polishing Time (min) Polishing Rate (pm/min) = Rate of Weight Reduced (g/min)/Area of One Side of Substrate (mm2)/Ni-P Plating Density (g/cm3) x 1000000 (2) Waviness The waviness of each substrate after the polishing was determined for short-wavelength waviness and long-wavelength waviness at two points of 180 intervals (total of 4 points) under the conditions mentioned below.
