Abstract
Description
本発明は、基板の製造方法及びナノスクラッチの低減方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a substrate and a method for reducing nanoscratches.
近年のメモリーハードディスクドライブには、高容量・小径化が求められ、記録密度を上げるために磁気ヘッドの浮上量を低下させて、単位記録面積を小さくすることが求められている。それに伴い、磁気ディスク用基板の製造工程においても研磨後に要求される表面品質は年々厳しくなってきており、ヘッドの低浮上化に対応して、表面粗さ、微小うねり、ロールオフ及びピットや突起を低減する必要があり、また、単位記録面積の減少に対応して、許容される基板面当たりのスクラッチ数は少なく、その大きさと深さはますます小さくなってきている。 Recent memory hard disk drives are required to have a high capacity and a small diameter, and in order to increase the recording density, the flying height of the magnetic head is reduced to reduce the unit recording area. Along with this, the surface quality required after polishing in the manufacturing process of magnetic disk substrates has become stricter year by year, and the surface roughness, micro waviness, roll-off, pits and protrusions correspond to the low flying height of the head. In addition, the number of scratches per substrate surface that can be tolerated is small, and the size and depth thereof are becoming smaller and smaller corresponding to the decrease in the unit recording area.
また、半導体分野においても、高集積化と高速化が進んでおり、特に高集積化では配線の微細化が要求されている。その結果、半導体基板の製造プロセスにおいては、フォトレジストの露光の際の焦点深度が浅くなり、より一層欠陥の少ない表面品質が望まれている。 Also in the semiconductor field, high integration and high speed are advancing. In particular, miniaturization of wiring is required for high integration. As a result, in the manufacturing process of a semiconductor substrate, the depth of focus at the time of exposure of a photoresist becomes shallow, and surface quality with fewer defects is desired.
このような要求に対して、メモリーハードディスク基板のピットや突起を低減することにより表面平滑性を向上させる研磨液組成物が知られている（特許文献１）。
しかし、メモリーハードディスク基板や半導体基板等の精密部品基板の高密度化又は高集積化に必要な表面品質を達成するためには、ピットや突起の低減の他、ナノスクラッチの低減も重要な課題となっている。 However, in order to achieve the surface quality required for high density or high integration of precision component substrates such as memory hard disk substrates and semiconductor substrates, in addition to reducing pits and protrusions, reducing nanoscratches is also an important issue. It has become.
従って、本発明の目的は、研磨後の基板のナノスクラッチを顕著に低減できる基板の製造方法及びナノスクラッチの低減方法を提供することにある。 Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing a substrate and a method for reducing nanoscratches that can significantly reduce nanoscratches of a substrate after polishing.
即ち、本発明の要旨は、
［１］ コロイダルシリカと、酸又はその塩とを含有する研磨液組成物を基板又は研磨パッドに供給して該基板を研磨する工程を有する基板の製造方法であって、基板又は研磨パッドに供給される際の研磨液組成物中のアルミニウム濃度が５０ｐｐｍ以下である基板の製造方法、及び
［２］ コロイダルシリカと、酸又はその塩とを含有する研磨液組成物を基板又は研磨パッドに供給して該基板を研磨する工程を有するナノスクラッチの低減方法であって、基板又は研磨パッドに供給される際の研磨液組成物中のアルミニウム濃度が５０ｐｐｍ以下であるナノスクラッチの低減方法

For example, it is suitable for polishing a magnetic disk medium such as a memory hard disk substrate, a magnetic recording medium substrate such as an optical disk and a magneto-optical disk, a precision component substrate such as a photomask substrate, an optical lens, an optical mirror, an optical prism, and a semiconductor substrate.

《Quantitative method of Al》
The Al concentration in the polishing liquid composition and the polishing liquid composition collected immediately before supply to the substrate or the polishing pad is obtained by dissolving the polishing liquid composition with hydrofluoric acid and nitric acid, and hindering the determination of Al such as silica. After the element was removed, it was quantitatively determined using a quadrupole type inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP mass spectrometer: Seiko Instruments Inc., trade name: SPQ-8000).
表２に示される通り、実施例１〜５で得られた基板は、Ａｌ濃度が高い研磨液組成物を用いた比較例１〜４で得られた基板に比べ、ナノスクラッチが少ないものであることがわかる。
また、研磨液組成物中のコロイダルシリカに対するアルミニウムの含有量比が小さいと、ナノスクラッチが少なくなる傾向にあることがわかる。
また、研磨廃液のｐＨが低いと、ナノスクラッチが少なくなる傾向にあることがわかる。
As shown in Table 2, the substrates obtained in Examples 1 to 5 have less nano scratches than the substrates obtained in Comparative Examples 1 to 4 using a polishing composition having a high Al concentration. I understand that.
It can also be seen that when the content ratio of aluminum to colloidal silica in the polishing composition is small, nanoscratches tend to decrease.
It can also be seen that when the polishing waste liquid has a low pH, nanoscratches tend to decrease.
