The material of the substrate to be polished is, for example, a metal or semi-metal such as silicon, aluminum, tungsten, or copper, an alloy containing these metals as a main component, a glassy material such as glass, glassy carbon, or amorphous carbon, alumina, or carbonized. Examples thereof include ceramic materials such as titanium and silicon dioxide, resins such as polyimide resins, and the like. Among these, when polishing an object to be polished made of a ductile material such as aluminum, nickel, tungsten, copper, and an alloy containing these metals as a main component, particularly a substrate to be polished made of Ni-P plated aluminum. In addition, the use of the polishing composition of the present invention is preferable because generation of surface defects is suppressed and polishing can be performed at a high speed while lowering the surface roughness as compared with the prior art.
[0029]
The shape of the object to be polished is not particularly limited. For example, the polishing liquid composition of the present invention may have a shape having a flat portion such as a disk shape, a plate shape, a slab shape, or a prism shape or a shape having a curved surface portion such as a lens. It becomes the object of polishing using. Among these, it is particularly excellent for polishing a disk-shaped workpiece.
[0030]
The polishing composition of the present invention is particularly suitably used for polishing precision component substrates. For example, it is suitable for polishing a substrate of a magnetic recording medium such as a hard disk, an optical disk or a magneto-optical disk, a semiconductor substrate such as a semiconductor wafer or a semiconductor element, an optical lens, an optical mirror, a half mirror and an optical prism. Among them, it is suitable for polishing a magnetic recording medium substrate and a semiconductor substrate, particularly a hard disk substrate. The polishing of the semiconductor element includes, for example, polishing performed in an interlayer insulating film planarization process, a buried metal wiring formation process, a buried element isolation film formation process, a buried capacitor formation process, and the like. By polishing as described above, a precision component substrate can be manufactured.
[0031]
The polishing composition of the present invention is particularly effective in the polishing process, but can be similarly applied to other polishing processes such as a lapping process.

【Example】
As an abrasive, Knoop hardness 2000, primary average particle size 0.29μm, secondary average particle size 0.56μm α-alumina (purity 99.9%) 10% by weight, alkylsulfonic acid or alkylsulfonic acid salt shown in Table 1 and the balance Water was mixed and stirred to obtain a polishing composition.
[0033]
Using the resulting polishing composition, the surface of an aluminum substrate plated with Ni-P having a center line average roughness Ra of 0.1 μm, a thickness of 0.9 mm, and a diameter of 2.5 inches, measured by the following method, was obtained using a double-sided machine. Polishing was performed under the following setting conditions of the double-sided processing machine to obtain a polished article of a Ni-P plated aluminum substrate used as a hard disk substrate.
[0034]
The setting conditions for the double-sided processing machine are shown below.
Used double-sided machine: Kyoritsu Seiki 6B type double-sided machine Processing pressure: 9.8 kPa
Polishing pad: Polytex DG (Rodel Nitta)
Plate rotation speed: 40r / min
Polishing liquid composition supply flow rate: 30mL / min
Polishing time: 7 min
[0035]
The thickness of the aluminum substrate after polishing was measured, and the rate of thickness reduction was determined from the change in thickness of the aluminum substrate before and after polishing, and the relative velocity (relative value) was determined based on Comparative Example 1. . Further, the center line roughness Ra and surface defects of the surface of each substrate after polishing were measured according to the following methods. Relative roughness (relative value) was determined based on Comparative Example 1. The results are shown in Table 1.
[0036]
[Center line average roughness Ra]
The measurement was performed under the following conditions using a tally step manufactured by Rank Taylor Hobson.
Needle size: 25 μm × 25 μm, high-pass filter: 80 μm,
Measurement length: 0.64mm
[0037]
[Surface defects (scratches)]
Using an optical microscope observation (differential interference microscope), the surface of each substrate was measured at 60 times every 60 degrees at a magnification of 50 times. The depth of the scratch was measured by Zygo (manufactured by Zygo). The evaluation criteria are as follows.
S: 0 scratches / field of view exceeding 50nm depth
A: Average number of scratches exceeding 50nm in depth is less than 0.5 / field of view
B: Scratches exceeding a depth of 50 nm on average 0.5 or more and less than 1 / field of view
C: Scratches exceeding a depth of 50 nm on average 1 line / field of view [0038]
[Table 1]
Figure 0004092021
[0039]
From the results shown in Table 1, when the polishing liquids obtained in Examples 1 to 7 were used, the polishing rate was higher than when the polishing liquids obtained in Comparative Examples 1 and 2 were used. It can be seen that a substrate to be polished having a small surface roughness and few scratches and a good polished surface can be obtained.
[0040]
