- the present invention relates to a method for producing a glass substrate for use in a magnetic recording medium such as a hard disk.
- a glass substrate for use in a magnetic recording medium such as a hard disk (HD) incorporated in a hard disk drive (HDD) is a glass melting process for melting a glass material, and by pressing the molten glass material with a mold. Press forming process for producing a disk-shaped glass substrate, coring process for forming a circular hole at the center of the obtained glass substrate, and grinding the main surface (recording surface) of the obtained annular glass substrate to obtain a glass substrate First lapping step for preliminarily adjusting the thickness, flatness, etc. of the glass, end surface grinding step for finely adjusting the outer diameter, roundness, etc.
- a chemical strengthening process for strengthening the surface of the glass substrate an inspection process for inspecting the thickness, flatness, etc. of the glass substrate may be performed.
- the inner peripheral end surface and the outer peripheral end surface of the glass substrate may be chamfered in, for example, an end surface grinding process. There is (the surface formed by chamfering is called chamfer surface).
- the polishing process performed at the final stage of manufacturing the glass substrate is generally performed using a double-side polishing apparatus, whether it is a rough polishing process or a precision polishing process.
- the double-side polishing apparatus includes a cylindrical upper surface plate and a lower surface plate whose opposing surfaces are parallel to the rotation surface of the carrier, which will be described next, and whose rotation directions are opposite to each other.
- a polishing pad for polishing the main surface of the glass substrate is attached to the opposing surface of each surface plate.
- On the polishing pad of the lower surface plate a plurality of disk-shaped carriers that revolve with respect to the rotation center of the lower surface plate while rotating are installed.
- a plurality of circular holes are formed in the carrier, and one glass substrate is loosely fitted into each circular hole.
- the carrier and the glass substrate are sandwiched between the polishing pads on the upper and lower surface plates, and each surface plate and each carrier rotate in this state (the surface plate and the carrier all move relative to each other). At this time, the polishing liquid is supplied between the polishing pad and the glass substrate, and the glass substrate is polished.
- the polishing pad is provided with a concave groove for supplying a polishing liquid between the polishing pad and the glass substrate.
- JP 2010-115717 A (paragraph 0013)
- the main surface may be flat to the boundary between the inner peripheral end surface and / or the outer peripheral end surface.
- the inner peripheral end surface and / or the outer peripheral end surface are chamfered to form a chamfer surface, it is required that the main surface is flat up to the boundary with the chamfer surface.
- the corner between the surfaces (sometimes referred to as “main surface corner” for convenience) needs to have an edge. This is because when the corner of the main surface is worn and the edge is removed, the flat portion of the main surface is reduced and the recording capacity is reduced. For this reason, in the production of the glass substrate, it is desired to suppress the wear of the main surface corners to the end.

In the course of this movement, the glass substrate a may cross the concave groove g formed in the pad surface f (see arrow). As shown in FIG. 7A, when the glass substrate a slides on the pad surface f without sinking into the polishing pad e, the main surface corner portion X is recessed when the glass substrate a crosses the groove g. There is no contact with the side surface h of the groove. However, normally, since the pressure is applied to the glass substrate a from the polishing pad e, the glass substrate a is sinking into the polishing pad e as shown in FIG.

- the portion that first contacts the side surface h of the groove receives a large impact.
- the main surface corner portion X is worn and an edge is taken, the main surface corner portion X is rounded, and the end surface shape of the finally obtained glass substrate a becomes poor.
- the problem that the main surface corner portion X first contacts the side surface h of the concave groove is that the load distribution from the polishing pad e to the glass substrate a is uneven because, for example, the flatness of the facing surface of the surface plate is low. Further, it may be caused by the glass substrate a being inclined not parallel to the pad surface f. Further, the problem that the main surface corner portion X first contacts the side surface h of the concave groove when the glass substrate a crosses the concave groove g is a problem that tends to occur mainly on the outer peripheral end surface of the glass substrate a.

- TIR is an index representing the flatness of the glass substrate, and is a total value of the distance from the least square plane of the evaluation surface to the highest point and the distance from the least square plane to the lowest point. The highest point and the lowest point are obtained from the measured values for one round in the circumferential direction at a radius of 25 mm on the evaluation surface.
- Example 1 the non-defective product rate at the corners of the main surface was 90%, and the non-defective product rate at the flatness was 89%. From this, it was found that in Example 1, the wear of the main surface corner portion was sufficiently suppressed, and the area of the main surface (recording surface) of the glass substrate could be made sufficiently large.
- Example 2 In Example 2, the second polishing step and the cleaning step were performed in the same manner as in Example 1 except that the groove side surface angle ⁇ p of the groove for supplying the polishing liquid was set to 30 °. The flatness was evaluated. As a result, the non-defective product rate at the main surface corner portion was 92%, and the non-defective product rate at the flatness was 87%. From this, it was found that also in Example 2, the wear of the main surface corner portion was sufficiently suppressed, and the area of the main surface (recording surface) of the glass substrate could be made sufficiently large.
- Comparative Example 1 In Comparative Example 1, except that the groove side angle ⁇ p of the groove for supplying the polishing liquid is 50 °, that is, the condition of 10 ° ⁇ ⁇ p and the condition of ⁇ d ⁇ 80 ° are satisfied, but the condition of ⁇ p ⁇ d is satisfied. Otherwise, the second polishing step and the cleaning step were performed in the same manner as in Example 1, and the evaluation of the main surface corner and the flatness were performed. As a result, the non-defective product rate at the main surface corner portion was 78%, and the non-defective product rate at the flatness was 88%. From this, it was found that in Comparative Example 1, the wear of the main surface corner portion was not sufficiently suppressed. This is considered to be because the corner portion of the principal surface first contacted the side surface of the concave groove in the second polishing step because the condition of ⁇ p ⁇ d was not satisfied.
- Comparative Example 2 In Comparative Example 2, except that the groove side angle ⁇ p of the groove for supplying the polishing liquid is 8 °, that is, the condition of ⁇ p ⁇ d and the condition of ⁇ d ⁇ 80 ° are satisfied, but the condition of 10 ° ⁇ ⁇ p is satisfied. Otherwise, the second polishing step and the cleaning step were performed in the same manner as in Example 1, and the evaluation of the main surface corner and the flatness were performed. As a result, the non-defective product rate at the corners of the main surface was 87%, and the non-defective product rate at the flatness was 72%. From this, it was found that in Comparative Example 2, the flatness of the glass substrate was lowered. This is considered because the condition of 10 ° ⁇ ⁇ p was not satisfied and the polishing liquid in the groove was not supplied well toward the pad surface.
- the present invention has wide industrial applicability in the technical field of the method of manufacturing a glass substrate for a magnetic recording medium.

Abstract
Description
図1に示した製造工程に従い、下記の組成(質量%)のガラス素材を用いて、ガラス溶融工程(S1)、プレス成形工程(S2)、コアリング工程(S3)、第1ラッピング工程(S4)、端面研削工程(S5)、端面研磨工程(S6)、第2ラッピング工程(S7)及び第1ポリッシング工程(S8)を行い、外径が約65mm(2.5インチ)、内径(円孔の径)が約20mmの環状のアルミノシリケート製ガラス基板を作製した。チャンファ面は、チャンファ面角度θdが45°、面取り長さが0.15mmとなるように形成した。
・SiO2:50~70%
・Al2O3:0~20%
・B2O3:0~5%
図3~5に示したような両面研磨装置を用い、得られたガラス基板の精密研磨を行った。研磨パッドは、研磨層が発泡ポリウレタンからなるスウェードタイプの軟質研磨パッド(アスカーC硬度:78)を用いた。研磨液は、コロイダルシリカ(平均粒子径:20nm)を砥粒として含む研磨液を用いた。研磨液供給用凹溝は、格子状のパターンに形成されたものを用いた。溝ピッチは40mm、溝幅は3mmとした。1バッチ100枚のガラス基板をキャリアにセットし、研磨量0.5μm、研磨時間20分の条件で、主面の精密研磨を行った。
実施例1は、研磨液供給用凹溝の凹溝側面角度θpを40°とした。つまり、10°≦θp<θd≦80°の条件を満足して、第2ポリッシング工程を行った(θdは45°)。フィルタリングした純水を用いて洗浄工程を行った後、得られたガラス基板の主面とチャンファ面との間の角部(主面角部)の評価、及び、得られたガラス基板の平坦度の評価を行った。
実施例2は、研磨液供給用凹溝の凹溝側面角度θpを30°とした他は、実施例1と同様にして、第2ポリッシング工程及び洗浄工程を行い、主面角部の評価及び平坦度の評価を行った。その結果、主面角部の良品率は92%、平坦度の良品率は87%であった。このことから、実施例2もまた、主面角部の磨耗が十分に抑制され、ガラス基板の主面(記録面)の面積を十分に大きくとれることが分かった。
比較例1は、研磨液供給用凹溝の凹溝側面角度θpを50°とした他は、つまり、10°≦θpの条件及びθd≦80°の条件は満足するが、θp<θdの条件は満足しなかった他は、実施例1と同様にして、第2ポリッシング工程及び洗浄工程を行い、主面角部の評価及び平坦度の評価を行った。その結果、主面角部の良品率は78%、平坦度の良品率は88%であった。このことから、比較例1は、主面角部の磨耗が十分には抑制されなかったことが分かった。これは、θp<θdの条件を満足しなかったため、第2ポリッシング工程で、主面角部が凹溝の側面に最初に接触したからと考察される。
比較例2は、研磨液供給用凹溝の凹溝側面角度θpを8°とした他は、つまり、θp<θdの条件及びθd≦80°の条件は満足するが、10°≦θpの条件は満足しなかった他は、実施例1と同様にして、第2ポリッシング工程及び洗浄工程を行い、主面角部の評価及び平坦度の評価を行った。その結果、主面角部の良品率は87%、平坦度の良品率は72%であった。このことから、比較例2は、ガラス基板の平坦度が低下したことが分かった。これは、10°≦θpの条件を満足しなかったため、凹溝内の研磨液がパッド面に向けて良好に供給されなかったからと考察される。
