する。[0003] First, in an aluminum rolled plate process, an aluminum raw material is melted and cast, which is hot rolled to a plate thickness of about 5 mm, and then cold rolled to finish it to a predetermined thickness. The rolled aluminum plate is coiled and transferred to a blanking process. In the blanking process, an aluminum disk made by punching an aluminum rolled plate to a predetermined inner and outer diameter is sandwiched between iron or aluminum spacers, and annealed while applying pressure to eliminate warpage, undulation and distortion of the plate I do. Then, a blank is manufactured by adjusting the dimensions of the inner and outer diameters and adjusting the shape of the inner and outer circumferences.

Then, cleaning is performed to remove abrasive grains and dirt attached to the blank surface to obtain a substrate. In the Ni-P plating process, as pretreatment, degreasing (removal of oils and fats on the substrate surface with a non-erosive degreasing agent), etching (removal of a non-uniform natural protective film), and zinc substitution treatment (substitution using substitution reaction) Formation of a zinc film on the straight surface).

Here, deposition is performed until the thickness of the plating layer becomes about 12 μm. Then, the disk on which the Ni-P plating layer is formed is sandwiched between polyurethane polishing cloths, and while the alumina-based abrasive is injected, the surface of the plating layer is 1-2
Finish polishing with a polishing thickness of about μm.

発生する基板面の突起も存在する。On the surface of the magnetic disk substrate manufactured by the conventional manufacturing method, the abrasive used in the final polishing step remains as projections without being completely removed. In the magnetic disk substrate made of glass, in addition to the presence of the protrusions caused by the remaining abrasive used in the final polishing step, there are also protrusions on the substrate surface generated in the low-temperature ion exchange treatment step.

Also, considering that the flying height of the head corresponding to the surface recording density of 10 Gbit / in2 is about 20 nm, the remaining of the protrusions on the substrate surface significantly impairs the smoothness of the substrate. There is a problem because the possibility of contact with the substrate is increased.

る。As a method of finally performing the final polishing with the abrasive concentration being substantially zero, for example, the supply of the polishing liquid containing the abrasive is cut off, and the final polishing is performed by supplying only water as the polishing liquid. A method can be mentioned (claim 3). When the supply of the polishing liquid containing the polishing agent is interrupted and only water is supplied as the polishing liquid, the water is not circulated in the polishing apparatus (double-sided polishing machine), but is supplied in a flowing manner. The polishing agent concentration of the polishing liquid supplied between the pad and the workpiece (disc-shaped substrate) necessarily decreases gradually.

The abrasive on the substrate surface can be removed to such an extent that the above-mentioned problem does not occur. Although the cause of such an abrasive removal effect is not clear, when water is supplied to the substrate, the formation of a hydrated film on the substrate surface is promoted, and the polishing pad physically acts on this hydrated film, and water is supplied. It is expected that small foreign matters protruding from the substrate surface in the sum film and the hydrate film are removed.

Further, an aqueous solution in which an acid, an alkali, and a salt are dissolved may be used. Thus, according to the finish polishing according to the present invention, while minimizing the physical force acting directly on the substrate as much as possible, the removal of the soft hydrated film generated on the substrate surface and the removal of the protruding minute foreign matter are promoted, Indicates the surface roughness of the substrate without damaging the substrate

平滑な面を有する。Then, as a method of finally performing the final polishing with the abrasive concentration being substantially zero, the supply of the polishing liquid containing the abrasive is interrupted, and the final polishing is performed by supplying only water as the polishing liquid. The method is adopted. In addition, when the supply of the polishing liquid containing the polishing agent is shut off and only water is supplied as the polishing liquid, the water is supplied in a flowing manner without being circulated in the polishing apparatus (double-side polishing machine). Therefore, the polishing agent concentration of the polishing liquid supplied between the polishing pad of the polishing apparatus and the workpiece (disc-shaped substrate) necessarily decreases gradually, and the time for supplying only water as the polishing liquid is reduced. If you make it longer,
The workpiece (disk-shaped substrate) is physically rubbed with a polishing pad in the presence of water, and as a result, the abrasive on the substrate surface can be sufficiently removed. <Example 1> The substrate for an information recording medium of the present example had a surface roughness of Rmax 56 angstroms and Ra3.9 angstroms measured in an area of 10 μm square by an atomic force microscope, and the surface was polished. It has a smooth surface without large projections due to the residual agent.
