Description
本発明は、ハードディスクドライブ装置（ＨＤＤ装置）などの磁気ディスク装置に用いられる基板の製造方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a substrate used in a magnetic disk device such as a hard disk drive device (HDD device).
現在、ハードディスク装置用の基板としては円盤状の磁気ディスクが広く用いられている。ハードディスク用の大容量化に伴い、記憶媒体が垂直磁気記録方式に移行した。これに伴い、磁気ディスク用基板に求められる品質として、低粗さ、低うねり、低欠陥、端部形状の平坦化などが挙げられる。これらの品質項目に関して、基本的には主表面の研磨工程及びその後の洗浄工程での調整で対応することが可能である。特に、低粗さ及び低うねりに関しては、最終研磨工程の占める割合が高い。例えば、最終研磨工程において、研磨砥粒の微細化、や研磨パッドの硬質化、及び平坦化によって、低粗さ及び低うねりを達成することができる。主表面の研磨工程においては、遊星歯車機構を用いた研磨装置を用いて行う（特許文献１）。 Currently, disk-shaped magnetic disks are widely used as substrates for hard disk drives. With the increase in capacity for hard disks, the storage medium has shifted to the perpendicular magnetic recording system. Along with this, the quality required for a magnetic disk substrate includes low roughness, low waviness, low defects, flattened end shapes, and the like. These quality items can basically be dealt with by adjustment in the main surface polishing step and the subsequent cleaning step. In particular, with respect to low roughness and low waviness, the final polishing step occupies a high ratio. For example, in the final polishing step, low roughness and low waviness can be achieved by making the abrasive grains finer, making the polishing pad harder, and flattening. The polishing process of the main surface is performed using a polishing apparatus using a planetary gear mechanism (Patent Document 1).
しかしながら、上記のような研磨装置を用いて研磨加工する場合において、研磨加工後に上側定盤を上昇させると、研磨装置内に溜まった研磨材（スラリー）が一気に流れ出して、下側定盤にこの研磨材が溜まってしまい、キャリアや基板が浮いてしまって、キャリア穴から基板が飛び出てしまうことがある。このような状態になると研磨加工後の基板に傷がついてしまう恐れがある。 However, when polishing using the polishing apparatus as described above, if the upper platen is raised after the polishing process, the abrasive material (slurry) accumulated in the polishing apparatus flows out at once, and this is put on the lower platen. The abrasive may accumulate, the carrier and the substrate may float, and the substrate may jump out of the carrier hole. In such a state, the substrate after polishing may be damaged.
本発明はかかる点に鑑みてなされたものであり、研磨加工後に研磨材の流れ出しにより基板に傷が付くことを防止できる磁気ディスク用基板の製造方法を提供することを目的とする。 The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing a magnetic disk substrate that can prevent the substrate from being damaged by the flow of abrasive after polishing.
本発明の磁気ディスク用基板の製造方法は、一対の定盤の間に挟持され、複数の磁気ディスク用基板を保持した状態で自転しながら公転するキャリアを備えた研磨装置で研磨材を供給しながら前記磁気ディスク用基板を研磨加工する工程を含む磁気ディスク用基板の製造方法であって、前記研磨加工において、前記定盤の駆動を停止する前に前記研磨材の供給を停止させることを特徴とする。 The method for manufacturing a magnetic disk substrate according to the present invention supplies a polishing material by a polishing apparatus provided with a carrier that is sandwiched between a pair of surface plates and revolves while rotating while holding a plurality of magnetic disk substrates. A method of manufacturing a magnetic disk substrate including a step of polishing the magnetic disk substrate while stopping the supply of the abrasive before stopping the driving of the surface plate in the polishing process. And
この方法によれば、研磨材供給が停止した後でも少しの期間だけ定盤が回転しており、研磨装置内の研磨材を外部に排出することができる。このように下側定盤に研磨材が溜まる量を少なく調整することにより、定盤の駆動を停止して上側定盤を上昇させても、研磨材が一気に流れ出すことがない。その結果、磁気ディスク用基板はキャリアに保持された状態となるので、磁気ディスク用基板を傷付けることがない。 According to this method, the surface plate rotates only for a short period even after the supply of the abrasive is stopped, and the abrasive in the polishing apparatus can be discharged to the outside. In this way, by adjusting the amount of the abrasive that accumulates on the lower surface plate to be small, even if the drive of the surface plate is stopped and the upper surface plate is raised, the abrasive does not flow out at a stretch. As a result, since the magnetic disk substrate is held by the carrier, the magnetic disk substrate is not damaged.
本発明の磁気ディスク用基板の製造方法においては、前記定盤の駆動を停止する約１０秒前に前記研磨材の供給を停止させることが好ましい。 In the method for manufacturing a magnetic disk substrate of the present invention, it is preferable to stop the supply of the abrasive approximately 10 seconds before stopping the driving of the surface plate.
本発明の磁気ディスク用基板の製造方法においては、前記研磨材の供給を停止させた後前記定盤の駆動を停止するまで相対的に前記定盤で前記キャリアを挟持する際の加圧力を相対的に低くすることが好ましい。 In the method for manufacturing a magnetic disk substrate according to the present invention, the pressure applied when the carrier is relatively clamped by the surface plate until the drive of the surface plate is stopped after the supply of the abrasive is stopped is relatively It is preferable to make it low.
本発明の磁気ディスク用基板の製造方法においては、前記磁気ディスク用基板がガラス基板であることが好ましい。 In the method for manufacturing a magnetic disk substrate according to the present invention, the magnetic disk substrate is preferably a glass substrate.
本発明の磁気ディスク用基板の製造方法は、一対の定盤の間に挟持され、複数の磁気ディスク用基板を保持した状態で自転しながら公転するキャリアを備えた研磨装置で研磨材を供給しながら前記磁気ディスク用基板を研磨加工において、前記定盤の駆動を停止する前に前記研磨材の供給を停止させるので、研磨加工後に研磨材の流れ出しにより基板に傷が付くことを防止することができる。 The method for manufacturing a magnetic disk substrate according to the present invention supplies a polishing material by a polishing apparatus provided with a carrier that is sandwiched between a pair of surface plates and revolves while rotating while holding a plurality of magnetic disk substrates. However, in polishing the magnetic disk substrate, since the supply of the abrasive is stopped before the driving of the surface plate is stopped, it is possible to prevent the substrate from being damaged by the flow of the abrasive after the polishing. it can.
以下、本発明の実施の形態について添付図面を参照して詳細に説明する。
本発明の磁気ディスク用基板の製造方法においては、一対の定盤の間に挟持され、複数の磁気ディスク用基板を保持した状態で自転しながら公転するキャリアを備えた研磨装置で研磨材を供給しながら前記磁気ディスク用基板を研磨加工において、前記定盤の駆動を停止する前に前記研磨材の供給を停止させる。
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
In the method for manufacturing a magnetic disk substrate according to the present invention, the abrasive is supplied by a polishing apparatus provided with a carrier that is held between a pair of surface plates and revolves while rotating while holding a plurality of magnetic disk substrates. While polishing the magnetic disk substrate, the supply of the abrasive is stopped before the driving of the surface plate is stopped.
磁気ディスク用基板の材料としては、アルミノシリケートガラス、ソーダライムガラス、ボロシリケートガラスなどを用いることができる。特に、化学強化を施すことができ、また主表面の平坦性及び基板強度において優れた磁気ディスク用ガラス基板を提供することができるという点で、アルミノシリケートガラスを好ましく用いることができる。また、ガラス基板に限らず、本発明の効果は磁気ディスク基板種によらず発揮できることから、その他の磁気ディスク基板（アルミニウム基板など）への適用を排除するものではない。 As the material for the magnetic disk substrate, aluminosilicate glass, soda lime glass, borosilicate glass, or the like can be used. In particular, aluminosilicate glass can be preferably used in that it can be chemically strengthened and can provide a glass substrate for a magnetic disk excellent in flatness of the main surface and substrate strength. In addition, the effects of the present invention are not limited to glass substrates, and the effects of the present invention can be exhibited regardless of the type of magnetic disk substrate. Therefore, application to other magnetic disk substrates (such as aluminum substrates) is not excluded.
磁気ディスク用基板の製造工程は、素材加工工程及び第１研削工程；端部形状工程（穴部を形成するコアリング工程、端部（外周端部及び／又は内周端部）に面取り面を形成するチャンファリング工程（面取り面形成工程））；端面研磨工程（外周端部及び内周端部）；第２研削工程；主表面研磨工程（第１及び第２研磨工程）；化学強化工程などの工程を含む。 The manufacturing process of the magnetic disk substrate includes a material processing step and a first grinding step; an end shape step (coring step for forming a hole, a chamfered surface at the end (outer peripheral end and / or inner peripheral end) Chamfering step to be formed (chamfered surface forming step)); end surface polishing step (outer peripheral edge and inner peripheral edge); second grinding step; main surface polishing step (first and second polishing step); chemical strengthening step, etc. These steps are included.
以下に、磁気ディスク用基板の製造工程の各工程について説明する。ここでは、磁気ディスク用基板がガラス基板である場合について説明する。
（１）素材加工工程及び第１研削工程
まず、素材加工工程においては、ガラス基板となるガラス基材（ブランクス）は、例えば溶融ガラスを材料として、プレス法やフロート法、ダウンドロー法、リドロー法、フュージョン法など、公知の製造方法を用いて製造することができる。これらの方法うち、プレス法を用いれば、板状ガラスを廉価に製造することができる。
Below, each process of the manufacturing process of the board | substrate for magnetic discs is demonstrated. Here, a case where the magnetic disk substrate is a glass substrate will be described.
(1) Material processing step and first grinding step First, in the material processing step, a glass base material (blanks) serving as a glass substrate is made of, for example, molten glass using a press method, a float method, a down draw method, a redraw method. It can be produced using a known production method such as a fusion method. Of these methods, if a press method is used, a sheet glass can be produced at a low cost.
第１研削工程においては、板状ガラスの両主表面を研削加工し、ディスク状のガラス基材とする。この研削加工は、遊星歯車機構を利用した両面研削装置により、アルミナ系遊離砥粒を用いて行うことができる。具体的には、板状ガラスの両面に上下からラップ定盤を押圧させ、遊離砥粒を含む研削液を板状ガラスの主表面上に供給し、これらを相対的に移動させて研削加工を行う。この研削加工により、平坦な主表面を有するガラス基板を得ることができる。 In the first grinding step, both main surfaces of the sheet glass are ground to form a disk-shaped glass substrate. This grinding process can be performed using alumina-based loose abrasive grains by a double-side grinding apparatus using a planetary gear mechanism. Specifically, the lapping platen is pressed from above and below on both sides of the plate glass, a grinding liquid containing free abrasive grains is supplied onto the main surface of the plate glass, and these are moved relatively to perform grinding processing. Do. By this grinding process, a glass substrate having a flat main surface can be obtained.
（２）端部形状工程（穴部を形成するコアリング工程、端部（外周端部及び内周端部）に面取り面を形成するチャンファリング工程（面取り面形成工程））
コアリング工程においては、例えば、円筒状のダイヤモンドドリルを用いて、このガラス基板の中心部に内孔を形成し、円環状のガラス基板とする。チャンファリング工程においては、内周端面及び外周端面をダイヤモンド砥石によって研削し、所定の面取り加工を施す。
(2) End shape process (coring process for forming a hole, chamfering process for forming a chamfer on the end (outer peripheral end and inner peripheral end) (chamfered surface forming process))
In the coring step, for example, an inner hole is formed at the center of the glass substrate using a cylindrical diamond drill to obtain an annular glass substrate. In the chamfering step, the inner peripheral end surface and the outer peripheral end surface are ground with a diamond grindstone, and a predetermined chamfering process is performed.
（３）第２研削工程
第２研削工程においては、得られたガラス基板の両主表面について、第１研削工程と同様に、第２研削加工を行う。この第２研削工程を行うことにより、前工程において主表面に形成された微細な凹凸形状／表面ダメージ・傷などを除去し、かつ第１研削よりもさらに表面粗さを低減することで、後続の主表面に対する研磨工程を短時間で完了させることができるようになる。
(3) 2nd grinding process In a 2nd grinding process, the 2nd grinding process is performed about the both main surfaces of the obtained glass substrate similarly to a 1st grinding process. By performing this second grinding step, the fine irregularities / surface damage / scratches formed on the main surface in the previous step are removed, and the surface roughness is further reduced as compared with the first grinding. It becomes possible to complete the polishing process for the main surface in a short time.
（４）端面研磨工程
端面研磨工程においては、ガラス基板の外周端面及び内周端面について、ブラシ研磨方法により、鏡面研磨を行う。このとき、研磨砥粒としては、例えば、酸化セリウム砥粒を含むスラリー（遊離砥粒）を用いることができる。この端面研磨工程により、ガラス基板の端面での汚染・ダメージ・傷の除去を行うことで、ナトリウムやカリウムのようなコロージョンの原因となるイオン析出の発生を防止できる状態になる。
(4) End surface polishing step In the end surface polishing step, the outer peripheral end surface and the inner peripheral end surface of the glass substrate are mirror-polished by a brush polishing method. At this time, as the abrasive grains, for example, a slurry containing cerium oxide abrasive grains (free abrasive grains) can be used. By removing the contamination, damage, and scratches on the end surface of the glass substrate by this end surface polishing step, it becomes possible to prevent the occurrence of ion precipitation that causes corrosion such as sodium and potassium.
（５）主表面研磨工程（第１研磨工程）
主表面研磨工程として、まず第１研磨工程を施す。主表面研磨加工においては、例えば、図１に示す遊星歯車機構を用いた研磨装置を用いて行う。図１は、磁気ディスク用基板の製造方法で用いる研磨装置の概略構成を示す図である。図１に示す研磨装置は、太陽歯車２と、その外方に同心円状に配置される内歯歯車３と、太陽歯車２及び内歯歯車３に噛み合い、太陽歯車２や内歯歯車３の回転に応じて公転及び自転するキャリア４と、このキャリア４に保持された磁気ディスク用基板（基板）１を挟持可能な研磨パッド７がそれぞれ貼着された上側定盤５及び下側定盤６と、上側定盤５と下側定盤６との間に研磨材（スラリー）を供給する研磨材供給部８と、上側定盤５及び下側定盤６の駆動や加圧力と、研磨材供給部８の研磨材供給のタイミングを制御する制御部９とを備えている。
(5) Main surface polishing step (first polishing step)
As the main surface polishing step, first, a first polishing step is performed. In the main surface polishing, for example, a polishing apparatus using a planetary gear mechanism shown in FIG. 1 is used. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a schematic configuration of a polishing apparatus used in a method for manufacturing a magnetic disk substrate. The polishing apparatus shown in FIG. 1 meshes with the
このような両面研磨装置によって、研磨加工時には、キャリア４に保持された基板１を上側定盤５及び下側定盤６とで挟持するとともに、上下側定盤５，６の研磨パッド７と基板１との間に研磨材を供給しながら、太陽歯車２や内歯歯車３の回転に応じてキャリア４が公転及び自転させて基板１の両主表面を研磨加工する。
With such a double-side polishing apparatus, during polishing, the substrate 1 held by the carrier 4 is sandwiched between the
従来の研磨工程での上下側定盤５，６の駆動と研磨材供給との間では、図２（ａ）に示すように、研磨終了時において定盤駆動及び研磨材供給が同じタイミングで終了し、その後、上側定盤５が上昇する。このようなタイミングにおいては、研磨加工中に研磨装置内に溜まった研磨材が一気に流れ出して、下側定盤にこの研磨材が溜まってしまい、この研磨材によりキャリアや基板が浮いてしまって、キャリア穴から基板が飛び出てしまい、基板１に傷を付けてしまう恐れがある。
Between the drive of the upper and
一方、本発明に係る方法においては、図２（ｂ）に示すように、上下側定盤５，６の駆動を停止する前に研磨材の供給を停止させる。このため、研磨材供給が停止した後でも少しの期間上下側定盤５，６が回転しており、研磨装置内の研磨材を外部に排出することができる。このように下側定盤６に研磨材が溜まる量を少なく調整することにより、上下側定盤５，６の駆動を停止して上側定盤５を上昇させても、研磨材が一気に流れ出すことがない。その結果、基板１はキャリア４に保持された状態となるので、基板１を傷付けることがない。
On the other hand, in the method according to the present invention, as shown in FIG. 2 (b), the supply of the abrasive is stopped before the driving of the upper and
研磨材の供給を停止させてから定盤の駆動を停止するまでの時間（図２（ｂ）における時間Ｔ）は、５秒〜６０秒であることが好ましく、特に約１０秒であることが好ましい。また、研磨材の供給を停止させた後、上下側定盤５，６の駆動を停止するまで相対的に上下側定盤５，６定盤でキャリア４を挟持する際の加圧力を相対的に低くする（低化圧加工する）ことが好ましい。この場合において、研磨材の供給を停止させた後の加圧力は、研磨加工中の加圧力に比べて、５０％〜９０％程度低くすることが好ましい。
The time from when the supply of the abrasive is stopped to when the driving of the surface plate is stopped (time T in FIG. 2B) is preferably 5 to 60 seconds, particularly about 10 seconds. preferable. In addition, after the supply of the abrasive is stopped, the pressure applied when the carrier 4 is clamped between the upper and
この第１研磨工程は、前述のラッピング工程で主表面に残留したキズや歪みの除去を主たる目的とする工程である。この第１研磨工程においては、遊星歯車機構を有する両面研磨装置により、硬質樹脂ポリッシャを用いて、主表面の研磨を行う。研磨剤としては、酸化セリウム砥粒を用いることができる。 This first polishing process is a process whose main purpose is to remove scratches and distortions remaining on the main surface in the lapping process described above. In the first polishing step, the main surface is polished using a hard resin polisher by a double-side polishing apparatus having a planetary gear mechanism. As the abrasive, cerium oxide abrasive grains can be used.
（６）主表面研磨工程（最終研磨工程）
次に、最終研磨工程として、第２研磨工程を施す。第２研磨工程は、両主表面のうち記録面となる面のみを鏡面状に仕上げることを目的とする工程である。この第２研磨工程においても、上記と同様にして遊星歯車機構を有する両面研磨装置により、軟質発泡樹脂ポリッシャを用いて、主表面の鏡面研磨を行う。スラリーとしては、第１研磨工程で用いた酸化セリウム砥粒よりも微細な酸化セリウム砥粒やコロイダルシリカなどを用いることがきる。
(6) Main surface polishing step (final polishing step)
Next, a second polishing process is performed as a final polishing process. A 2nd grinding | polishing process is a process aiming at finishing only the surface used as a recording surface among both main surfaces in a mirror surface shape. Also in the second polishing step, the main surface is mirror-polished using a soft foamed resin polisher by a double-side polishing apparatus having a planetary gear mechanism in the same manner as described above. As the slurry, cerium oxide abrasive grains or colloidal silica finer than the cerium oxide abrasive grains used in the first polishing step can be used.
（７）化学強化工程
化学強化工程においては、前述のラッピング工程及び研磨工程を終えたガラス基板に化学強化を施す。化学強化に用いる化学強化液としては、例えば、硝酸カリウム（６０％）と硝酸ナトリウム（４０％）の混合溶液などを用いることができる。化学強化においては、化学強化液を３００℃〜４００℃に加熱し、洗浄済みのガラス基板を２００℃〜３００℃に予熱し、化学強化溶液中に３時間〜４時間浸漬することによって行う。この浸漬の際には、ガラス基板の表面全体が化学強化されるようにするため、複数のガラス基板が端面で保持されるように、ホルダに収納した状態で行うことが好ましい。
(7) Chemical strengthening step In the chemical strengthening step, the glass substrate that has been subjected to the lapping step and polishing step described above is chemically strengthened. As a chemical strengthening solution used for chemical strengthening, for example, a mixed solution of potassium nitrate (60%) and sodium nitrate (40%) can be used. In the chemical strengthening, the chemical strengthening solution is heated to 300 ° C. to 400 ° C., the cleaned glass substrate is preheated to 200 ° C. to 300 ° C., and immersed in the chemical strengthening solution for 3 hours to 4 hours. In soaking, in order to chemically strengthen the entire surface of the glass substrate, the immersion is preferably performed in a state of being accommodated in a holder so that the plurality of glass substrates are held at the end surfaces.
このように、化学強化溶液に浸漬処理することによって、ガラス基板の表層のリチウムイオン及びナトリウムイオンが、化学強化溶液中の相対的にイオン半径の大きなナトリウムイオン及びカリウムイオンにそれぞれ置換され、ガラス基板が強化される。 Thus, by immersing in the chemical strengthening solution, the lithium ions and sodium ions in the surface layer of the glass substrate are respectively replaced with sodium ions and potassium ions having a relatively large ion radius in the chemical strengthening solution. Will be strengthened.
次に、本発明の効果を明確にするために行った実施例について説明する。
（実施例）
まず、溶融させたアルミノシリケートガラスを上型、下型、胴型を用いたダイレクトプレスによりディスク形状に成型し、アモルファスの板状ガラス素材（ブランクス）を得た。この時点でブランクスの直径は６６ｍｍであった。次に、このブランクスの両主表面を第１ラッピング加工した後、円筒状のコアドリルを用いて、このガラス基板の中心部に穴部を形成して円環状のガラス基板に加工（コアリング）した。そして端部（外周端部及び内周端部）に面取り面を形成するチャンファリング加工（面取り面形成工程））を施して、直径２．５インチのガラス基板とした。
Next, examples performed for clarifying the effects of the present invention will be described.
(Example)
First, the melted aluminosilicate glass was molded into a disk shape by direct pressing using an upper mold, a lower mold, and a barrel mold to obtain an amorphous plate glass material (blanks). At this point, the diameter of the blanks was 66 mm. Next, both main surfaces of the blanks were subjected to a first lapping process, and then a cylindrical core drill was used to form a hole in the center of the glass substrate to process it into an annular glass substrate (coring). . And the chamfering process (chamfering surface formation process) which forms a chamfering surface in the edge part (an outer peripheral edge part and an inner peripheral edge part) was given, and it was set as the glass substrate of diameter 2.5 inches.
次いで、このガラス基板に第２ラッピング加工を行った。次いで、ガラス基板の外周端部について、ブラシ研磨方法により、鏡面研磨を行った。このとき、研磨砥粒としては、酸化セリウム砥粒を含むスラリー（遊離砥粒）を用いた。次いで、主表面研磨工程として、ガラス基板の両主表面に対して第１研磨工程を施した。第１研磨工程においては、研磨装置として、図１に示す両面研磨装置を使用した。この研磨装置における研磨パッドとしては、ウレタンパッドを用いた。また、研磨剤としては、セリウム研磨剤を用いた。また、研磨条件としては、加工面圧を１２０ｇ／ｃｍ２とし、加工回転数を２２ｒｐｍとした。このとき、上下側定盤の駆動を停止する約１０秒前にスラリーの供給を停止させた。また、スラリーの供給を停止した後に、加工面圧を３３ｇ／ｃｍ２とした。 Next, a second lapping process was performed on the glass substrate. Next, the outer peripheral end of the glass substrate was mirror polished by a brush polishing method. At this time, as the abrasive grains, a slurry (free abrasive grains) containing cerium oxide abrasive grains was used. Next, as a main surface polishing step, a first polishing step was performed on both main surfaces of the glass substrate. In the first polishing step, a double-side polishing apparatus shown in FIG. 1 was used as the polishing apparatus. A urethane pad was used as a polishing pad in this polishing apparatus. A cerium abrasive was used as the abrasive. The polishing conditions were a processing surface pressure of 120 g / cm 2 and a processing rotation speed of 22 rpm. At this time, the supply of the slurry was stopped about 10 seconds before the driving of the upper and lower surface plates was stopped. Further, after stopping the supply of the slurry, the working surface pressure was set to 33 g / cm 2.
加工後の目視検査でのH-Damage（ハンドリングダメージ）の発生率を調べ他ところ、３．６７％であった。 The occurrence rate of H-Damage (handling damage) in the visual inspection after processing was examined and found to be 3.67%.
（比較例）
研磨終了時において定盤駆動及び研磨材供給を同じタイミングで終了させたこと以外は実施例と同様にして磁気ディスク用基板の研磨加工を行った。加工後の目視検査でのH-Damageの発生率は４．１５％であった。
(Comparative example)
The polishing of the magnetic disk substrate was performed in the same manner as in the example except that the driving of the platen and the supply of the abrasive were terminated at the same timing when the polishing was completed. The occurrence rate of H-Damage in the visual inspection after processing was 4.15%.
このように、本発明の方法によれば、上下側定盤の駆動を停止する前に研磨材の供給を停止させ、下側定盤に研磨材が溜まる量を少なく調整しているので、上下側定盤の駆動を停止して上側定盤を上昇させた際の、研磨材の流れ出しに起因する基板への傷付けを防止することができる。上記実施例、比較例の結果から、欠陥低減率が約１３％であった。 As described above, according to the method of the present invention, the supply of the abrasive is stopped before the driving of the upper and lower surface plates is stopped, and the amount of the abrasive accumulated on the lower surface plate is adjusted to be small. When the driving of the side surface plate is stopped and the upper surface plate is raised, the substrate can be prevented from being damaged due to the flowing out of the abrasive. From the results of the above examples and comparative examples, the defect reduction rate was about 13%.
