を有し、
前記第1研磨工程を行った後、前記第2研磨工程を行う前に、前記洗浄工程と前記乾燥工程とをこの順に行うことを特徴とするガラス基板の製造方法。
ガラス基板の大きさに特に限定はない。例えば、外径が2.5インチ、1.8インチ、1インチ、0.8インチなど種々の大きさのガラス基板がある。また、ガラス基板の厚みにも限定はなく、2mm、1mm、0.63mmなど種々の厚みのガラス基板がある。
最初に、ガラス素材を溶融する。
溶融ガラスを下型に流し込み、上型によってプレス成形して円板状のガラス基板前駆体を得る。なお、円板状のガラス基板前駆体は、プレス成形によらず、例えばダウンドロー法やフロート法で形成したシートガラスを研削砥石で切り出して作製してもよい。
プレス成形したガラス基板前駆体は、カッター部にダイヤモンド砥石等を備えたコアドリル等で中心部に孔を開ける。
次に、ガラス基板の両表面をラッピング加工し、ガラス基板の全体形状、すなわちガラス基板の平行度、平坦度および厚みを予備調整する。
次に、ガラス基板の外周端面および内周端面を、例えば鼓状のダイヤモンド等の研削砥石により研削することで内・外径加工する。この内・外径加工により、ガラス基板の外径寸法および真円度、孔の内径寸法、並びにガラス基板と孔との同心度を微調整し、また、ガラス基板の内・外周角部を、例えば、0.1mmから0.2mm程度の45°の面取りをする。
この後、ガラス基板の内周端面を、研磨液を使用したブラシ研磨により面取り部の角部を曲面とし、また微細なキズ等を除去する。
次に、ガラス基板の両表面を再びラッピング加工して、ガラス基板の平行度、平坦度および厚みを微調整する。
そして、ガラス基板の外周端面を、研磨液を使用したブラシ研磨により面取り部の角部を曲面とし、また微細なキズ等を除去する。

第2研磨工程は、第1研磨工程後のガラス基板の表面を更に精密に研磨する工程である。第2研磨工程で使用するパッドは、第1研磨工程で使用するパッドより柔らかい硬度65から80(Asker-C)程度の軟質パッドで、例えば発泡ウレタンやスウェードを使用するのが好ましい。研磨剤としては、第1研磨工程と同様の酸化セリウム、コロイダルシリカ、酸化ジルコニウム、酸化チタニウム、酸化マンガン等を用いることができるが、ガラス基板の表面をより滑らかにするため、粒径がより細かくバラツキが少ない研磨剤を用いるのが好ましい。粒径の平均粒子径が40nmから70nmの研磨剤を水に分散させてスラリー状にして研磨液として用い、水と研磨剤との混合比率は、1:9から3:7程度が好ましい。
