- the increase in capacity of the hard disk drive can be achieved by increasing the number of magnetic disks loaded in the hard disk drive.
- simply increasing the number of magnetic disks to be loaded requires the size of the hard disk device to be increased.
- the size of the housing for the hard disk drive is standardized, and it is difficult to change the size significantly.
- a magnetic disk to be mounted (equipped) in a hard disk drive is generally manufactured by providing a magnetic layer and the like on the main surface of a disk-shaped magnetic disk substrate.

It collides with a surrounding member (external member) such as a ramp or an adjacent magnetic disk.
- a surrounding member such as a ramp or an adjacent magnetic disk.
- the magnetic disk substrate described in Patent Document 1 is thinned to a thickness of 0.5 mm or less, for example, in order to cope with the increase in capacity of the hard disk device, and the main surface of the magnetic disk and the ramp are reduced. It cannot necessarily be said that it is possible to adapt to a form in which the gap between the two is further narrowed from 200 ⁇ m (for example, a form in which the gap is set to 165 ⁇ m).
- the present invention provides a magnetic disk substrate and a magnetic disk using the same, which can cope with the increase in capacity (increase in the number of loaded sheets) of the hard disk device and can improve the impact resistance characteristics of the hard disk device. The challenge is to
- the present inventors have made intensive studies on the shock resistance properties of a thin magnetic disk, focusing on the magnetic disk substrate that occupies most of the thickness of the magnetic disk.
- controlling the surface roughness of the portion (fixing portion) that comes into contact with the fixing jig when the magnetic disk is incorporated into the hard disk drive is effective in suppressing the amount of displacement due to external impact.
- the root mean square deviation Rq of the surface roughness is 0.01 to 0.01.
- the magnetic disk substrate for manufacturing a magnetic disk
- contact between the magnetic disk and an external member such as a ramp caused by an external impact when incorporated in a hard disk drive is reduced, and particles on the surface of the magnetic disk are reduced. , scratches and defects are less likely to occur. Therefore, even if the thickness of the magnetic disk substrate is reduced, it is possible to improve the impact resistance characteristics of the hard disk device in which the distance from the external member is reduced.
- the magnetic disk of the present invention can improve impact resistance when incorporated into a hard disk device.

上述の通り、磁気ディスクの薄肉化のため、磁気ディスク用基板の薄肉化が要望されている。しかし、磁気ディスク用基板を薄肉化すると磁気ディスクとしてハードディスク装置に組み込まれた際に、ハードディスク装置外部からの衝撃で磁気ディスクが大きく振動する場合がある。この振動の振れ幅が大きいと、磁気ディスク、より具体的には磁気ディスク用基板そのもの又は磁気ディスク用基板上に形成された磁性体層等が、磁気ディスクの主面上に張り出すように配置されているランプ等の周囲の部材(外部部材)と、又は隣接する磁気ディスクと、衝突してしまう。このような衝突が生じると、磁気ディスクに接触した部材が削れてパーティクルを生じる、磁気ディスク表面に傷等の欠陥が生じる等の不具合につながりやすい。そこで、振動の抑制された、耐衝撃特性の優れた磁気ディスクとできる磁気ディスク用基板が求められている。
一方で、ハードディスク装置への磁気ディスクの積載枚数を増加させるため、磁気ディスクの主面とランプとの間隙をさらに狭くすることが検討されている。
特許文献1に記載の磁気ディスク用基板は、磁気ディスクの主面とランプとの間隙を0.2mm(200μm)とすることを想定して開発されたものであり、特許文献1には2msec、120G(1177m/s2)の衝撃を与えた際に、磁気ディスク用基板の外周端部の板厚方向の変位量が0.2mm以上となる回数を4回以下に抑制できることが記載されている。しかし、特許文献1に記載された磁気ディスク用基板は、ハードディスク装置の大容量化に対応すべく、磁気ディスク用基板を例えば板厚0.5mm以下に薄肉化しながら、磁気ディスクの主面とランプとの間隙を200μmからさらに狭くする形態(例えば、間隙:165μmとする形態)に対応可能とは必ずしも言えないものであった。
本発明は、ハードディスク装置の高容量化(積載枚数の増加)に対応可能であり、かつハードディスク装置の耐衝撃特性の向上を可能とする磁気ディスク用基板、及びこれを用いた磁気ディスクを提供することを課題とする。
〔1〕
一対の表裏の主面を有する磁気ディスク用基板であって、
上記表裏の主面のそれぞれに、上記磁気ディスク用基板を磁気ディスクとした上でハードディスク装置に組みこむ際に固定用治具と接触する固定部位を有し、
上記表裏の主面のそれぞれの固定部位の表面粗さの二乗平均偏差Rqが0.01~0.44μmである磁気ディスク用基板。

下記の衝撃試験によって上記磁気ディスク用基板を振動させた際に、上記磁気ディスク用基板の外周端部の板厚方向の変位量の最大値Hが165μm以下で、且つ、上記変位量の減衰率Eが17.7μm/msec以上である〔1〕又は〔2〕に記載の磁気ディスク用基板。
<衝撃試験>
上記磁気ディスク用基板を、上記固定部位で固定用治具により上下から挟持し水平に軸受けに固定した状態で、上記軸受けに対して2.8msec、490m/s2の衝撃を上記磁気ディスク用基板主面の法線方向に下方から与える。
〔4〕
外径97mm以上、内径26mm以下、板厚0.5mm以下である円盤状の、〔1〕~〔3〕のいずれか1項に記載の磁気ディスク用基板。
〔5〕
〔1〕~〔4〕のいずれか1項に記載の磁気ディスク用基板を用いた磁気ディスク。
磁気ディスク用基板1は、磁気ディスク2の製造に用いられる基板であり、その形状は、一般的には円盤状又は円環状である。
図1は、磁気ディスク用基板の一例を一方の主面法線方向から平面視した平面図である。
図1に示す磁気ディスク用基板1は、円盤状の形状を有し、中心に円孔12を有する。磁気ディスク用基板1は、円孔12を有さない円盤状とも出来るが、中心に円孔12を有する円盤状であることが好ましい。
磁気ディスク用基板1は一対の表裏の主面14を有する。
固定部位11は、磁気ディスク用基板1の内周端部15に配置される内縁と、磁気ディスク用基板1の中心から32mm以下、好ましくは30mm以下の距離に(同心)円状に配置される外縁(仮想線13)とにより区画される(同心)円環状の部位である。2.5インチハードディスク装置用に用いる場合、固定部位11は、磁気ディスク用基板1の内周端部15に配置される内縁と、磁気ディスク用基板1の中心から29mm以下、好ましくは27mm以下の距離に円状に配置される外縁(仮想線13)とにより区画される円環状の部位である。図1では、固定部位11の内径は、磁気ディスク用基板1の内径と一致しているが、固定部位11の内径は、磁気ディスク用基板1の内径より少し大きな径とすることもできる。固定部位11の外径は、磁気ディスク2を固定する際に用いる固定用治具3の外径に合わせて設定でき、固定用治具3の外径と同じか少し大きな径か少し小さな径とすることができる。磁気ディスク用基板1を磁気ディスク2とする際には、この固定部位11の中心から外周に向けた方向(半径方向)の外側に磁性体層が形成される。一方で、磁気ディスク用基板1の固定部位11上には、磁性体層は形成されない。この意味で、磁気ディスク用基板1を磁気ディスク2とした際には、磁気ディスク用基板1の固定部位11と、磁気ディスク2の固定部位21とは、同一視することができる。
固定用治具3の、一つの主面の固定部位11に対する配置の例を図2に示す。図2において、固定部位11と固定用治具3(34)とは、平面視同形状であり、図2では離間しているが固定用治具3(34)は固定部位11に接して配される。ハードディスク装置への組み込みの際の、固定部位11と固定用治具3との配置の形態は、固定用治具3の配置される位置が、固定部位11の平面視内側であれば特に限定されない。固定用治具3は、固定部位11の平面視全体で接触してもよく、固定部位11の平面視した一部で接触してもよい。
磁気ディスク用基板1は、磁気ディスク2とした上で、固定部位21で固定された状態でハードディスク装置等に組み込まれる。より具体的には、固定部位21において、固定用治具3により厚さ方向上下から挟持され、ハードディスク装置の軸受けに固定される。磁気ディスク2のハードディスク装置への組み込みの形態の一例を模式的に示す分解斜視図を図3に示す。具体的には、図3は、3枚の磁気ディスク2を組み込む際の、磁気ディスク2の配置の形態の一例を示している。図3において、3枚の磁気ディスク2は、固定用治具3(ディスククランパ31、軸受けの大径部33a、スペーサ34)とともに、図3に示す順で配置される。ディスククランパ31側から6つの取り付けネジ4を軸受け33に螺合することにより、3枚の磁気ディスク2は、軸受け33の大径部33aで支持され、2つのスペーサ34を介して、軸受け33に固定される。軸受けの芯33bは、磁気ディスク2の円孔、スペーサ34の円孔に挿入される。磁気ディスク2上の固定部位21の外径と、軸受けの大径部33aの直径と、スペーサ34の外径と、ディスククランパ31の直径とは同じである。磁気ディスク2の内径と、スペーサ34の内径とは同じである。軸受けの芯33bの直径は、磁気ディスク2とスペーサ34とを挿入した際にいずれとも隙間のできない大きさである。取り付けネジ4の螺合後には、3枚の磁気ディスク2は、軸受けの大径部33aと、2枚のスペーサ34と、ディスククランパ31と、固定部位21で接触する形態で組み込まれる。組み込みの形態を端的に示す観点から、図3では磁気ディスク2が有する磁性体層、並びに、磁気ヘッド、ランプ等の外部部材、筐体等は図示していない。
組み込みの形態は上記形態に限定されず、上記を含めた通常の組み込みの形態とすることができる。例えば、軸受けの大径部33aと磁気ディスク2との間にスペーサ34をさらに配置してもよい。
上記固定部位11の表面粗さの二乗平均偏差Rqは、JIS B 0601-2001に準じて、実施例に記載の方法で測定することができる。磁気ディスク用基板1を磁気ディスク2とした場合であっても、磁気ディスク2の固定部位21における表面粗さの二乗平均粗さRqを測定することにより、磁気ディスク用基板1の固定部位11における表面粗さの二乗平均粗さRqを測定することができる。磁気ディスク2の固定部位21と磁気ディスク用基板1の固定部位11とは、通常同じであるためである。
上記表面粗さの二乗平均偏差Rqの調整方法は、特に制限されないが、例えば、研磨工程において、後述するディスクブランク1枚当たり10ml/分以上の研磨液を供給しながら研磨すること、電気抵抗率1MΩ・cm以上の水を用いて研磨液を希釈すること、研磨液を供給する間攪拌し続けること、研磨液を研磨パッドへ配管経由で供給する場合には配管を、電気抵抗率10MΩ・cm以上の水を配管の入口から供給した際に配管の出口で水の電気抵抗率が1MΩ・cm以上となる程度に、清浄にすること等により、上記範囲に設定することができる。いずれの調製方法を採用しても、Rqは小さくなる傾向である。
上記電気抵抗率を下げる観点からは、研磨液の希釈に用いる水は、純水が好ましく、イオン交換水及び蒸留水がより好ましい。
減衰率をより高める観点からは、ΔRqの絶対値は、0.01~0.08μmであることが好ましく、0.01~0.05μmであることがより好ましく、0.01~0.05μmであることがさらに好ましい。
ΔRqの絶対値の調整方法は、特に制限されないが、例えば、研磨工程において、研磨液を上定盤側から供給すること、ディスクブランクの上下を反転させ同じ時間だけ研磨すること、ディスクブランクの板厚方向上下の反転を一回以上実施すること等により上記範囲に設定することができる。
磁気ディスク用基板1の外径は、通常の磁気ディスク用基板の外径と同様とすることができる。磁気ディスク用基板1を2.5インチハードディスク装置用に用いる場合、磁気ディスク用基板1の外径は、65mm以上であることが好ましい。上限はハードディスク装置の筐体の内寸により制限され、70mm以下が実際的である。磁気ディスク用基板1を3.5インチハードディスク装置用に用いる場合、本発明の磁気ディスク用基板1の外径は、95mm以上であることが好ましく、97mm以上がより好ましい。上限はケースの内寸により制限され、101mm以下が実際的である。
磁気ディスク用基板1の内径は、通常の磁気ディスク用基板の内径と同様とすることができる。2.5インチハードディスク装置用に用いる場合、本発明の磁気ディスク用基板1の内径は、22mm以下であることが好ましい。下限は回転軸の直径により制限され、18mm以上が実際的である。3.5インチハードディスク用に用いる場合、本発明の磁気ディスク用基板1の内径は、26mm以下であることが好ましい。25mm以下とすることもできる。下限は回転軸の直径により制限され、24mm以上が実際的である。
磁気ディスク用基板1の好ましい形態は、外径97mm以上、内径26mm以下、板厚0.5mm以下である形態である。
本発明の磁気ディスク用基板1は、下記の形態とし、下記の仕様のハードディスクドライブに用いた場合に、特に好ましい効果を奏する。
磁気ディスク用基板1のサイズ:外径97mm以下、内径25mm以下、板厚0.5mm以下
材料:Al-Mg系合金又はアルミノシリケートガラス
使用の態様:磁気記録ディスク
ハードディスクドライブの仕様:3.5インチハードディスク又は2.5インチハードディスク(いずれもランプロード式)
磁気ディスクとランプとの間隙:例えば171μm未満、より好ましくは165μm以下
<衝撃試験>
1枚の磁気ディスク用基板1を、固定部位11で固定用治具3(ディスククランパ31及びスペーサ34)により上下から挟持し水平に軸受け33に固定した状態で、軸受け33に対して、2.8msec、490m/s2の衝撃を磁気ディスク用基板1の主面14の法線方向(板厚方向)に下方から(軸受け33側からディスククランパ31側に向かって)与える。
なお、衝撃試験において、上下方向とは磁気ディスク用基板の板厚方向(挟持方向)をいい、「上(側)」とはディスククランパ31側、「下(側)」とは軸受け33側をいう。
変位量の最大値Hは、この衝撃試験による衝撃によって磁気ディスク用基板1を振動させ、この衝撃による外周端部の板厚方向の変位量を、図8に示すように、時間に対してプロットして変位量-時間グラフとした際の、最初に大きく下に下がる変位の絶対値(μm)をいう。また、変位量の減衰率Eは、このグラフにおいて、1回目と2回目に大きく下がる変位の頂点を結んだ際の傾き(μm/msec)をいう。
上記衝撃試験は、具体的には実施例に記載の方法によって行うことができる。この衝撃試験は、磁性体層の形成されていない磁気ディスク用基板1を用いて行うが、磁性体層は一般的には薄膜であるため、その剛性は、変位量の最大値H及び減衰率Eに実質的に影響しない。
上記衝撃試験によって磁気ディスク用基板1を振動させた際に、磁気ディスク用基板1の外周端部の板厚方向の変位量の最大値Hが165μm以下であることが好ましい。
上記最大変位量Hは、164μm以下であることがより好ましく、150μm以下であることがより好ましく、130μm以下であることがさらに好ましい。最大変位量Hの下限は特に限定されないが、100μm以上であることが実際的である。
磁気ディスク用基板1は、上記衝撃試験によって磁気ディスク用基板1を振動させた際に、磁気ディスク用基板1の外周端部の板厚方向の変位量の減衰率Eが17.7μm/msec以上であることが好ましい。減衰率Eの上限は特に限定されないが、30μm/msec以下であることが実際的である。
磁気ディスク用基板1は、上記変位量の最大値Hが165μm以下で、且つ、上記変位量の減衰率Eが17.7μm/msec以上である形態がより好ましい。
なお、磁気ディスク用基板1が磁気ディスク2とされている場合であっても、磁気ディスク2を用いる以外は同じ方法で測定した変位量H及び減衰率Eを、磁気ディスク用基板1の変位量H及び減衰率Eとみなすことができる。上述のように磁性体層はこれらの測定値に影響しないためである。
図9に、衝撃試験に用いられる衝撃パルスの説明図を示す。縦軸は加速度であり、横軸は時間である。衝撃パルスは、印加加速度G(最大加速度に相当)、作用時間から構成される。
本発明の磁気ディスク用基板1は、その主面14の少なくとも一方に磁性体層を形成することにより、磁気ディスク2として用いることができる。主面14の両方に磁性体層を形成することが好ましい。
磁気ディスク2の構造は、上記固定部位21を有する以外は、通常の磁気ディスクと同様の構造とすることができる。
固定部位21は固定部位11についての記載を適用することができ、固定部位11と同様の表面粗さの二乗平均偏差Rq、内径、及び外径とすることができ、好ましい態様も固定部位11と同様である。
磁性体層は、通常の磁気ディスクと同様の構造とすることができる。
磁性体層の厚みは、特に限定されないが、1~100nmが好ましい。
主要な2.5インチハードディスク用筐体の厚みとして、7mm、9.5mm、12.5mm、主要な3.5インチハードディスク用筐体の厚みとして、20mm、26mm等が知られている。
磁気ディスク2の板厚が0.5mmである場合、通常の3.5インチ用ハードディスク用の厚さ26mmの筐体に搭載できる磁気ディスク2の枚数は9枚以下である。しかし、磁気ディスク2の板厚を0.5mm未満とすることにより、筐体の厚みを26mmから大きく超える厚みとすることなく、ハードディスクに磁気ディスクを10枚以上搭載することが可能となる。
通常のハードディスクドライブにおいて、磁気ディスクの主面とこの主面と同じ側にあるランプ等の外部部材との間隙は200μm程度に設定されることがある。本発明の磁気ディスク用基板1を用いれば、磁気ディスク2と外部部材との間隙をさらに減少させることができる。このようにして、ハードディスク装置に磁気ディスクを多く搭載することを可能とできる。本発明によれば、上記間隙を170μm、さらには165μmといったより狭い間隙とすることが可能である。
まず、アルミニウム合金基板について説明する。
基板材料のアルミニウム合金としては、Al-Mg系合金、Al-Fe-Mn-Ni系合金、Al-Fe-Mn-Mg-Ni系合金を好ましく用いることができるが、これに制限されるものではない。
Al-Mg系合金としては、例えば、JIS5086(A5086)(Mg:3.5~4.5質量%、Fe:0.50質量%以下、Si:0.40質量%以下、Mn:0.20~0.70質量%、Cr:0.05~0.25質量%、Cu:0.10質量%以下、Ti:0.15質量%以下及びZn:0.25質量%以下を含有し、残部Al及び不可避的不純物からなる)を用いることができる。
磁気ディスク用アルミニウム合金基板の製造方法は、表面粗さの二乗平均偏差Rqが上記範囲にある磁気ディスク用基板を製造可能な方法であれば、特に限定されない。表面粗さの二乗平均偏差Rqを上記範囲とする観点からは、磁気ディスク用アルミニウム合金基板の製造方法は、粒径が0.03μm以上1.0μm以下(粒径0.1μm以上1.0μm以下とすることもできる)で、平均粒径が0.2μm以上0.85μm以下の研磨砥粒を含む研磨液と硬質又は軟質の研磨パッドとを用いて、主面を粗研磨する工程と、次いで、粒径が0.01μm以上0.1μm未満で、平均粒径が0.02μm以上0.08μm以下の研磨砥粒を含む研磨液と軟質の研磨パッドを用いて、主面を精密研磨する工程とを少なくとも有することが好ましい。
粗研磨工程は後述のステップS111に相当し、精密研磨工程は後述するステップS112に相当する。粗研磨工程及び精密研磨工程の詳細については、ステップS111及びS112の記載を参照することができる。
上記粗研磨工程及び/又は精密研磨工程は、下記の好ましい工程を少なくとも1つ行うことが好ましい。
上記粗研磨工程及び/又は精密研磨工程は、上定盤側から研磨パッドへ研磨液を供給しながら研磨する工程であることが好ましい。
上記粗研磨工程及び/又は精密研磨工程は、後述するディスクブランク1枚当たり10ml/分以上の研磨液を供給しながら研磨する工程であることが好ましい。
上記粗研磨工程及び/又は精密研磨工程は、電気抵抗率1MΩ・cm以上の水を用いて希釈された研磨液を用いる工程であることが好ましい。
上記粗研磨工程及び/又は精密研磨工程において、研磨パッドに対して攪拌下の研磨液を供給することが好ましい。
上記粗研磨工程及び/又は精密研磨工程において、研磨工程の途中でディスクブランクの板厚方向上下を一回以上反転させることが好ましい。
上記粗研磨工程及び/又は精密研磨工程に先立って、研磨液が供給される配管を、電気抵抗率10MΩ・cm以上の水を入口から供給した場合に、配管の出口で1MΩ・cm以上となる程度に清浄にすることが好ましい。
以下、この図4を参照しつつ、各工程の内容を詳細に説明する。
DC鋳造法においては、スパウトを通して注がれた溶湯が、ボトムブロックと、水冷されたモールドの壁、ならびに、インゴット(鋳塊)の外周部に直接吐出される冷却水で熱を奪われ、凝固し、アルミニウム合金の鋳塊として下方に引き出される。この工程で得られたインゴットをスラブということがある。
一方、CC鋳造法では、一対のロール(又は、ベルトキャスタ、ブロックキャスタ)の間に鋳造ノズルを通して溶湯を供給し、ロールからの抜熱でアルミニウム合金の薄板を直接鋳造する。
DC鋳造法とCC鋳造法との大きな相違点は、鋳造時の冷却速度にある。冷却速度が大きいCC鋳造法では、第二相粒子のサイズがDC鋳造に比べ小さいのが特徴である。
ステップS103として、均質化処理を行う場合は、280~620℃で0.5~30時間の加熱処理を行うことが好ましく、300~620℃で1~24時間の加熱処理を行うことがより好ましい。均質化処理時の加熱温度が280℃未満又は加熱時間が0.5時間未満の場合は、均質化処理が不十分で、アルミニウム合金基板毎の損失係数のバラツキが大きくなる虞がある。均質化処理時の加熱温度が620℃を超えると、アルミニウム合金鋳塊に溶融が発生する虞がある。均質化処理時の加熱時間が30時間を超えてもその効果は飽和し、それ以上の顕著な改善効果が得られない。
切削・研削加工工程においては、ディスクブランクの内外周を切削加工して形状を整え、主面を研削加工する。この工程を行う前に、研削加工の予備処理として、ディスクブランクの記録面を切削加工してもよい。この工程において、さらに内外周端面へチャンファー加工を施してもよい。
研削加工は800~4000番のSiC砥石と、市販のバッチ式の両面同時研磨機を用いて実施することができる。この両面同時研磨機は、鋳鉄製の上定盤及び下定盤と、複数のアルミ基板を上定盤と下定盤との間に保持するキャリアと、上定盤及び下定盤のアルミ基板との接触面に取り付けられた、SiC砥石とを備える。研削加工は、ディスクブランクをキャリアで保持しながら、上下定盤をそれぞれ反対方向に回転させる。上下定盤の回転数は10~30rpmとすることができる。キャリアはサンギアで回転するため、ディスクブランクは砥石の上を遊星運動しながら研削される。
また、加熱処理を行う場合には、ディスクブランクを200~350℃で5~60分保持の条件で加熱処理を行う。加熱処理を行うことにより、切削・研削加工で入った歪を除去することができる。
脱脂処理は、通常の方法で行うことができ、例えば、市販の脱脂液などを用い、温度40~70℃、処理時間3~10分、濃度10~500ml/Lの条件で行うことが好ましい。
エッチング処理は、通常の方法で行うことができ、例えば、市販のエッチング液などを用い、温度50~75℃、処理時間0.5~5分、濃度1~50mL/Lの条件で行うことが好ましい。
ジンケート処理では、ディスクブランク表面にジンケート皮膜が形成される。ジンケート処理は、市販のジンケート処理液を用いることができ、温度10~35℃、処理時間0.1~5分、濃度100~500mL/Lの条件で行うことが好ましい。ジンケート処理は、少なくとも1回なされ、2回以上行っても良い。ジンケート処理を複数回行うことで、微細なZnを析出させて、均一なジンケート皮膜を形成することができる。ジンケート処理を2回以上行う場合、その合間にZn剥離処理を行うことができる。Zn剥離処理は、HNO3溶液を用い、温度15~40℃、処理時間10~120秒、硝酸濃度:10~60%の条件で行うことが好ましい。また、2回目以降のジンケート処理は、最初のジンケート処理と同様の条件で実施することが好ましい。
脱脂処理からジンケート処理までの各処理間には純水洗浄を実施してもよい。
また、粗研磨工程におけるその他の研磨条件は、用いたアルミニウム合金、ステップS101~S110までの処理条件等により影響されるため一義的に決定することが難しいが、例えば、研磨定盤の回転数を5~35rpm、研磨液供給速度を10~500ml/分(より好ましくは50~500ml/分)、研磨時間1~10分、加工圧力を10~100g/cm2、研磨量を0.1~10μmとすることができる。粗研磨工程の途中で、ディスクブランクの板厚方向上下を反転させることが好ましい。反転は一回でもよく、複数回行うこともできる。ディスクブランクを反転させる時期は特に制限されないが、ディスクブランクの両面が均等に研磨されるようにすることが好ましく、粗研磨工程の全研磨時間の半分が経過した際に反転させることがより好ましい。
上記精密研磨工程におけるその他の研磨条件は、用いたアルミニウム合金、ステップS101~粗研磨までの処理条件等により影響されるため一義的に決定することが難しいが、例えば、研磨定盤の回転数を5~35rpm、研磨液供給速度を10~500ml/分(より好ましくは50~500mL/分)、研磨時間1~10分、加工圧力を10~100g/cm2、研磨量を0.01~1μmとすることができる。精密研磨工程の途中で、ディスクブランクの板厚方向上下を反転させることが好ましい。反転は一回でもよく、複数回行うこともできる。ディスクブランクを反転させる時期は特に制限されないが、ディスクブランクの両面が均等に研磨されるようにすることが好ましく、精密研磨工程の全研磨時間の半分が経過した際に反転させることがより好ましい。
研磨液の研磨パッドへの供給は通常の方法で行うことができる。例えば、研磨液は、研磨液を蓄えたタンクから配管を経由して研磨パッドに供給することができる。研磨液を蓄えたタンクは攪拌手段を備えることが好ましい。
研磨液は、上定盤側から研磨パッドに供給することが好ましい。上定盤側から研磨パッドに供給するとは、具体的には、上定盤及び研磨パッドに穴を空け、穴に上から研削液を落として流し込むことをいう。
粗研磨工程及び精密研磨工程で用いる研磨パッドは、多孔質の研磨パッドを用いる。
ガラス基板について説明する。
ガラス板の材料としては、アモルファスガラスや結晶化ガラスなどのガラスセラミックスを用いることができる。なお、成形性や加工性、製品の表面粗さの観点からアモルファスガラスを用いることが好ましく、例えば、アルミノシリケートガラス、ソーダライムガラス、ソーダアルミノシリケートガラス、アルミノボロシリケートガラス、ボロシリケートガラスなどを用いることが好ましい。
磁気ディスク用ガラス基板の製造方法は、表面粗さの二乗平均偏差Rqが上記範囲にある磁気ディスク用基板を製造可能な方法であれば、特に限定されない。表面粗さの二乗平均偏差Rqを上記範囲とする観点からは、磁気ディスク用ガラス基板の製造方法は、粒径が0.1μm以上1.0μm以下で、平均粒径が0.2μm以上0.85μm以下の研磨砥粒を含む研磨液と硬質の研磨パッドとを用いて、主面を粗研磨する工程と、次いで、粒径が0.01μm以上0.1μm未満で、平均粒径が0.02μm以上0.08μm以下の研磨砥粒を含む研磨液と軟質の研磨パッドを用いて、主面を精密研磨する工程とを少なくとも有することが好ましい。粗研磨工程及び精密研磨工程における条件はアルミニウム合金基板の製造の際の条件を適用することもできる。例えば、粗研磨工程において、粒径が0.03μm以上1.0μm以下の砥粒を用いることもできる。
粗研磨工程は後述のステップS204に相当し、精密研磨工程は後述するステップS205に相当する。粗研磨工程及び精密研磨工程の詳細については、ステップS204及びS205の記載を参照することができる。
上記粗研磨工程及び/又は精密研磨工程は、下記の好ましい工程を少なくとも1つ行うことが好ましい。
上記粗研磨工程及び/又は精密研磨工程は、上定盤側から研磨パッドへ研磨液を供給しながら研磨する工程であることが好ましい。
上記粗研磨工程及び/又は精密研磨工程は、後述するディスクブランク1枚当たり10ml/分以上の研磨液を供給しながら研磨する工程であることが好ましい。
上記粗研磨工程及び/又は精密研磨工程は、電気抵抗率1MΩ・cm以上の水を用いて希釈された研磨液を用いる工程であることが好ましい。
上記粗研磨工程及び/又は精密研磨工程において、研磨パッドに対して攪拌下の研磨液を供給することが好ましい。
上記粗研磨工程及び/又は精密研磨工程において、研磨工程の途中でディスクブランクの板厚方向上下を一回以上反転させることが好ましい。
上記粗研磨工程及び/又は精密研磨工程に先立って、研磨液が供給される配管を、電気抵抗率10MΩ・cm以上の水を入口から供給した場合に、配管の出口で1MΩ・cm以上となる程度に清浄にすることが好ましい。
以下、図5を参照しつつ、各工程について具体的に説明する。

作成した各種磁気ディスク用基板について、固定部位の表面粗さの二乗平均偏差Rqを測定した。
この測定においては、固定部位の一部の表面粗さの二乗平均偏差Rqを測定することにより、固定部位の表面粗さの二乗平均偏差Rqを代表させた。このRqの測定を行った磁気ディスク用基板上の位置は、作製した各種磁気ディスク用基板について、磁気ディスク用基板の中心から半径30mm円周上である。(すなわち、図6に示す磁気ディスク用基板1上の固定部位11内に位置する仮想線6で示した箇所である。)
測定は、光学測定計機(Zygo社製、Mesa Horizontal Laser Interferometer(商品名))を用いて行った。測定の際のモードは、上記円周上の表面粗さを測定するモードとした。得られたデータは、上記光学測定機に付属のMetroPro8.3.3ソフトを用い、表面粗さの二乗平均偏差Rq(μm)を求めた。測定は、磁気ディスク用基板の主面の両方について行い、一方の主面の表面粗さの二乗平均偏差Rqを表1の「表面Rq」欄に、もう一方の主面の表面粗さの二乗平均偏差Rqを表1の「裏面Rq」欄に記載した。さらに表面Rqと裏面Rqとの差ΔRqの絶対値を「表裏面差分ΔRq」欄に記載した。
作成した各磁気ディスク用基板について、磁気ディスク用基板を衝撃試験によって振動させた際の、磁気ディスク用基板の外周端部(下記センサーの測定位置)の板厚方向の変位量の最大値H、及びこの変位量の減衰率Eを以下のようにして求めた。この測定は、室温(25℃)で行った。
<衝撃試験>
磁気ディスク用基板を、固定部位で固定用治具により上下から挟持し水平に軸受けに固定した状態で、軸受けに対して2.8msec、490m/s2の衝撃を磁気ディスク用基板主面の法線方向(板厚方向)に下方から与えた。
測定には、衝撃試験機(エア・ブラウン社製、SM-110-MP(商品名))を用いた。この衝撃試験機は、1つの試験台を備え、この試験台を落下させることにより任意の大きさの外部衝撃を被検体に加えることが可能である。また、変位計測装置(ユニパルス社製、UMA-500(商品名))を用いた。この変位計測装置は、静電容量方式のセンサーを備え、センサーと測定対象物との間の静電容量を測定することにより、センサーと測定対象物との間の距離を算出することができる。
磁気ディスク用基板を、上記衝撃試験機の試験台に、市販のハードディスクドライブと同じ治具を用いて、磁気ディスク用基板の主面が試験台と平行になるように取り付けた。取り付けは、具体的には以下のように行った。まず、上記ハードディスクドライブ(12TB HDD[HUH721212ALE600]、WESTERN Digital社製、磁気ディスク用基板を8枚搭載)を分解してアルミ合金製の固定用治具(ディスククランパ、スペーサ)及び呼び径M2のネジ6本を取り出した。別途、上記ハードディスクドライブの軸受けと芯の長さが短い(磁気ディスク用基板1枚用)以外は同じ形状の軸受けを用意し、試験台に固定した。1枚の磁気ディスク用基板を、上記ハードディスクドライブから取り出した固定用治具(ディスククランパ、スペーサ)で挟持し、上記ネジ6本を、ディスククランパの上から50cN・mのトルクで螺合して、軸受けに組付けた。組み付け後の磁気ディスク用基板は、その内周部に設けた固定部位11(内周端部と磁気ディスク用基板の中心から半径14.5mmの円周とに囲われた部位)において、固定用治具と接していた。ディスククランパの外径は30mm、厚み5.6mmであった。スペーサは円環状であり、その内径は25mmであり、外径は32mm、厚み1.7mmであった。
図7に示すように、外部衝撃の付加に伴い発生する磁気ディスク用基板の外周端部の変位量を測定するために試験台上に上記変位測定装置のセンサーを内周端部センサー7及び外周端部センサー8として取り付けた。内周端部センサー7は、試験台の、測定対象とする、振動を与える前の磁気ディスク用基板の中心から外周方向へ20mmの位置で、外周端部センサー8は、磁気ディスク用基板の中心から外周方向へ44.18mmの位置で、静止状態の磁気ディスク用基板1の主面の法線方向に沿って磁気ディスク用基板1とセンサーとの距離を測定できるようにそれぞれ取り付けた。図7に磁気ディスク用基板1に対する内周端部センサー7と外周端部センサー8と磁気ディスク用基板1との配置を水平方向(磁気ディスク用基板の厚さ方向に対して垂直方向)からみた端面図を示す。図7(a)において磁気ディスク用基板1は静止状態(衝撃印加前の状態)にあり、内周端部センサー7及び外周端部センサー8は、磁気ディスク用基板1の主面に対して垂直に配置されている。図7(a)において、磁気ディスク用基板1は、ディスククランパ31とスペーサ34とに固定部位(図示せず)で挟持されて軸受け(図示せず)に固定されている。なお、ディスククランパ31とスペーサ34の外径は異なるが、図7(a)では、簡略化のため同径で表している。内周端部センサー7と磁気ディスク用基板1の主面(内周端部センサー7に近い方:対向する主面)との距離をh2、及び外周端部センサー8と磁気ディスク用基板1の主面(外周端部センサー8に近い方:対向する主面)との距離をh1とする。図7(b)に衝撃印加による振動により変形して下方に撓んだ磁気ディスク用基板1に対する内周端部センサー7と外周端部センサー8との配置を示す端面図を示す。図7(b)においては、上記撓みによりh1及びh2はいずれも図7(a)におけるh1及びh2よりも大きくなっている。図示はしないが、磁気ディスク用基板1は衝撃による振動によって、板厚方向(上下方向)に振動し、その振動は時間の経過につれて減衰する。
上述の衝撃試験機にて、試験台を垂直に落下させ、軸受けに対して490m/s2、2.8msecの衝撃を上記磁気ディスク用基板主面の法線方向に下方から与えた。このとき、外周端部センサー8と磁気ディスク用基板1との距離(h1)、及び内周端部センサー7と磁気ディスク用基板1との距離(h2)を測定し、外周端部センサーと外周端部との距離の、静止状態から振動状態への変位量と、内周端部センサーと内周端部との距離の静止状態から振動状態への変位量とを求めた(いずれも単位:μm)。これらの変位量の、同時間における差分(h1-h2)を算出し、この差分を磁気ディスク用基板の外周端部の変位量とした。このように、磁気ディスク用基板上の内周端部と外周端部の2点における変位量h1及びh2の差分として外周端部の変位量を求めることにより、軸受の変位の影響を排除できる。得られた外周端部の変位量を、図8に示す通り、磁気ディスク用基板の主面の法線方向上向きの変位を正として変位量-時間グラフ(縦軸:変位量(μm)、横軸:時間(msec))に示した際に、最初に大きく下に下がる変位の絶対値を最大変位量H(μm)とし、1回目と2回目に大きく下がる変位の頂点を結んだ際の傾きを振動による変位量の減衰率E(μm/msec)とした。
本試験では、磁気ディスク用基板はモータによる回転はさせなかった。
比較例1及び2の磁気ディスク用基板は、表面Rq及び裏面Rqが大きすぎ、変位量Hを低減することができなかった。その上、減衰率Eも小さかった。
実施例1~3の磁気ディスク用基板は、表面Rq及び裏面Rqがいずれも0.01~0.44μmの範囲内であり、変位量Hが低減されていた。また、減衰率Eも向上していた。本発明の磁気ディスク用基板を用いた磁気ディスクは、変位量Hを低減でき、また、減衰率Eを向上できること、それゆえに、この磁気ディスクを用いればハードディスクドライブの耐衝撃性を向上させることができることが分かる。
490m/s2、2.8msecの衝撃を受けた際の最大変位量Hが171μm未満であれば、磁気ディスク用基板を磁気ディスクとして磁気ディスクとランプ等の外部部材との間隙が165μmであるハードディスクドライブに組み込んだ場合であっても、磁気ヘッドがランプ等の外部部材に接触してランプ部材が削れるなどしてパーティクルが発生しにくく、さらに場合によっては磁気ディスクの表面に傷や欠陥が生じにくいハードディスクドライブとすることができる。
また、490m/s2、2.8msecの衝撃を受けた際の減衰率Eが17.7μm/msec以上であれば、磁気ディスク用基板を磁気ディスクとしてハードディスクドライブに組み込んだ場合に、磁気ディスクにたとえ大きな振動が発生しても短時間で振動を減衰させることができ、外部部材との接触回数が少なくなる。また、磁気ディスクが回転していない状況では磁気ディスク上の同じ位置において繰り返し接触が少なくなる。その結果、パーティクルの発生、並びに磁気ディスク表面の傷及び欠陥がさらにいっそう生じにくいハードディスクドライブとすることができる。
