【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、例えばコンピュータの記憶装置として使用される磁気ディスク用の基板表面を研磨するために用いられる研磨用組成物に関するものである。更に詳しくは、研磨速度が速く、研磨後の基板表面を平滑にでき、表面欠陥の発生を低減することができる研磨用組成物に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
近年、コンピュータの記憶装置として用いられるハードディスクの高密度化等の要求に伴い、ハードディスク用基板の研磨工程における研磨速度の向上や基板表面の粗さの低減が求められている。そのような要求を満たすために、例えば研磨材としてアルミナ粒子を用い、アルキルスルホン酸と水とを含有する研磨用組成物が開示されている(例えば特許文献1参照。)。この研磨用組成物によれば、基板表面の欠陥をなくし、研磨速度を向上させ、表面粗さを低減することができる。

【発明が解決しようとする課題】
ところが、前者の研磨用組成物は研磨材に研磨速度を向上させるためのアルキルスルホン酸が含まれているだけであることから、特に研磨材として酸化ケイ素を用いた場合、研磨速度の向上を十分に達成することができない。更に、基板表面の粗さを低減することができても、基板表面の微小うねりを低減して平滑性を向上させることができないという問題があった。
【0006】
後者の研磨用組成物は二酸化ケイ素を含む研磨材に研磨促進剤として酸化剤と有機酸が含まれているが、特に有機酸などの研磨促進剤の種類によって基板表面の微小うねりを低減することができず、研磨速度の更なる向上を図ることもできないという問題があった。
【0007】
本発明は、上記のよな従来技術に存在する問題点に着目してなされたものである。その目的とするところは、研磨速度の向上を図ることができると共に、研磨後の被研磨物表面における欠陥の発生を低減することができ、かつ被研磨物表面の微小うねりを低減して平滑性を向上させることができる研磨用組成物を提供することにある。
【0008】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記の目的を達成するために、請求項1に記載の発明の研磨用組成物は、酸化ケイ素を研磨材とし、メタンスルホン酸、過酸化水素及び水を含有することを特徴とするものである。
【0009】
請求項2に記載の発明の研磨用組成物は、請求項1に記載の発明において、更に、クエン酸、マレイン酸、無水マレイン酸、リンゴ酸、グルコール酸、コハク酸、イタコン酸、マロン酸、イミノ二酢酸、グルコン酸、乳酸、マンデル酸、酒石酸、クロトン酸、ニコチン酸、酢酸、アジピン酸、グリシン、アラニン、ヒスチジン、蟻酸、シュウ酸及び硫酸からなる群より選ばれる少なくとも一種の研磨促進剤を含有するものである。
【0010】
請求項3に記載の発明の研磨用組成物は、請求項2に記載の発明において、更に、リン酸又はその塩を含有するものである。
請求項4に記載の発明の研磨用組成物は、請求項1から請求項3のいずれか一項に記載の発明において、磁気ディスク用基板の表面を仕上げ研磨するために用いられるものである。
【0011】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の研磨用組成物を具体化した実施形態について詳細に説明する。
本実施形態の研磨用組成物は、酸化ケイ素を研磨材とし、メタンスルホン酸、過酸化水素及び水を含有するものである。この研磨用組成物は磁気ディスクに使用されるアルミニウム基板等の被研磨物の表面を研磨するために用いられる。被研磨物としては、例えばブランク材であるアルミニウム合金にニッケル(Ni)−リン(P)の無電解メッキを施した磁気ディスク用の基板が使用される。
【0012】
研磨材は、被研磨物の表面を機械的研磨作用により研磨するために含有される。この研磨材は酸化ケイ素であるが、被研磨物表面の状態を良好に維持するために二酸化ケイ素(シリカ、SiO)が好ましい。酸化セリウムは研磨速度を向上させることが困難である。一方、ダイヤモンドや酸化アルミニウムは被研磨物の表面(被研磨面)にスクラッチやピット(へこみ)等の欠陥が発生するのを低減することができない。これに対し、前記酸化ケイ素は研磨速度を向上させることができ、かつ被研磨物表面に欠陥を発生するのを低減することができるため、特に仕上げ用の研磨材として必須である。
【0013】
二酸化ケイ素の具体例としてはコロイダルシリカ、フュームドシリカ等の製造方法や性状の異なる種々のものが挙げられ、これらは単独又は二種以上を組み合わせて含有される。これらの中でも、被研磨面にスクラッチ、ピット等の欠陥が発生するのを低減する効果が高いために、コロイダルシリカがより好ましい。コロイダルシリカは、通常表面が帯電した無定形シリカ粒子が水中に分散してコロイド状をなしているものをいう。コロイダルシリカは例えば、ケイ酸ナトリウム又はケイ酸カリウムをイオン交換した超微粒子コロイダルシリカを粒子成長させる方法、アルコキシシランを酸又はアルカリで加水分解する方法、有機ケイ素化合物を湿式にて加熱分解する方法等によって得られる。
【0014】
研磨材の粒子径は、研磨速度の向上、表面欠陥の低減及び微小うねりの低減に大きく影響する。そのような観点から、研磨材の粒子径は窒素吸着法(BET法)により測定された比表面積から求められる平均粒子径として0.005〜0.5μmが好ましく、0.01〜0.3μmがより好ましい。この粒子径が0.005μmより小さい場合には、研磨速度が遅く、研磨抵抗が大き過ぎて研磨機の振動が発生しやすくなるため、より精密な研磨面を得ることが困難である。一方、粒子径が0.5μmを越える場合には、研磨用組成物に沈殿が発生しやすくなり、研磨後の被研磨物の表面粗度が悪化しやすく、スクラッチも発生しやすくなるうえに、コストも上昇する。
【0015】
研磨材の含有量は均一分散性と適度な粘度を保持し、十分な研磨速度を得るという観点から0.01〜40重量%が好ましく、0.1〜10重量%がより好ましい。この含有量が0.01重量%より低い場合には研磨速度が遅くなると共に、研磨抵抗が大きくなり過ぎて振動の発生により十分な研磨を行うことができなくなる。一方、含有量が40重量%を越える場合には研磨用組成物に沈殿が発生しやすく、凝集しやすくなって組成の安定性が悪化するうえに、コストも上昇する。
【0016】
続いて、メタンスルホン酸(CHSOH)は研磨促進剤として用い られ、化学的研磨作用(エッチング)に基づいて研磨速度を速くすると共に、 被研磨物表面の微小うねりを短時間で除去することができる。このメタンスル ホン酸はエタンスルホン酸、プロパンスルホン酸等やその他の酸に比べて微小 うねりを速やかに除去できると共に、研磨速度を向上させる効果に優れている 。ここで、微小うねりとは、基板表面に研磨時の研磨圧力等によって発生した ものであり、表面粗さ測定機を用いて一定の測定波長で測定された微小な凹凸 を高さ(Å)で表したものである。
【0017】
メタンスルホン酸の濃度は0.01〜40重量%であることが好ましく、1〜20重量%であることがより好ましい。この濃度が0.01未満の場合には十分な研磨促進作用が得られず、40重量%を越える場合には腐食性が強くなり過ぎて、研磨機等を侵食するおそれがあり、コストも上昇する。
【0018】
次いで、過酸化水素は酸化による化学的研磨作用及びメタンスルホン酸や後述するカルボン酸と相乗的な働きによる研磨材の研磨作用の促進を行なうものである。酸化剤としては一般に硝酸、過マンガン酸カリウム、過硫酸塩等も用いられるが、硝酸は酸化力が不十分であり、過マンガン酸カリウムは金属塩であるためスクラッチが発生しやすく、過硫酸塩も金属塩であることからスクラッチが発生しやすい。これに対し、過酸化水素は十分な酸化力を有し、上記の作用を発揮できるほか、分解しても酸と水になるため環境にやさしく、比較的安価である。従って、酸化剤としては過酸化水素であることが必要である。過酸化水素の含有量は0.1〜3.0重量%であることが好ましく、0.5〜1.5重量%であることがより好ましい。この含有量が0.1重量%未満の場合には十分な研磨速度が得られず、スクラッチが多発して表面欠陥となるおそれがある。一方、含有量が3.0重量%を越える場合にはコストが上昇する。過酸化水素は通常30〜35重量%の水溶液として使用される。
【0019】
前記水は、各成分の分散媒又は溶媒として作用するために含有される。水は、他の成分の作用を阻害するのを防止するために不純物をできるだけ含有しないものが好ましい。具体的には、イオン交換樹脂にて不純物イオンをイオン交換して除去した後にフィルタを通して異物を除去した純水や超純水、蒸留水等が好ましい。水の含有量は研磨用組成物が前記各成分が十分に分散又は溶解され、適度な粘度を有するように設定される。
【0020】
研磨用組成物には上記各成分以外に更に、クエン酸、マレイン酸、無水マレイン酸、リンゴ酸、グルコール酸、コハク酸、イタコン酸、マロン酸、イミノ二酢酸、グルコン酸、乳酸、マンデル酸、酒石酸、クロトン酸、ニコチン酸、酢酸、アジピン酸、グリシン、アラニン、ヒスチジン、蟻酸、シュウ酸及び硫酸からなる群より選ばれる少なくとも一種の研磨促進剤を含有することが好ましい。この研磨促進剤は化学的研磨作用に基づき、研磨材の機械的研磨作用を促進し、研磨速度を向上させるものである。
【0021】
一般に有機酸、無機酸又はそれらの塩は化学的研磨作用による研磨促進剤として利用されるが、それらのうち上記のものが特に好ましい。また、上記の研磨促進剤のうち、クエン酸、マレイン酸、リンゴ酸、コハク酸及び酒石酸からなる群より選ばれる少なくとも一種が、より効果的な研磨促進作用を得ることができる点からさらに好ましい。これらの有機酸の中でクエン酸、マレイン酸及びコハク酸が、更に過酸化水素の分解を阻止し、研磨用組成物の安定性を向上させることができる点で特に好ましい。これらの研磨促進剤の含有量は0.01〜40重量%が好ましく、1〜20重量%がより好ましい。この含有量が0.01重量%未満の場合には十分な研磨促進作用が得られず、40重量%を越える場合には研磨速度の向上が見られず、無駄になるうえに、その分コストが上昇する。
【0022】
研磨用組成物には更にリン酸又はその塩を含有することが望ましい。リン酸又はその塩は保護膜作用により被研磨物表面に保護膜を形成して被研磨物表面にスクラッチ等の欠陥が発生するのを低減するものである。リン酸塩としては、リン酸一アンモニウム〔(NH)HPO〕、リン酸二アンモニウム〔(NHHPO〕、リン酸三アンモニウム〔(NHPO〕、リン酸一ナトリウム(NaHPO)、リン酸二ナトリウム(NaHPO)、リン酸三ナトリウム(NaPO)、リン酸一カリウム(KHPO)、リン酸二カリウム(KHPO)、リン酸三カリウム(KPO)等が挙げられる。
【0023】
リン酸又はその塩の含有量は0.01〜30重量%が好ましく、1〜10重量%がより好ましい。この含有量が0.01重量%未満の場合にはスクラッチ等の被研磨物表面欠陥が発生しやすく、30重量%を越える場合にはコストが上昇する。
【0024】
本実施形態の研磨用組成物には、研磨用組成物の安定化、被研磨物表面品質保持、研磨加工上に必要性等に応じ、上記の成分以外にその他の添加成分として、界面活性剤、腐食防止剤、増粘剤、キレート剤、消泡剤等を含有してもよい。その他の添加成分の研磨用組成物中の含有量は、研磨用組成物の常法に従って決定される。
【0025】
界面活性剤としては、研磨材の分散性を向上させるために、例えばポリカルボン酸系界面活性剤、ポリスルホン酸系界面活性剤等が挙げられ、また具体例としてポリオキシエチレンアルキルエーテル硫酸ナトリウム等が挙げられる。腐食防止剤としては、ベンゾトリアゾール等が挙げられる。この場合、被研磨物表面を酸による腐食から保護することができる。
【0026】
本実施形態の研磨用組成物は、前記の各成分を翼式撹拌機、超音波分散装置等によって混合、分散或いは溶解することにより調製される。この場合、各成分の添加順序は特に制限されず、いずれの順序でもよく、同時でもよい。
【0027】
このとき、研磨用組成物のpHは酸化反応によって研磨速度を向上させるために、好ましくは7未満、より好ましくは1〜4である。pHが7以上の場合、十分な研磨速度が得られない。一方、pHが1未満の場合、研磨用組成物が強酸となり、研磨装置に腐食を起こすおそれがある等取扱いに注意が必要である。
【0028】
研磨を行なう場合に用いられる研磨機としては、片面研磨機又は両面研磨機のいずれであってもよい。研磨パッドは不織布タイプ、スウェードタイプ、植毛布タイプ、起毛タイプ等が用いられる。また、研磨は1段で行なってもよく、2段以上の複数回に分けて行なってもよい。複数回に分けて行なう場合には、最後の仕上げ研磨において前記研磨用組成物を使用することが望ましい。すなわち、基板表面の表面粗さ(Ra)が例えば30Å以下となるまで仕上げ研磨の前に研磨し、その後に前記研磨用組成物を用いて仕上げ研磨を行なうことが望ましい。
【0029】
さて、ニッケル−リンメッキを施したアルミニウム合金製の基板表面を仕上げ研磨する場合には、本実施形態の研磨用組成物の水性液(スラリー)を基板表面に供給しながら研磨パッドで基板表面を研磨する。このとき、研磨用組成物中には研磨材としてコロイダルシリカが含まれていることから、その機械的研磨作用によって一定の研磨速度でアルミニウム合金の表面が仕上げ研磨される。
【0030】
更に、研磨用組成物中にはメタンスルホン酸及び過酸化水素が含まれていることから、化学的研磨作用(エッチング)を発揮することができると共に、コロイダルシリカの凝集を低減することができる。基板表面がエッチングされ、コロイダルシリカの凝集が低減された状態でコロイダルシリカによる研磨が行なわれるため、研磨速度を向上させることができると共に、被研磨物の表面の微小うねりを目標レベルに速く到達させることができる。また、過酸化水素は被研磨物の表面を酸化させその表面硬度を低下させて、コロイダルシリカによる機械的研磨作用を促進させることができる。
【0031】
加えて、研磨用組成物中にはクエン酸、マレイン酸、リンゴ酸等の研磨促進剤が含まれていることから、メタンスルホン酸及び過酸化水素と相俟って研磨速度が更に促進される。そのうえ、研磨用組成物中にはリン酸又はその塩が含まれているため、被研磨物表面に保護膜が形成され、被研磨物表面におけるスクラッチ、ピット等の表面欠陥の発生が低減される。研磨用組成物による研磨後には水洗等の工程を経て基板表面が洗浄され、乾燥されて磁気ディスク用の基板が製造される。
【0032】
以上詳述した本実施形態によれば、次のような効果が発揮される。
・ 本実施形態の研磨用組成物には研磨材としての酸化ケイ素と共に、メタンスルホン酸及び過酸化水素が含まれている。このため、酸化ケイ素の機械的研磨作用とメタンスルホン酸及び過酸化水素の化学的研磨作用によって研磨速度の向上を図ることができる。また、メタンスルホン酸及び過酸化水素による研磨材の凝集低減作用によって研磨後の基板表面の欠陥の発生を低減することができると共に、基板表面の微小うねりを低減して平滑性を向上させることができる。
【0033】
・ また、クエン酸、マレイン酸、無水マレイン酸、リンゴ酸、グルコール酸、コハク酸、イタコン酸、マロン酸、イミノ二酢酸、グルコン酸、乳酸、マンデル酸、酒石酸、クロトン酸、ニコチン酸、酢酸、アジピン酸、グリシン、アラニン、ヒスチジン、蟻酸、シュウ酸及び硫酸からなる群より選ばれる少なくとも一種の研磨促進剤を含有することにより、化学的研磨作用を高めて研磨速度を向上させることができる。
【0034】
・ 更に、リン酸又はその塩を含有することによって、被研磨物表面に保護膜を形成することができて、スクラッチ、ピット等の表面欠陥が発生するのを低減することができる。
【0035】
・ 前記研磨用組成物を磁気ディスク用基板の表面を仕上げ研磨するために用いることにより、基板表面の欠陥の発生を低減することができ、かつ基板表面の微小うねりを低減して平滑にすることができる。このため、磁気ヘッドの浮上高さを低くすることができると共に、情報欠落や情報の読み取り不良を防止することができる。
【0036】
尚、前記実施形態を次のように変更して構成することも可能である。
・ 前記研磨用組成物に過酸化水素が含有されるときには、過酸化水素と他の成分とを別々に分けた状態で調製及び保管し、使用する直前に過酸化水素を他の成分に加えてもよい。このように構成した場合には、研磨用組成物を長期間保管するときに、過酸化水素が研磨用組成物中で分解することを低減することができる。具体的には、研磨材及びメタンスルホン酸、或いは研磨材、メタンスルホン酸及びリン酸又はその塩の混合物を高濃度の原液として調製、保存しておき、研磨直前にその原液を希釈する際に過酸化水素、過酸化水素及び研磨促進剤、或いはそれらの混合物を溶解させて所定の組成の研磨用組成物を得る方法がある。その他、過酸化水素、メタンスルホン酸、研磨促進剤及びリン酸又はその塩を所定の容量比にて混合された状態で貯蔵し、研磨直前にこの混合物及び研磨材を、必要に応じて水に分散・溶解させる方法が考えられる。これらの方法を用いれば、比較的高濃度での研磨用組成物の保存が可能となる上に、研磨材の安定性が損なわれ易い環境下においても、長期保存が可能となる。
【0037】
・ 被研磨物としては、磁気ディスク用の基板、半導体のウエハ等の半導体基板、光学レンズ等が挙げられる。それらの材質としては、タングステン、銅、シリコン、ガラス、セラミック等が挙げられる。磁気ディスク用の基板としては、ニッケル−鉄(Ni−Fe)メッキを施したアルミニウム、ボロンカーバイド(BC)、カーボン(C)等を用いた基板が挙げられる。
【0038】
・ 研磨用組成物は管理を容易にすると共に輸送コストを低減するために、濃縮された状態で保管し、使用時には所要量の水を混合して希釈するように構成することが望ましい。但し、過剰の濃縮では、研磨材の分散安定性や他の成分の溶解バランスが崩れやすい。このため、濃縮された研磨用組成物と水との体積比は、好ましくは濃縮された研磨用組成物:混合される水=1:1〜7である。この比が1未満の場合濃縮の度合いが低く、7を越える場合濃縮の度合いが高くなって研磨用組成物が凝集しやすくなる。
【0039】
【実施例】
次に、実施例及び比較例を挙げて前記実施形態を更に具体的に説明する。尚、本発明はこれらの実施例の内容に限定されるものではない。

表1に示したように、実施例1〜20においては、研磨速度、スクラッチ及び微小うねりのいずれについても良好であった。これに対して、比較例1〜3では研磨用組成物中にメタンスルホン酸が含まれていないことから研磨速度が低く、比較例2,3では微小うねりも悪化した。比較例4、5においては過酸化水素が含まれていないことから研磨速度、スクラッチ及び微小うねりのいずれについても不良であった。比較例6、7においては、研磨用組成物にエタンスルホン酸、プロパンスルホン酸が含まれていることから、メタンスルホン酸を含むものに比べて、研磨速度が小さいため、微小うねりが悪化した。比較例6〜8においては研磨材がアルミナであることから研磨速度は高いものの、スクラッチ及び微小うねりが不良であった。

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, since the former polishing composition only contains an alkyl sulfonic acid for improving the polishing rate in the abrasive, especially when silicon oxide is used as the abrasive, the improvement in the polishing rate is sufficient.

[0011]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the polishing composition of the present invention will be described in detail.
The polishing composition of this embodiment contains methanesulfonic acid, hydrogen peroxide and water using silicon oxide as an abrasive. This polishing composition is used to polish the surface of an object to be polished such as an aluminum substrate used for a magnetic disk. As the object to be polished, for example, a substrate for a magnetic disk in which an aluminum alloy as a blank material is subjected to electroless plating of nickel (Ni) -phosphorus (P) is used.
[0012]
The abrasive is contained for polishing the surface of the object to be polished by a mechanical polishing action. This abrasive is silicon oxide, but silicon dioxide (silica, SiO,2Is preferred. It is difficult to improve the polishing rate of cerium oxide. On the other hand, diamond and aluminum oxide cannot reduce the occurrence of defects such as scratches and pits (dents) on the surface of the object to be polished (surface to be polished). On the other hand, the silicon oxide can improve the polishing rate and reduce the occurrence of defects on the surface of the object to be polished, and is therefore particularly essential as a polishing material for finishing.
[0013]
Specific examples of silicon dioxide include various production methods and properties of colloidal silica, fumed silica, and the like. These may be used alone or in combination of two or more. Among these, colloidal silica is more preferable because it is highly effective in reducing the occurrence of defects such as scratches and pits on the surface to be polished. Colloidal silica refers to one in which amorphous silica particles having a charged surface are dispersed in water to form a colloid. Colloidal silica is, for example, a method of growing ultrafine colloidal silica obtained by ion exchange of sodium silicate or potassium silicate, a method of hydrolyzing alkoxysilane with an acid or an alkali, a method of thermally decomposing an organosilicon compound by a wet method, and the like. Obtained by
[0014]
The particle size of the abrasive greatly affects the improvement of the polishing rate, the reduction of surface defects, and the reduction of minute waviness. From such a viewpoint, the particle diameter of the abrasive is preferably 0.005 to 0.5 μm, more preferably 0.01 to 0.3 μm as the average particle diameter determined from the specific surface area measured by the nitrogen adsorption method (BET method). More preferred. When the particle size is smaller than 0.005 μm, the polishing rate is low, the polishing resistance is too large, and the vibration of the polishing machine is apt to occur, so that it is difficult to obtain a more precise polished surface. On the other hand, when the particle size exceeds 0.5 μm, precipitation is likely to occur in the polishing composition, the surface roughness of the object to be polished after polishing is easily deteriorated, and scratches are easily generated. Costs also rise.
[0015]
The content of the abrasive is preferably from 0.01 to 40% by weight, more preferably from 0.1 to 10% by weight, from the viewpoint of maintaining uniform dispersibility and appropriate viscosity and obtaining a sufficient polishing rate. If this content is lower than 0.01% by weight, the polishing rate becomes slow and the polishing resistance becomes too large, so that sufficient polishing cannot be performed due to generation of vibration. On the other hand, if the content exceeds 40% by weight, precipitation tends to occur in the polishing composition, which tends to cause aggregation, deteriorating the stability of the composition and increasing the cost.
[0016]
Subsequently, methanesulfonic acid (CH3SO3H) is used as a polishing accelerator to increase the polishing rate based on the chemical polishing action (etching) and to remove minute waviness on the surface of the object to be polished in a short time. This methanesulfonic acid can remove minute undulations more quickly than ethanesulfonic acid, propanesulfonic acid and other acids, and is excellent in the effect of improving the polishing rate. Here, the minute waviness is generated by the polishing pressure or the like during the polishing of the substrate surface, and the minute unevenness measured at a constant measurement wavelength using a surface roughness measuring device is represented by a height (Å). It is a representation.
[0017]
The concentration of methanesulfonic acid is preferably from 0.01 to 40% by weight, more preferably from 1 to 20% by weight. If the concentration is less than 0.01, a sufficient polishing accelerating effect cannot be obtained, and if it exceeds 40% by weight, the corrosiveness becomes too strong, and there is a possibility that the polishing machine or the like is eroded, and the cost also increases. I do.
[0018]
Next, hydrogen peroxide promotes the chemical polishing action by oxidation and the polishing action of the abrasive by synergistic action with methanesulfonic acid and carboxylic acid described later. As an oxidizing agent, nitric acid, potassium permanganate, persulfate, and the like are generally used. However, nitric acid has insufficient oxidizing power, and potassium permanganate is a metal salt, so that scratches easily occur, and persulfate is used. Is also a metal salt, so that scratches easily occur. On the other hand, hydrogen peroxide has a sufficient oxidizing power and can exert the above-mentioned action, and is also environmentally friendly because it becomes an acid and water even when decomposed, and is relatively inexpensive. Therefore, it is necessary that the oxidizing agent be hydrogen peroxide. The content of hydrogen peroxide is preferably from 0.1 to 3.0% by weight, more preferably from 0.5 to 1.5% by weight. If the content is less than 0.1% by weight, a sufficient polishing rate cannot be obtained, and there is a possibility that scratches occur frequently and surface defects occur. On the other hand, when the content exceeds 3.0% by weight, the cost increases. Hydrogen peroxide is usually used as a 30 to 35% by weight aqueous solution.
[0019]
The water is contained to act as a dispersion medium or solvent for each component. The water preferably contains as little impurities as possible to prevent the action of other components from being hindered. Specifically, pure water, ultrapure water, distilled water, or the like, from which impurity ions have been removed by ion exchange with an ion-exchange resin and then foreign substances have been removed through a filter, are preferable. The content of water is set so that the above components are sufficiently dispersed or dissolved in the polishing composition and have an appropriate viscosity.
[0020]
In addition to the above components, the polishing composition further includes citric acid, maleic acid, maleic anhydride, malic acid, glycolic acid, succinic acid, itaconic acid, malonic acid, iminodiacetic acid, gluconic acid, lactic acid, mandelic acid, It is preferable to contain at least one polishing accelerator selected from the group consisting of tartaric acid, crotonic acid, nicotinic acid, acetic acid, adipic acid, glycine, alanine, histidine, formic acid, oxalic acid and sulfuric acid. This polishing accelerator promotes the mechanical polishing action of the abrasive material based on the chemical polishing action and improves the polishing rate.
[0021]
Generally, organic acids, inorganic acids or salts thereof are used as a polishing accelerator by a chemical polishing action, and among them, those described above are particularly preferable. Further, among the above-mentioned polishing accelerators, at least one selected from the group consisting of citric acid, maleic acid, malic acid, succinic acid, and tartaric acid is more preferable in that a more effective polishing acceleration effect can be obtained. Among these organic acids, citric acid, maleic acid and succinic acid are particularly preferred in that they can further inhibit the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide and improve the stability of the polishing composition. The content of these polishing accelerators is preferably from 0.01 to 40% by weight, more preferably from 1 to 20% by weight. When the content is less than 0.01% by weight, a sufficient polishing accelerating effect cannot be obtained, and when the content exceeds 40% by weight, no improvement in the polishing rate is observed, and the polishing is wasted and the cost is reduced accordingly. Rises.
[0022]
It is desirable that the polishing composition further contains phosphoric acid or a salt thereof. Phosphoric acid or a salt thereof forms a protective film on the surface of the object to be polished by the action of the protective film to reduce the occurrence of defects such as scratches on the surface of the object to be polished. As the phosphate, monoammonium phosphate [(NH4) H2PO4], Diammonium phosphate [(NH4)2HPO4], Triammonium phosphate [(NH4)3PO4], Monosodium phosphate (NaH2PO4), Disodium phosphate (Na2HPO4), Trisodium phosphate (Na3PO4), Monopotassium phosphate (KH2PO4), Dipotassium phosphate (K2HPO4), Tripotassium phosphate (K3PO4) And the like.
[0023]
The content of phosphoric acid or a salt thereof is preferably 0.01 to 30% by weight, more preferably 1 to 10% by weight. When the content is less than 0.01% by weight, surface defects such as scratches are liable to occur, and when it exceeds 30% by weight, the cost increases.
[0024]
In the polishing composition of the present embodiment, stabilizing the polishing composition, maintaining the surface quality of the object to be polished, depending on the necessity for polishing, etc., as an additional component other than the above components, a surfactant , A corrosion inhibitor, a thickener, a chelating agent, an antifoaming agent, and the like. The content of the other additive components in the polishing composition is determined according to a conventional method for the polishing composition.
[0025]
Examples of the surfactant include a polycarboxylic acid-based surfactant, a polysulfonic acid-based surfactant, and the like, in order to improve the dispersibility of the abrasive, and specific examples thereof include sodium polyoxyethylene alkyl ether sulfate. No. Examples of the corrosion inhibitor include benzotriazole and the like. In this case, the surface of the object to be polished can be protected from corrosion by acid.
[0026]
The polishing composition of the present embodiment is prepared by mixing, dispersing, or dissolving the above-mentioned components with a blade-type stirrer, an ultrasonic dispersion device, or the like. In this case, the order of addition of each component is not particularly limited, and may be any order or may be simultaneous.
[0027]
At this time, the pH of the polishing composition is preferably less than 7, more preferably 1 to 4, in order to improve the polishing rate by an oxidation reaction. When the pH is 7 or more, a sufficient polishing rate cannot be obtained. On the other hand, when the pH is less than 1, care must be taken in handling, for example, the polishing composition becomes a strong acid and may cause corrosion in the polishing apparatus.
[0028]
The polishing machine used for polishing may be either a single-side polishing machine or a double-side polishing machine. As the polishing pad, a nonwoven fabric type, a suede type, a flocking type, a brushed type, or the like is used. The polishing may be performed in one stage, or may be performed in two or more stages in a plurality of times. When the polishing is performed in plural times, it is desirable to use the polishing composition in the final finish polishing. That is, it is desirable to perform polishing before the final polishing until the surface roughness (Ra) of the substrate surface becomes, for example, 30 ° or less, and then to perform final polishing using the polishing composition.
[0029]
When the surface of a nickel-phosphorus-plated aluminum alloy substrate is to be finish-polished, the substrate surface is polished with a polishing pad while an aqueous liquid (slurry) of the polishing composition of the present embodiment is supplied to the substrate surface. I do. At this time, since the polishing composition contains colloidal silica as an abrasive, the surface of the aluminum alloy is finish-polished at a constant polishing rate by the mechanical polishing action.
[0030]
Furthermore, since methanesulfonic acid and hydrogen peroxide are contained in the polishing composition, a chemical polishing action (etching) can be exhibited and aggregation of colloidal silica can be reduced. Since the substrate surface is etched and polished with colloidal silica in a state where the aggregation of colloidal silica is reduced, the polishing rate can be improved, and the minute undulation of the surface of the object to be polished can reach the target level quickly. be able to. In addition, hydrogen peroxide oxidizes the surface of the object to be polished and lowers its surface hardness, so that the mechanical polishing action of colloidal silica can be promoted.
[0031]
In addition, since the polishing composition contains a polishing accelerator such as citric acid, maleic acid or malic acid, the polishing rate is further enhanced in combination with methanesulfonic acid and hydrogen peroxide. . In addition, since the polishing composition contains phosphoric acid or a salt thereof, a protective film is formed on the surface of the object to be polished, and the occurrence of surface defects such as scratches and pits on the surface of the object to be polished is reduced. . After polishing with the polishing composition, the surface of the substrate is washed through a process such as water washing, and dried to produce a substrate for a magnetic disk.
[0032]
According to the present embodiment described in detail above, the following effects are exhibited.
-The polishing composition of this embodiment contains methanesulfonic acid and hydrogen peroxide together with silicon oxide as an abrasive. Therefore, the polishing rate can be improved by the mechanical polishing action of silicon oxide and the chemical polishing action of methanesulfonic acid and hydrogen peroxide. In addition, methanesulfonic acid and hydrogen peroxide can reduce the occurrence of defects on the substrate surface after polishing by the effect of reducing the aggregation of the abrasive, and can also improve the smoothness by reducing minute waviness on the substrate surface. it can.
[0033]
・ Also, citric acid, maleic acid, maleic anhydride, malic acid, glycolic acid, succinic acid, itaconic acid, malonic acid, iminodiacetic acid, gluconic acid, lactic acid, mandelic acid, tartaric acid, crotonic acid, nicotinic acid, acetic acid, By containing at least one polishing accelerator selected from the group consisting of adipic acid, glycine, alanine, histidine, formic acid, oxalic acid and sulfuric acid, the chemical polishing action can be enhanced and the polishing rate can be improved.
[0034]
Further, by containing phosphoric acid or a salt thereof, a protective film can be formed on the surface of the object to be polished, and generation of surface defects such as scratches and pits can be reduced.
[0035]
By using the polishing composition to finish-polish the surface of the magnetic disk substrate, it is possible to reduce the occurrence of defects on the substrate surface, and to reduce minute waviness on the substrate surface to make it smooth. Can be. Therefore, the flying height of the magnetic head can be reduced, and information loss and information reading failure can be prevented.
[0036]
It is to be noted that the above embodiment can be modified as follows.
When hydrogen peroxide is contained in the polishing composition, hydrogen peroxide and other components are separately prepared and stored in a separate state, and hydrogen peroxide is added to other components immediately before use. Is also good. With this configuration, it is possible to reduce decomposition of hydrogen peroxide in the polishing composition when the polishing composition is stored for a long time. Specifically, an abrasive and methanesulfonic acid, or a mixture of abrasive, methanesulfonic acid and phosphoric acid or a salt thereof are prepared and stored as a high-concentration stock solution, and when the stock solution is diluted immediately before polishing, There is a method in which hydrogen peroxide, hydrogen peroxide, a polishing accelerator, or a mixture thereof is dissolved to obtain a polishing composition having a predetermined composition. In addition, hydrogen peroxide, methanesulfonic acid, a polishing accelerator and phosphoric acid or a salt thereof are stored in a mixed state at a predetermined volume ratio, and immediately before polishing, the mixture and the abrasive are optionally added to water. A method of dispersing and dissolving is conceivable. When these methods are used, the polishing composition can be stored at a relatively high concentration, and can be stored for a long period of time even in an environment in which the stability of the abrasive is easily impaired.
[0037]
Examples of the object to be polished include a substrate for a magnetic disk, a semiconductor substrate such as a semiconductor wafer, and an optical lens. Examples of such a material include tungsten, copper, silicon, glass, and ceramic. Examples of the substrate for the magnetic disk include a substrate using nickel-iron (Ni-Fe) plated aluminum, boron carbide (BC), carbon (C), or the like.
[0038]
-The polishing composition is desirably stored in a concentrated state to facilitate management and reduce transportation costs, and is desirably mixed with a required amount of water and diluted at the time of use. However, when the concentration is excessive, the dispersion stability of the abrasive and the dissolution balance of other components are easily lost. Therefore, the volume ratio of the concentrated polishing composition to water is preferably 1: 1 to 7: concentrated polishing composition: water to be mixed. When this ratio is less than 1, the degree of concentration is low, and when it exceeds 7, the degree of concentration is high and the polishing composition is likely to aggregate.
