Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method of manufacturing a perpendicular magnetic recording medium substrate is capable of reducing the waviness of all wavelength components and a recording medium is capable of reducing contact with a magnetic head to improve the flying stability of the magnetic head. The method includes two polishing operations. The first operation includes polishing a substrate having a Ni—P-based alloy underlayer with a first porous material that includes 0.1 wt % to 25 wt % of alumina, titania, silica, and zirconia abrasive while supplying a first slurry liquid including an organic or inorganic acid and a first abrasive to the underlayer of the substrate. The second operation includes polishing a surface of the underlayer polished in the first polishing with a second porous material while supplying a second slurry liquid including an organic or inorganic acid and a second abrasive with a grain diameter smaller than that of the first abrasive.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of manufacturing a perpendicular magnetic recording medium substrate, comprising: first polishing a surface of an underlayer made of a Ni—P-based alloy with a first porous material, having an abrasive mixed in the first porous material prior to the first polishing in an amount that is in a range of from 3 wt % to 20 wt % of the weight of the first porous material, while supplying a first slurry liquid including an organic acid or an inorganic acid a…
