Abstract
In a method of manufacturing a glass substrate for an information recording medium including a step for chemically strengthening the glass substrate by contacting the glass substrate with chemical strengthening processing liquid containing chemical strengthening salt, concentration of Fe and Cr is 500 ppb or less in said chemical strengthening salt, respectively. The concentration may be detected by the use of an ICP (Inductively Coupled Plasma) emission spectrometry analyzing method or a fluorescent X-ray spectroscopy analyzing method.
Claims12
A method of manufacturing a glass substrate for an information recording medium including a step for chemically strengthening the glass substrate by contacting the glass substrate with chemical strengthening processing liquid containing chemical strengthening salt, wherein:
- the number of particles having a particle diameter of 0.2 μm or more is 120000/g or less in said chemical strengthening salt,
- the number being determined from a difference between the particle number in a sample dissolved with the chemical strengthening salt in a reference liquid measured by the use of a liquid particle counter and the particle number in the reference liquid.
A method of manufacturing a glass substrate for an information recording medium including a step for chemically strengthening the glass substrate by contacting the glass substrate with chemical strengthening processing liquid containing chemical strengthening salt, wherein:
- the number of particles having a particle diameter of 0.2 μm or more is 900/mm2 or less in the chemical strengthening salt when the particles contained in the chemical strengthening salt of 1 g are captured by a filter having a minimum capturing particle diameter of 0.2 μm and a diameter of 13 mm in case that secondary electron image or back-scattered electron image is observed by a scanning electron microscope by the use of a secondary electron detector or a back-scattered electron image detector.
A method of manufacturing a glass substrate for an information recording medium including a chemical strengthening step for strengthening the glass substrate by replacing a part of first ions contained in the glass substrate by second ions in a processing liquid having an ion diameter larger than the first ion by contacting the glass substrate with chemical strengthening processing liquid containing chemical strengthening salt, wherein:
- the number of particles having a particle diameter of 0.2 μm or more contained in said chemical strengthening salt is 12000/ml or less.
