Abstract

See full text

A method for making magnetic disks comprises the steps of: applying a protective layer of material on a sheet of glass; b) cutting the sheet of glass into glass squares; c) stacking the glass squares; d) removing a circular core from the stack of glass squares, thereby defining the inner diameter of the glass substrates being formed; e) using a cutting annulus to cut through the stack of glass squares, thereby forming a stack of glass disks; f) subjecting the stack of glass disks to an edge polishing process to round the corners of the glass disks both at the inner and outer diameters; h) unstacking the glass disks; i) removing the protective layers from the glass disks; j) subjecting the glass disks to a chemical strengthening step; and k) sputtering an underlayer, magnetic layer and protective overcoat onto the glass substrate to thereby form a magnetic disk.
