Abstract:
A glass plate is a rectangular plate having a thickness less than 0.68 mm. A square measurement region having a length of 100 mm per side and cut out from a central region of the glass plate has a degree of flatness of 30 μm or less. When subjected to first heat treatment in which the measurement region is kept at 700° C. for 4 hours and then cooled from 700° C. to 400° C. at a rate of 50° C./hour, the measurement region has a thermal contraction rate of 130 ppm or less. When subjected to second heat treatment in which the measurement region is kept at Tg-160° C. for 60 seconds and then cooled to room temperature in ambient air, where Tg (° C.) represents a glass transition temperature of the glass plate, an amount of change in the degree of flatness of the measurement region is 10 μm or less.

A ring-shaped glass spacer is to be arranged in contact with a magnetic disk in a hard disk drive device. A film that contains at least one of tin oxide, zinc oxide, and titanium oxide is formed on each surface of a main surface, and an outer circumferential edge surface, and an inner circumferential edge surface of the glass spacer. The thickness of the film on a center portion of the outer circumferential edge surface of the glass spacer is larger than the thickness of the film on a center portion of the inner circumferential edge surface of the glass spacer.

Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a ring-shaped glass spacer to be arranged in contact with a magnetic disk in a hard disk drive device includes processing for forming a film on the surface of a glass spacer main body, which is the base of the glass spacer. In the processing, the film is formed by passing the glass spacer main body through a location where the components of the film are in a spray state while an outer circumferential edge surface of the glass spacer main body is being rotated in a circumferential direction thereof.
