It has been found that the thermal asperity causes heat to be generated in the magnetoresistive head, which changes the resistance value of the head and adversely affects electromagnetic conversion.

This can be considered as various particles that cause thermal asperity, but particles that cause a sudden change in the flying of the head when the head floats (has a negative effect on the flying) (for example, angular particles or disk surfaces) For example, particles having a relatively steep rise) can be considered as one of the causes.

た。The inventors of the present invention have proposed a completely different viewpoint from the viewpoint of the end face of a glass substrate (for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 7-230621), which has been considered only from the viewpoint of the strength of the glass substrate.・ The end face of the glass substrate was considered from the viewpoint of preventing generation of particles causing asperity. As a result, the end surface (substrate side surface and chamfered portion) of the glass substrate in the state where the chemical etching is performed is
The surface is in a plain state (matte surface), and the level of edge processing that has been conventionally performed, such as processing the edge of a glass substrate by chemical etching, is insufficient, and particles that cause thermal asperity are generated. It has been found that the end face needs to be precisely polished by mechanical polishing or the like to a level that does not cause the end face to have an unprecedented level of mirror surface, and the present invention has been completed. When chemical etching is performed, there is a problem that misalignment easily occurs between the inner peripheral end surface and the outer peripheral end surface of the glass substrate, and there is a problem in performing chemical etching on the end surface of the glass substrate also on this surface. . In addition, a portion where the side surface of the glass substrate intersects with the chamfered portion (joining surface) and a portion where the main surface of the glass substrate intersects with the chamfered portion (joining surface) are angular,
It was found that the angular portion and the storage container were rubbed against each other to generate particles. Based on this recognition, the inventors have found that it is necessary to make the angular portion a curved surface so that the above-mentioned particles are not generated, and have completed the second invention of the present invention.

Preferably, Rmax: 0.01 to 2 μm, more preferably, Rmax: 0.01 to 1 μm, and even more preferably, Rmax: 0.01 to 0.5 μm. In addition, if the surface roughness of either the chamfered portion or the side wall portion of the glass substrate is a mirror surface within the above range, it is possible to suppress the generation of particles that cause thermal asperity based on the surface. In particular, in the first aspect of the present invention, after forming the chamfered portion, by performing the above-described mirror finishing on the chamfered portion, when the glass substrate is taken in and out of the storage container, the glass substrate is inclined and the container is inclined. Particles generated when contacting the surface can be effectively suppressed. In addition, when the normal chamfering is performed, the surface of the chamfered portion is rough and the tendency to generate particles is larger than that of the side wall portion. It is effective in suppressing the occurrence. In order to more completely suppress the generation of particles that cause thermal asperity, it is preferable that the surface roughness of both the chamfered portion and the side wall portion is a mirror surface having a predetermined value. Similarly, it is preferable that both the surface roughness Ra and Rmax are within a predetermined range. The “end surface of the glass substrate” in the first invention includes the inner end surface and the outer end surface. In order to more completely suppress the generation of particles that cause thermal asperity, it is preferable that the surface roughness of both the inner peripheral end surface and the outer peripheral end surface of the glass substrate is a mirror surface having a predetermined value. The main surface of the glass substrate (the surface on which the magnetic thin film or the like is formed) is also preferably set to have a surface roughness Ra of 2 nm or less in consideration of the adverse effects of thermal asperity.
