Abstract
A glass substrate for a magnetic recording medium has a textured surface having numerous grooves extending in the circumferential direction of the glass substrate. The average roughness of the textured surface is 0.4 nm or less. The number of the grooves is 15 or more per micrometer. The average depth of the grooves is 2 nm or less. The grooves are formed by mechanical texturing using a texturing liquid applied between a texturing tape and the surface of a blank glass substrate rotating. The texturing liquid is an aqueous dispersion of fine diamond abrasive grains.
