The present invention provides a carrier which is used for processing of a substrate for magnetic disks having good durability, and which is capable of reducing the occurrence of scratches or the like during the processing. A carrier according to the present invention is a carrier for holding a disk-shaped substrate in a horizontal position when a processing surface of a lapping plate is pressed against a main surface of the substrate and the main surface of the substrate is processed by relatively moving the substrate and the processing surface of the lapping plate. This carrier is formed using a composite material that contains glass fibers and a resin material, and is provided with a hold hole for holding the disk-shaped substrate. The inner circumferential wall surface of the hold hole is provided with a plurality of recesses in which no stretched glass fibers are present in the in-plane direction of the carrier, and the plurality of recesses are filled with a resin. |
