Abstract

A glass substrate processing method includes irradiating laser light L onto a glass substrate 1 such that the laser light L is focused within the glass substrate 1, thereby forming a high density area 3 that has a higher density than areas where the laser light L is not irradiated around the portion where the laser light L is focused; and performing chemical etching on the glass substrate 1 using an etching solution such that at least a portion of the high density area is allowed to remain, thereby forming a projection 2 on a surface 1a of the glass substrate 1.
