    Abstract: A member for a charged particle beam device (56), which is used for a charged particle beam device (1c), includes a frame (55) to be attached to a frame (3c), and a diaphragm element (18a) provided in the frame (55). In the diaphragm element (18a), a diaphragm (19), which air-tightly separates the inside and the outside of a vacuum chamber (4a) from each other in a state where the pressure inside the vacuum chamber (4a) partitioned by the frame (3c) and the frame (55) is reduced more than the pressure outside the vacuum chamber (4a), and allows a charged particle beam to be transmitted therethrough, is formed. Moreover, in the diaphragm element (18a), a buffer film (33) for preventing a sample (12) and the diaphragm (19) from coming into contact with each other is formed so as to be positioned on a sample stage (22) side rather than on the diaphragm (19).
