Abstract

A surface of a silicon carbide film which is an x-ray membrane 12 is made so that the surface roughness thereof may be 1.0 nm or less in terms of Ra (center-line average roughness) and the surface may have no scratch of 0.25 .mu.m or more in width. The surface of the silicon carbide film, which is the x-ray membrane 12 is polished a diamond particle, of a predetermined particle diameter, and colloidal silica dispersed in a solution containing hydrogen peroxide as an abrasive material, so that the surface is highly precise.
