Abstract: A flow rate control valve for reducing contamination of a controlled fluid with particles, to maintain cleanliness of the fluid, and performing high-speed control of a minute flow rate. The valve includes a valve block, diaphragm, and actuator, wherein by a minute pressure received on the diaphragm from the actuator, the fluid that has flowed in one flew-path in an upstream portion of the valve block is discharged via a space between an inside surface of the valve block and an inside surface of the diaphragm from another path in a downstream portion of the valve block. A peripheral portion of the diaphragm and an upper edge surface of the valve block are integrated with each other by welding such that an inner peripheral surface of the diaphragm and an inner peripheral surface of the valve block are flush without a level difference or a-gap therebetween in a welded portion.
