Abstract: Buckling of a vitreous silica crucible 12 or inward fall of a sidewall 15 is effectively suppressed. The vitreous silica crucible 12 includes the cylindrical sidewall 15 having an upward-opening rim, a mortar-shaped bottom 16 including a curve, and a round portion 17 connecting the sidewall 15 and the bottom 16. In the vitreous silica crucible 12, the per-unit area thermal resistance in the thickness direction of the sidewall 15 is higher than that of the round portion 17.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a vitreous silica crucible 1 includes a cylindrical straight body portion 10a, a corner portion 10c formed at lower end of the straight body portion 10a, and a bottom portion 10b connected with the straight body portion 10a via the corner portion 10c. Moreover, the vitreous silica crucible 1 includes a bubble-containing opaque layer 11 constituting an outer layer, and a bubble-free transparent layer 12 constituting an inner layer. A boundary surface, between the opaque layer 11 and the transparent layer 12 in at least the straight body portion 10a, forms a periodic wave surface in a vertical direction. The vitreous silica crucible can suppress deformation under high temperature.
