[0003] Quartz glass crucibles are produced by molding and melting quartz powder and then removing part of the unmelted powder attached to the outer surface of the crucible. Conventionally, unmelted powder adhering to the outer surface is removed by blasting the entire outer surface of the quartz glass crucible with high-pressure liquid as necessary, or by processing only the outer surface of the cylindrical portion (straight portion) of the crucible with a lathe or the like. doing.

However, in the former method, the center line average roughness of the outer surface of the quartz glass crucible is 1%.
Thus, the dimensional accuracy was not sufficient. On the other hand, the surface of the graphite crucible is finished by high precision machining. Due to such differences in surface roughness and dimensional accuracy, non-uniform gaps are often generated at the joint surfaces of the two. Then, when pulling the Si single crystal, the quartz glass crucible softened due to high temperature is deformed,
Vibration sometimes occurred on the liquid surface of the molten Si. In that case, the characteristics of the pulled Si single crystal were adversely affected, and the yield was reduced.

In the latter method, the dimensional accuracy of the straight portion (cylindrical portion) is sufficient, but a gap is also formed between the straight portion and the carbon crucible in other portions, and similar liquid level vibration occurs. was there. Further, since the difference in surface roughness between the straight portion and the other portion is large, the heat ray transmittance in both portions is different during heating, which adversely affects the temperature control of the molten Si.
