Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for casting silicon capable of preventing a mold from becoming unusable caused by the peeling of a releasing agent or the adhering of the releasing agent to the mold by using the mixture of silicon nitride with silicon dioxide at a specific ratio as the releasing agent in the casting of the silicon. SOLUTION: This method for casting silicon by applying a releasing agent over the inside surface of a mold and pouring a molten silicon fluid, is to use a mixed material of silicon nitride with silicon dioxide at (28:72)-(75:25) weight ratio as the releasing agent. In this case, it is preferable to apply >=0.13g/cm<2> silicon nitride and silicon dioxide.
