Abstract

The invention relates to a crucible for melting and crystallizing a metal, a semiconductor material, or a metal alloy, wherein a crucible wall of a crucible base body is made at least partially of a crucible material comprising silicon nitride and silicon dioxide at a weight ratio of between about 1:10 and about 1:1 (Si3N4 : SiO2). The invention further relates to a component for a crucible base body of a crucible for melting and crystallizing a metal, a semiconductor material, or a metal alloy, wherein a component segment is made at least partially of a crucible material comprising silicon nitride and silicon dioxide at a weight ratio of between about 1:10 and about 1:1 (Si3N4 : SiO2), and to a method for producing a component for a crucible base of a crucible for melting and crystallizing a metal, a semiconductor material, or a metal alloy, wherein a component segment is formed at least partially of a crucible material comprising silicon nitride and silicon dioxide at a weight ratio of between about 1:10 and about 1:1 (Si3N4 : SiO2).
