Abstract

A quartz glass crucible (1) has a structure wherein a peak of a distribution of a total concentration of Na, K, and Ca in a depth direction from an inner surface (10i) of the crucible is present at a position deeper than the inner surface (10i). In an exemplary embodiment, the quartz glass crucible is capable of improving the yield of a silicon single crystal by suppressing peeling-off of brown rings.
