Abstract
The present invention provides a vitreous silica crucible which can suppress buckling and sidewall lowering of the crucible in multi-pulling. According to the present invention, provided is a vitreous silica crucible for pulling a silicon single crystal, comprising a mineralizer on an inner surface of the crucible, wherein the mineralizer contains at least one atoms selected from the group consisting of Ca, Sr, Ba, Ra, Ti, Zr, Cr, Mo, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, and Ag, and the concentration of the mineralizer on the inner surface is 1.0×105 to 1.0×1017 atoms/cm2.
