Abstract
Buckling of a vitreous silica crucible 12 or inward fall of a sidewall 15 is effectively suppressed. The vitreous silica crucible 12 includes the cylindrical sidewall 15 having an upward-opening rim, a mortar-shaped bottom 16 including a curve, and a round portion 17 connecting the sidewall 15 and the bottom 16. In the vitreous silica crucible 12 the per-unit area thermal resistance in the thickness direction of the sidewall 15 is higher than that of the round portion 17.
