A quartz glass plate has a quartz glass plate body and a quartz glass member adhered to the quartz glass plate body through an adhesive layer, where the adhesive layer contains silica, and a sum of concentrations of Li, Na, and K ions, being alkali metal ions and Ca ions, being alkaline earth metal ions contained in the adhesive layer is 10 ppm by mass or less. Consequently, a step with a uniform thickness can be formed, and a quartz glass plate is not easily damaged by irradiation with a light containing an ultraviolet ray.

One aspect is a method for producing a multilayered silica glass body. The method involves producing a multilayered silica glass body in which a transparent silica glass layer is provided on the surface of a siliceous substrate made of a siliceous material. The method includes preparing the siliceous substrate, preparing a silica slurry in which silica particles are dispersed in a liquid, applying the silica slurry to the surface of the siliceous substrate, leveling the silica slurry applied to the surface of the siliceous substrate by applying vibration to the siliceous substrate, drying the leveled silica slurry, and vitrifying the dried silica slurry by heating to form a transparent silica glass layer. As a result, a transparent silica glass layer of uniform thickness is obtained at excellent yield, and a method for producing a multilayered silica glass body easily in a short time is provided.

Provided is a silica glass member for hermetic sealing of an ultraviolet SMD LED element to be suitably used for hermetic sealing of, and as a transmission window material for, a surface mount-type package (SMD) having an ultraviolet LED mounted thereon and configured to emit ultraviolet light in a wavelength range of from 200 nm to 350 nm. The silica glass member for hermetic sealing includes a silica glass substrate, which is homogeneously and integrally formed without an internal boundary, wherein the silica glass substrate has: a first surface on an inside opposed to an SMD LED element; and a second surface on an outside corresponding to the first surface, wherein an outer peripheral portion of the first surface has formed therein a substrate joining plain surface for joining to the container outer periphery joining plain surface, and wherein the second surface on the outside corresponding to the first surface has formed therein a lens-like convex portion configured to process emitted light from the ultraviolet SMD LED element.
