Abstract
The present invention provides polycrystalline silicon suitably used as a raw material for producing single crystal silicon. The polycrystalline silicon rod of the present invention is a polycrystalline silicon rod grown by chemical vapor deposition performed under a pressure of 0.3 MPaG or more, wherein when a plate-shaped sample piece collected from an arbitrary portion of the polycrystalline silicon rod is observed with a microscope with a temperature increased from a temperature lower than a melting point of silicon up to a temperature exceeding the melting point of silicon, a heterogeneous crystal region, which is a crystal region including a plurality of crystal grains heterogeneously assembled and including no needle-like crystal, having a diameter exceeding 10 μm is not observed.
