Abstract
A method for evaluating a quartz glass crucible constituted by an outer layer formed of an opaque quartz glass containing a bubble, and an inner layer formed of a transparent quartz glass. The method includes steps of preparing a quartz glass crucible to be evaluated, irradiating the quartz glass crucible to be evaluated with ultraviolet rays as an excitation light, detecting a blue fluorescence emitted from the quartz glass crucible irradiated with the ultraviolet rays, and evaluating a state of oxygen deficiency defects in the outer layer of the quartz glass crucible on the basis of existence or non-existence of the blue fluorescence. The method allows hydrogen doping and water vapor introduction to attain nondestructive and easy evaluation on the state of the oxygen deficiency defects generated in the quartz glass crucible.
