Abstract
Abstract A pyrolytic boron nitride crucible is provided. The crucible contains at least five wall layers consisting of first and second wall layers. The thickness of each of the first wall layers is 5 to 100 microns and the thickness of each of the second wall layers is 1/50 to 1/1 of that of the first wall layer. The total thickness of the entire wall layers is 0.5 to 3 mm. The first wall layer is bonded to and laminated alternately with the second wall layer.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
151 words
A pyrolytic boron nitride crucible having a multi-walled pyrolytic boron nitride structure comprising at least five wall layers of pyrolytic boron nitride, each of first pyrolytic boron nitride wall layers having a thickness of 20 to 100 microns, each of second pyrolytic boron nitride wall layers having a thickness of 1/50 to 1/2 of that of each first wall layer, all pyrolytic boron nitride wall layers combined having a thickness of 0.5 to 3 mm, and said first wall layer being bonded to and laminated alternately with said second wall layer, whereby peeling of one wall layer is prevented from affecting other wall layers so that peeling of one wall layer is not propagated into an adjacent layer, whereupon an exfoliated innermost pyrolytic boron nitride layer is peeled and a pyrolytic boron nitride layer adjacent said exfoliated innermost layer becomes a new innermost wall layer for subsequent use of the crucible.
