By the application of well‐known thermodynamics, growth kinetics, diffusion processes, and experimental results, a reasonable explanation for the behavior of silica in contact with liquid silicon is presented. Decomposition of silica to solid , and diffusion of silicon and oxygen ions through solid , play important parts in the discussion. The consequences for Czochralski growth of silicon crystals are outlined.
