A method of producing a silicon carbide sintered body jig using a reaction
sintering method, comprising: (a)dispersing a silicon carbide powder
and an organic substance as a carbon source in a solvent, to produce a
mixed slurry powder, (b) pouring the resulted slurry powder into a mold
and drying this to obtain a green body, (c) temporarily-sintering the
resulted green body under a vacuum atmosphere at 1800.degree. C., to
obtain a temporarily-sintered body, (d) temporarily-molding said
temporarily-sintered body, to obtain a temporarily-molded body, (e)
impregnating a melted metal silicon into the resulted temporarily-molded
body by a capillary phenomenon and reacting free carbon in said
temporarily-molded body with silicon sucked into said temporarily-molded
body by a capillary phenomenon, to obtain a silicon carbide sintered
body, and (f) subjecting the resulted silicon carbide sintered body to
precise processing, to obtain a silicon carbide sintered body jig.
