PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a manufacturing method of silicon which can manufacture silicon at a lower electric power consumption, at a low cost and efficiently. SOLUTION: The method comprises supplying a raw material silicon A into a reaction vessel 1 that is composed of a cylindrical crucible body 2 and a lid part 3, then heating the silicon A at a temperature of not lower than 1,000°C and not higher than the melting point of silicon, passing a reaction gas G of either a silane-based gas or a silane-based gas and hydrogen gas to the heated silicon through a raw material gas introducing pipe 4 that is located on the lid part 3, growing silicon that is generated by the decomposition or reduction of the silane-based gas onto the surface of the raw material silicon A, then removing the lid part 3 from the reaction vessel 1, and recovering the silicon within the reaction vessel 1 by heating it at a temperature of not lower than its melting point and by melting and falling it.
