ABSTRACT:
Polycrystalline silicon is produced by a high pressure plasma process. A silicon halide or halosilane is reacted with hydrogen in the presence of a high pressure plasma to deposit silicon on a heated substrate. The effluent from this reaction is collected, the silicon-bearing compounds separated out, and re-introduced to the deposition reaction. The initial silicon bearing compound can be inexpensive silicon tetrachloride. Maximum utilization of all silicon bearing reaction products maximizes polycrystalline silicon production efficiency.
