Process for purifying silicon source material by high gravity roating packed beds

摘要

A process is disclosed for purification of silicon source material including trichlorosilane. First, the silicon source material in liquid state with impurities vapor and the other chlorosilane or silane are passing a first high gravity rotating packed bed with spongy metal, at a temperature lower than the boiling point of the silicon source material, the impurities vapor and the other chlorosilane or silane are separated from the liquid silicon source material; second, the silicon source material in liquid state is fed to a second high gravity rotating packed bed, oxygen is also fed to the second high gravity rotating packed bed to form impurity containing siloxane complexes with higher boiling point. Finally distilling to remove the impurity containing siloxane complexes from the silicon source material.
