PRODUCTION OF POLYCRYSTALLINE SILICON BY THE THERMAL DECOMPOSITION OF TRICHLOROSILANE IN A FLUIDIZED BED REACTOR

摘要

Processes for producing polycrystalline silicon by thermal decomposition of trichlorosilane are disclosed. The processes generally involve thermal decomposition of trichlorosilane in a fluidized bed reactor operated at reaction conditions that result in a high rate of productivity relative to conventional production processes.
