Abstract

Silicon is produced from silane at a molar concentration less than "normal" by decomposition at a surface heated by induction directly by means of a concentrator coil supplied with high-frequency alternating current. The reduced concentration may be produced either by using substantially pure silane having a sub-atmospheric pressure or a mixture of substantially pure silane and an inert gas in which the silane has a sub-atmospheric pressure. Decomposition may take place at the surface of a silicon seed which is moved continuously from the decomposition zone so as to build up a body of silicon, in which case the seed may be preheated by radiation from a surrounding carbon tube itself heated by induction, or at a surface of molybdenum, in which case preheating is unnecessary. Examples are given specifying pressure, decomposition temperature, flow rate, growth rate, and percentage decomposition. A silicon crystal is grown in a vacuum sealed apparatus, part of which is shown, in which silane is injected <PICT:0826575/III/1> from a water-cooled pipe 31 on to a seed 43 situated on a plate 18 which may be continuously lowered as the decomposition proceeds. A water-cooled single-turn induction heating coil in the form of an annular copper box 26 having a radial slot 27 is situated just above the seed. A perforated carbon tube 21 surrounds plate 18 at the commencement of heating, and is lowered when the seed has been sufficiently heated by radiation. The growth of the crystal may be viewed through a glass or quartz tube 42, a band 44 of which is maintained clean by a wiper 15. The induction heating coil may alternatively have more than one turn.
