Abstract

Silicon is deposited from a gas or vapour on to a rod of silicon heated by induction and held at each end by a support maintained at a temperature below that at which impurities, which would <PICT:0908373/III/1> <PICT:0908373/III/2> render silicon unsuitable for use as a semi-conductor, would be evolved. The silicon may be deposited from a mixture of hydrogen and silico-chloroform or silicon tetrachloride. The rod of silicon may be at a temperature of 1100 DEG -1350 DEG C. during deposition. Quartz supports are maintained at below 800 DEG C. The rod may be freed from surface contaminations by etching and then heating in the reaction chamber to 1200 DEG -1400 DEG C. for at least a quarter of an hour in a vacuum or hydrogen. The rod may be preheated before induction heating by radiation or by the introduction into the reaction chamber of hot hydrogen or inert gas. As shown in Fig. 1, the reactant gas passes through inlets 5 into an annular chamber 1 surrounded by an induction heating coil 4 and thence through orifices 6 into an inner chamber 1b which contains a rod 2 having supports 3 outside the field of the induction coil. As shown in Fig. 2, the reactant gas passes from a tube 11 via orifices 6 to a reaction chamber 1 containing a rod 2 having water cooled supports 3 outside the field of the induction coil.
