An Apparatus for the Preparation of Semiconductor Grade Silicon by Film Boiling

“…Reducing the iodine pressure reduces the temperature at which decomposition can take place. A discussion of this equilibrium has been made by Schlifer and Morcher (18,19) and by Loonam (20). It is interesting to note that, with an adequate supply of iodine at a total pressure of 1 atm, the formation of silicon tetraiodide is self-sustaining, sometimes producing temperatures sufficient to soften quartz (Appendix I).…”
