Abstract:

Removal of carbon impurities from trichlorosilane(SiHCl3) can improve the purity of polysilicon.However,the points of chlorodimethylsilane[(CH32SiHCl] and SiHCl3 are very close,and azeotrope is easily formed in the distillation process.Therefore,(CH32SiHCl in SiHCl3 is difficult to remove.It was proposed to use Cl2 as the chlorine source to convert(CH32SiHCl into high boiling methyl chlorosilane through thermal chlorination reaction to increase the relative volatility and facilitate the distillation.However,SiHCl3 and(CH32SiHCl were chlorinated at same time.Therefore,the change of the conversion of the two with temperature was investigated.The results showed that the conversions of(CH32SiHCl and SiHCl3 were 53.1% and 14.3% at 60 ℃ and 120 min,and the selectivity of(CH32SiHCl was the best.Finally,the reaction path was calculated and analyzed by density functional theory,and the reaction mechanism was determined.The difference between the reactions of SiHCl3 and(CH32SiHCl resulted from the different energy barriers for the reactions of the SiCl3· and(CH32SiCl· radicals with Cl2.The energy barrier of the reaction of SiCl3· with Cl2 was 60.4 kJ/mol higher than that of the reaction of(CH32SiCl·.
