Abstract:In this paper, the homogeneous products by silane pyrolysis in a vertical tube reactor were obtained under different operating conditions. The characterization techniques of FT-IR and SEM were applied to investigate the morphology, particle size distribution and components of the products. The effects of the operating conditions including the operating temperature, total gas flux and inlet silane concentration on the properties of the amorphous silicon products were studied. The content of hydrogen was especially analyzed by infrared diffuse reflection, which allows quantization of the special absorption peaks in SiH2 and SiH structures and helps with a further understanding on the mechanism of silane homogeneous pyrolysis by the structure form of the amorphous silicon. The results reveals that the product shows larger particle size under higher operating temperature(550℃), lower gas velocity(600mL/min) and higher silane concentration(5%). And higher operating temperature also results in wider range of particle size distribution. Besides, the Si-H structure is mostly affected by temperature and least by silane concentration.
