The metallurgical production of silicon (MG-Si) implies the reduction of quartz with carbon in electric arc furnaces to obtain the silicon. Some wood chips are normally added to the reacting mix too, in order to get permeability in the mass and promote reaction between gaseous intermediates present in the furnace, as SiO (g) and CO (g) ( Schei ...

The first class of techniques includes different methodologies for the reduction of various silicon precursors to elemental Si. For instance, the silane process relies on the synthesis of trichlorosilane by reacting MGS with SiCl 4 and molecular hydrogen and on the successive disproportion of silicon tetrachloride to silane. Finally, the SiH 4 is pyrolysed to solar grade …
