- FIG. 2 is a diagram for schematically explaining the gas flow in the reaction space of the gas supplied into the bell jar 1 from the source gas supply nozzle 5.
- the source gas ejected from the source gas supply nozzle 5 ascends in the reaction space while accompanying the reaction gas flowing down along the inner wall of the bell jar 1.
- This rising gas flow collides with the upper inner wall of the bell jar 1 and changes its flow downward, and becomes a circulating flow and descends along the inner wall of the bell jar 1.
- a part of the descending gas flow rises again in the reaction space together with the raw material gas ejected from the raw material gas supply nozzle 5.
- the gas in the reaction space As the polycrystalline silicon deposits on the silicon core wire 3, the diameter of the polycrystalline silicon rod increases, but the gas in the reaction space generates an updraft near the polycrystalline silicon rod, while the polycrystalline silicon rod It circulates in the chamber 1 in a manner in which a downdraft is generated at a location away from the rod.
- the gas circulation in the reaction space is properly maintained until the deposition step is completed, and the surface of the silicon rod on which polycrystalline silicon is deposited is maintained. It is necessary to promote stable growth of silicon clusters in the boundary layer.
- the main factors that affect the deposition rate of polycrystalline silicon, the shape of the polycrystalline silicon rod, and the crystal characteristics (crystal grain size, size and amount of needle crystals, etc.) are the surface temperature of the silicon rod, the pressure in the reactor, and the trichlorosilane concentration in the precipitation boundary layer near the surface of the silicon rod generated by the silicon clusters.

- the diameter of the polycrystalline silicon rod may be about 5 mm at the initial stage of the precipitation process and 200 mm or more at the end of the precipitation process. That is, during the precipitation process, the reaction space inevitably decreases as the diameter of the polycrystalline silicon rod increases, and as a result, the gas temperature distribution and flow pattern in the reaction furnace change.
- the reactor is designed so that the reactor has a reaction space in the furnace that satisfies a ratio of 2.5 or more when the diameter of the polycrystalline silicon rod is 140 mm or more.
- FIG. 3 is a schematic cross-sectional view perpendicular to the straight body for explaining a configuration example of a reactor for producing polycrystalline silicon according to the present invention.
- Reference numeral 8 in the figure denotes a polycrystalline silicon rod obtained by depositing polycrystalline silicon on an inverted U-shaped silicon core wire. In the example shown in this figure, the four silicon core wires are arranged concentrically in the furnace.
- the inner diameter of the reactor perpendicular to the straight body of the reactor 1 is 2R 0 , and therefore the inner cross-sectional area S 0 is ⁇ R 0 2 .
- the reaction space sectional area ratio S is [S 0 -S R ] / S R.
- the size of the reaction furnace and the number of silicon core wires arranged in the furnace are determined so as to have a reaction space that satisfies the above-described conditions, and as a result, the polycrystalline silicon deposition process is completed.
- the gas circulation in the reaction space is properly maintained, and stable growth of silicon clusters in the boundary layer can be promoted.
- the reaction gas is efficiently cooled, and generation of silicon powder which is a by-product of chlorosilane is suppressed.
- a raw material gas having a trichlorosilane concentration of 30 mol% or more is supplied, if the reaction gas temperature locally exceeds 600 ° C., a large amount of silicon powder as a by-product of chlorosilane is generated in the furnace.
- silicon powder is generated, it once adheres to the inner wall surface of the metal bell jar, which peels off and adheres to the silicon rod, causing heavy metal contamination. This also causes abnormal growth of polycrystalline silicon protrusions.
- the surface temperature of the polycrystalline silicon rod during the precipitation reaction is as high as about 900 to 1200 ° C. Therefore, in an environment where the reaction gas is locally retained in the furnace, the temperature of the reaction gas is also 900 to 1200. The temperature rises to about 0 ° C., and the generation of the above silicon powder becomes remarkable. Therefore, it is necessary to keep the reaction gas temperature at about 600 ° C. or less. Once a circulating flow of a large amount of reaction gas is formed in the reaction furnace, the reaction gas once heated can be efficiently brought into contact with the inner wall of the bell jar that has been cooled with a coolant such as water. Is cooled efficiently.
- the reactor was designed so as to have a reactor reaction space satisfying 2.5 or more when the diameter of the crystalline silicon rod was 140 mm or more.

- STC silicon tetrachloride
- the linear velocity does not increase too much even if the flow rate of the reaction gas to be supplied is increased, specifically, the linear velocity is 0.3 m / s or less. Is desirable. If the linear velocity of the gas increases too much, convective heat transfer increases, and not only does the gas concentration in the boundary layer decrease and the gas temperature increases, but also the applied power is increased to maintain the surface temperature of the polycrystalline silicon rod. However, if the silicon rod has a large diameter, it may cause a melting problem at the center.
- the distance between the polycrystalline silicon rods growing in the furnace is not too close. If the distance between adjacent silicon rods is too close, the gas temperature in the furnace tends to rise, and an environment in which silicon powder is likely to be generated in the furnace is obtained. Specifically, it is desirable to secure a distance between the polycrystalline silicon rods of 75 mm or more.
- the center temperature of the silicon rod gradually increases.
- the temperature of polycrystalline silicon is 1200 ° C. or higher, recombination of crystals starts and the grain size increases. Since the melting point of polycrystalline silicon is about 1420 ° C., if the center temperature exceeds 1400 ° C., the vicinity of the center of the polycrystalline silicon rod may be melted, leading to an accident. Accordingly, it is necessary to appropriately control the amount of current flowing in the vicinity of the center of the polycrystalline silicon rod and maintain the temperature of the portion in an appropriate range.

- two sets of silicon core wires were arranged in the furnace, and in the example, six sets of silicon core wires were arranged in the furnace, and a polycrystalline silicon rod having a diameter of about 140 mm was grown.
- the reaction gas supplied into the furnace is a mixed gas of trichlorosilane and hydrogen (trichlorosilane concentration 25 mol%), and a high frequency current of 15 KHz is supplied to heat the silicon core wire (polycrystalline silicon rod).
- the reaction temperature is 1020 ° C.
- the pressure in the furnace during the precipitation reaction is 0.5 MPa.
- the deposition time was 165 hours in the example and 177 hours in the comparative example, and the final polycrystalline silicon rod diameter was 143 mm in the example and 145 mm in the comparative example.
- FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a change in the spatial cross-sectional area ratio accompanying the growth of polycrystalline silicon in the example and the comparative example.
- the calculation result of the change until the diameter of the polycrystalline silicon rod reaches 200 mm is shown, but as described above, the actual deposition process is terminated when the diameter reaches about 140 mm.
- the diameter of the polycrystalline silicon rod is already less than 2.5 when the diameter is 140 mm.
- FIG. 5 is a diagram showing the results of actual measurement of changes in the weight percent composition ratio of TCS and STC in the exhaust gas between Example and Comparative Example.
