Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of polysilicon production, and in particular relates to a chlorosilane raw material purification system and method for reducing donor impurities and host acceptor impurities in polysilicon. Background Art

[0002] High-purity polysilicon is typically produced using a CVD process called the Siemens process, using chlorosilane gases, primarily trichlorosilane, as raw materials in a hydrogen atmosphere. Therefore, the chlorosilanes used as raw materials for high-purity polysilicon are also required to be extremely pure.

[0003] In particular, when impurities contained in raw chlorosilanes are impurities such as phosphorus and arsenic that act as donors in silicon crystals, or impurities such as boron and aluminum that act as acceptors, even trace amounts of these impurities can significantly affect the electrical properties (resistivity) of the resulting polycrystalline silicon. Therefore, providing a technology that efficiently removes these donor and acceptor impurities contained in raw chlorosilanes, resulting in high purity, is of great practical significance.

[0004] Generally, chlorosilanes for polycrystalline silicon production are produced by obtaining a chlorosilane distillate from metallurgical-grade silicon (so-called metallic-grade silicon, hereinafter referred to as "metallic silicon") containing a relatively large amount of impurities by a known method, and then further purifying the chlorosilane distillate by distillation or other methods to a high purity.

[0005] However, metallic silicon typically contains these donor and acceptor impurities at levels ranging from several hundred ppb (atomic) to several hundred ppm (atomic) in atomic ratio. Consequently, these impurities are not fully removed during the purification process of the chlorosilane distillate, resulting in residual donor and acceptor impurities in the resulting chlorosilanes. These residual impurities can degrade the quality of polycrystalline silicon.

[0006] As a method for obtaining a chlorosilane distillate, a hydrogenation step is known in which a substance containing tetrachlorosilane (SiCl4) is reacted with hydrogen in the presence of metallic silicon to obtain a chlorosilane distillate containing trichlorosilane (SiHCl3) (for example, see Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2008-532907 (Patent Document 1), Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 58-217422 (Patent Document 2), Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 58-161915 (Patent Document 3), etc.).

[0007] The hydrogenation reaction proceeds according to the following reaction formula.

[0008] 3SiC14+2H2+Si→4SiHC13[Formula 1] Chlorosilane distillate is a fraction of crude chlorosilanes synthesized by hydrogenation reaction, and is generally a mixture of chlorosilanes such as dichlorosilane (SiH2Cl2), trichlorosilane (SiHCl3), and tetrachlorosilane (SiCl4) as main components.

[0009] Another known method for obtaining a chlorosilane distillate is a chlorination step in which metallic silicon is brought into contact with hydrogen chloride in the presence of a catalyst to cause a chlorination reaction to produce a chlorosilane distillate containing trichlorosilane (see, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2005-67979 (Patent Document 4)).

[0010] The chlorination reaction proceeds according to the following reaction formula.

[0011] Si + 3HCl → SiHC13 + H2 [Formula 2] The chlorosilane distillate is a fraction of crude chlorosilanes synthesized by a chlorination reaction, and in this case, it is generally a mixture containing chlorosilanes such as dichlorosilane, trichlorosilane, and tetrachlorosilane as main components.

[0012] It is generally believed that donor and acceptor impurities contained in metallic silicon undergo simultaneous hydrogenation and chlorination during the production of crude chlorosilanes, contaminating the crude chlorosilanes in the form of compounds with various structures. While purification of these crude chlorosilanes can yield high-purity chlorosilanes, the boiling points of the donor and acceptor impurity compounds are close to that of trichlorosilane, making separation and removal of these impurities difficult using conventional distillation methods.

[0013] Furthermore, when polycrystalline silicon is produced using chlorosilanes from which donor impurities and acceptor impurities have not been sufficiently removed as a raw material, polycrystalline silicon having desired characteristics cannot be obtained.

[0014] In light of the above circumstances, various methods have been proposed for removing donor and acceptor impurities from chlorosilane distillates. For example, a method has been proposed in which an organic substance is added to the chlorosilane distillate to form adducts with the donor or acceptor impurities, and then the adducts are purified by distillation to obtain high-purity chlorosilanes.

[0015] Specifically, Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2005-67979 (Patent Document 4) discloses a method of adding ethers to chlorosilanes and then performing distillation purification. Furthermore, U.S. Patent No. 3,126,248 (Patent Document 5) discloses a method of removing impurities by adding organic compounds containing dioxane, benzaldehyde, methyl ethyl ketone, dimethylglyoxime, and valerolactone. Furthermore, Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2009-62213 (Patent Document 6) discloses a method of reacting chlorosilanes with oxygen in the presence of benzaldehyde to convert impurities into high-boiling-point compounds, and then subjecting the treated chlorosilanes to distillation, etc., to separate the high-boiling-point compounds as impurities from the chlorosilanes.

[0016] Furthermore, a method has been proposed in which a metal chloride is added to a chlorosilane distillate to form an adduct with a donor impurity or an acceptor impurity, and then the adduct is purified by distillation to obtain high-purity chlorosilanes.

[0017] Specifically, U.S. Patent No. 2,821,460 (Patent Document 7) discloses a method of adding aluminum chloride to chlorosilanes to form an AlCl3·PCl5 complex, followed by purification by distillation. Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 4-300206 (Patent Document 8) discloses a method of adding a high-concentration aqueous solution of an inorganic salt such as TiCl4 to hydrolyze impurities to form high-boiling-point compounds, followed by purification by distillation.

[0018] Furthermore, a method has been proposed in which impurities contained in chlorosilanes are removed by adsorbing them onto alumina, silica gel, activated carbon, or the like.

[0019] Specifically, the following method is disclosed in the specification of U.S. Patent No. 3252752 (Patent Document 9): a substance having a lone pair of electrons (for example, a substance such as propionitrile having a nitrogen atom or benzaldehyde having an oxygen atom) is fixed to an adsorbent such as activated carbon or silica gel, and a chlorosilane gas is introduced therein to capture and remove impurities. In addition, the specification of German Patent No. 1289834 (Patent Document 10) discloses a method for removing impurities by contacting chlorosilanes with activated alumina in a liquid or vapor state. In addition, the specification of U.S. Patent No. 4112057 (Patent Document 11) discloses a method for removing impurities by contacting chlorosilanes with metal oxides such as hydrated silica gel or alumina gel, and the publication of Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-2407 (Patent Document 12) discloses a method for removing impurities by contacting chlorosilanes with fluoride salts of alkali metals or alkaline earth metals.

[0020] In addition to these methods, the following method has been proposed: a small amount of oxygen is introduced into chlorosilanes under high temperature conditions to cause a reaction to form a complex, the complex is reacted with a donor impurity or an acceptor impurity to form a new complex, and the new complex is separated in the distillation process of the chlorosilanes, thereby obtaining chlorosilanes with a low impurity concentration (see Japanese Patent Publication No. 58-500895 (Patent Document 13)).
