Germanium tetrafluoride is a colorless gas, stable to heat, emits strong smoke in the air, and has a pungent odor like garlic. It is soluble in water and hydrolyzes to form GeO2 and H2GeF4.

[0003] Germanium tetrafluoride has a wide range of applications in the fields of semiconductors, optical fiber communications, etc. It can be used for doping, ion implantation, etc., and has important application value. Germanium tetrafluoride products used in the semiconductor field have very high purity. Crude germanium tetrafluoride usually contains low-boiling nitrogen, oxygen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, hydrogen, carbon tetrafluoride and high-boiling hydrogen fluoride, sulfur hexafluoride, etc. These impurities seriously affect the product performance of germanium tetrafluoride and greatly affect its application effect in high-end fields.

[0004] Chinese patent CN115231609A discloses a method and system for synthesizing and purifying high-purity germanium tetrafluoride, which belongs to the technical field of high-purity gas preparation. In the present invention, a replacement reaction is carried out with excess germanium tetrachloride and fluorine gas as raw materials to obtain a crude germanium tetrafluoride product. The reaction does not bring a large amount of reaction heat, and the reaction is easy to control. In addition, the excess germanium tetrachloride can ensure that the fluorine gas reacts completely. At the same time, a defluorination and dechlorination device is also provided in the synthesis and purification system of the present invention, and the defluorination and dechlorination device is filled with high-purity germanium particles. The high-purity germanium particles react with the generated chlorine gas and the entrained fluorine gas under high temperature conditions to generate germanium tetrachloride and germanium tetrafluoride. While removing the chlorine gas and fluorine gas in the crude germanium tetrafluoride product, the generated germanium tetrachloride is refluxed to the germanium tetrafluoride synthesis furnace as a raw material for further recycling. No tail gas is generated in the whole method, and the generated by-products can be further used as raw materials, which is economical and environmentally friendly.

[0005] Chinese patent CN112546659A discloses a device and method for purifying germanium tetrafluoride, including a gas supply device, a distillation tower, a condensing device, a transfer device and a storage device.

The distillation tower is connected to the transfer device through three branch pipelines. Condensing pipes and valves are respectively arranged on the pipelines. The condensing pipes are connected to the condensing device through the pipeline.
