Removal Rate of Phosphorus from Molten Silicon

An electron beam melting technique under high vacuum is known to be effective for the removal of phosphorus from silicon, however, the rate of removal is not yet adequate. In order to improve the removal rate, the effects of four experimental factors on this rate were investigated. Raising temperatu...

description An electron beam melting technique under high vacuum is known to be effective for the removal of phosphorus from silicon, however, the rate of removal is not yet adequate. In order to improve the removal rate, the effects of four experimental factors on this rate were investigated. Raising temperature of the surface of molten silicon provide effective, neither residual gas pressure in a vacuum chamber nor stirring molten silicon improve the rate, while supplying reactant gas to molten silicon had some effect.
