Fluidized bed silicon deposition

Conference · · Conf. Rec. IEEE Photovoltaic Spec. Conf.; (United States)
OSTI ID:5902917
The growth of silicon on seed particles from the pyrolysis of silane in a fluidized bed reactor (FBR) was studied. The grown particles were shown to be crystalline and to have a structure which has been interpreted to indicate growth by chemical vapor deposition as well as by the collection (scavenging) of silicon clusters on seed particle surfaces. Scanning electron microscopy was used to study the product morphology.
