Title: Purification of silane via laser-induced chemistry

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6191972

Impurities such as PH/sub 3/, AsH/sub 3/, and B/sub 2/H/sub 6/ may be removed from SiH/sub 4/ by means of selective photolysis with ultraviolet radiation of the appropriate wavelength. An ArF laser operating at 193 nm provides an efficient and effective radiation source for the photolysis.
