โฆ Synopsis
This paper describes the overall operation of a 15 cm dia. fluidizedbed reactor for silicon production via silane pyrolysis. The fluidized-bed reactor has been characterized by its performance data and parametric effects. A withdrawal system is used to selectively remove big particles. Seed generation is provided by a fluid jet milling device, which avoids metallic grinding contamination. The silicon particle size growth calculated from a scavengingldeposition model agrees with actual size measurements.

Chemical synthesis and material processing in the highly reactive environment of a gas plasma has been a fertile field of research. The plasma state is well suited to such applications, as the ionized gas may be both an energy transfer medium and a source of reactive intermediates. The wide variety
