Abstract:
The method and apparatus for producing liquid silicon of high purity and for casting silicon. Hydrogen and a hydrogenated silane in gaseous state are mixed, preferably with a source of a small amount of oxygen, in a heated chamber producing the liquid silicon, with the exhaust gases bubbling out of the melt under a baffle. The chamber for the melt of liquid silicon preferably is lined with silicon dioxide. The liquid silicon may be used in making high purity vitreous silica and may be used in making castings of silicon. In making castings, the liquid silicon is accumulated in a second chamber and is periodically drawn from the second chamber into a third chamber which contains the mold for the casting.

Abstract:
A method is provided for producing high purity oxide products of phosphorus and silicon such as, for example, a P2O5 and SiO2 glass wherein a silicon alkoxide is directly reacted with phosphorous acid, phosphoric acid, phosphorus pentoxide, or mixtures thereof, in the absence of any addition of a separate hydrolysis catalyst to produce a single phase solution reaction product and this reaction product with water is converted to a two-phase system, which two-phase system is removed of its free liquid components and the residue is then thermally decomposed to produce a product of phosphorus and silicon. This oxide product may be converted to a substantially unitary shape by conventional melting techniques or by conventional sintering techniques. The product may be used as an additive in conventional glass melting operations to supply at least a portion, and preferably all, of the P2O5 and/or silica requirements of the batch or the product may be compacted and suitably fired into a substantially unitary body, which body is an excellent target in sputtering applications for forming films on semiconductive materials such as, for example, silicon chips.
