Title:
SYSTEM FOR PRODUCING POLYCRYSTALLINE SILICON, APPARATUS FOR PRODUCING POLYCRYSTALLINE SILICON, AND PROCESS FOR PRODUCING POLYCRYSTALLINE SILICON
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/030495
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A technique is provided with which heat is effectively recovered from a cooling medium that was used for cooling a reactor, and inclusion of dopant impurities from the inner wall of the reactor during deposition of polycrystalline silicon within the reactor is reduced to enable high-purity polycrystalline silicon to be produced. Hot water (15) having a temperature higher than the normal boiling point is used as a cooling medium to be supplied to a reactor (10), and the temperature of the inner wall of the reactor is kept at 370ºC or lower. With a pressure control part disposed for a cooling-medium tank (20), the pressure of the hot water (15) to be recovered is reduced to generate steam. Some of the water is taken out as steam and is reutilized as a heat source for another use. The inner wall of the reactor (10) includes a corrosion-resistant layer (11a) disposed on the side facing the inside of the furnace, and the material of the layer (11a) is an alloy material having a composition in which the value of R defined by R=[Cr]+[Ni]-1.5[Si] is 40% or higher.
