Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

To provide polycrystalline silicon suitable as a raw material for production of single-crystalline silicon. A D/L value is set within the range of less than 0.40 when multiple pairs of silicon cores are placed in a reaction furnace in production of a polycrystalline silicon rod having a diameter of 150 mm or more by deposition according to a chemical vapor deposition process and it is assumed that the average value of the final diameter of the polycrystalline silicon rod is defined as D (mm) and the mutual interval between the multiple pairs of silicon cores is defined as L (mm).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for producing a polycrystalline silicon rod having a diameter of 150 mm or more by a deposition according to a chemical vapor deposition process, wherein a D/L value is set within a range of less than 0.40 when at least two pairs of silicon cores are placed in a reaction furnace and wherein an average value of a final diameter of the polycrystalline silicon rod is defined as D (mm) and a mutual interval between the at least two pairs of silicon cores is defined as L (mm). 2. The method for producing a polycrystalline silicon rod according to claim 1 , wherein a reaction pressure in the deposition according to the chemical vapor deposition process of the polycrystalline silicon is set to 0.2 MPa or more.
