Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention provides a polycrystalline silicon rod having a total diameter of at least 150 mm, including a core A having a porosity of 0 to less than 0.01 around a thin rod, and at least two subsequent regions B and C which differ in porosity by a factor of 1.7 to 23, the outer region C being less porous than region B.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A polycrystalline silicon rod having a total diameter of at least 150 mm, comprising: a core A having a porosity of 0 to less than 0.01, which is around a thin rod; a region B around core A; and a region C around region B, wherein regions B and C differ in porosity by a factor of 1.7 to 23, and region C is less porous than region B. 2. The polycrystalline silicon rod as claimed in claim 1 , wherein core A extends up to a diame…
