Method for producing high-purity polycrystalline silicon

摘要

The present invention provides technology for realizing higher purification of a polycrystalline silicon. First, trichlorosilane is prepared as a sample (S101) and then the carbon-containing impurities content in the trichlorosilane is analyzed by GC/MS-SIM method (S102). The quality of the trichlorosilane is determined based on the analysis results (S103) and the trichlorosilane determined to be a good material (S103: Yes) is used as the raw material for producing a high-purity polycrystalline silicon by CVD method (104). In case, the trichlorosilane determined to be a bad material (S103: No) is not used as the raw material for producing a polycrystalline silicon. When the impurities analysis by GC/MS-SIM method is performed using, as a separation column, a column having a non-polar column and a medium-polar column connected in series with each other, it is possible to simultaneously perform both of the separation of chlorosilanes and hydrocarbons and the separation of chlorosilanes and methylsilanes.
