A method for making polycrystalline silicon from a gas comprising at least one silicon precursor compound is disclosed. The method can be effected from a gas comprising a polycrystalline silicon precursor compound in a chemical vapor deposition system by establishing a first flow pattern of the gas in a chemical vapor deposition reaction chamber, promoting reaction of at least a portion of the at least one precursor compound from the gas having the first flow pattern into polycrystalline silicon, establishing a second flow pattern of the gas in the reaction chamber, and promoting reaction of at least a portion of the at least one precursor compound from the gas having the second flow pattern into polycrystalline silicon. The chemical vapor deposition system can comprise a gas source comprising a gas with at least one precursor compound; a reaction chamber at least partially defined by a base plate and a bell jar; a first nozzle group disposed in one of the base plate and the bell jar, the first nozzle group fluidly connected to the gas source through a first manifold and a first flow regulator; a second nozzle group including a plurality of nozzles disposed in one of the base plate and the bell jar, the plurality of nozzles fluidly connected to the gas source through a second manifold and a second flow regulator. |
