RECOVERY OF SILICON FROM KERF SILICON WASTE

摘要

A process for the recovery of silicon includes providing silicon-containing solids recovered from a silicon manufacturing process, said recovered silicon-containing solids being substantially free of semiconductor dopants; converting the recovered silicon-containing solids into gaseous silicon forms; subjecting to purification by minimal distillation; collecting the gaseous silicon forms as a condensed liquid of silicon-containing compounds; and utilizing the silicon-containing compounds for silicon deposition.
