| Abstract | The hydrochlorinationprocess is a necessary technologicalstepfor the production of polycrystalline silicon using the Siemens method.In this work, the adsorption behaviors of silicon tetrachloride (SiCl4), silicon dichloride (SiCl2), dichlorosilane (SiH2Cl2), trichlorosilane (SiHCl3), HCl,and H2 on the Si(100) surface were investigated by first-principlescalculations. The different adsorption sites and adsorption orientationswere taken into account. The adsorption energy, charge transfer, andelectronic properties of different adsorption systems were systematicallyanalyzed. The results show that all of the molecules undergo dissociativechemisorption at appropriate adsorption sites, and SiHCl3 has the largest adsorption strength. The analysis of charge transferindicates that all of the adsorbed molecules behave as electron acceptors.Furthermore, strong interactions can be found between gas moleculesand the Si(100) surface as proved by the analysis of electronic properties.In addition, SiCl2 can be formed by the dissociation ofSiCl4, SiH2Cl2, and SiHCl3. The transformation process from SiCl4 to SiCl2 is exothermic without any energy barrier. While SiH2Cl2 and SiHCl3 can be spontaneously dissociated intoSiHCl2, SiHCl2 should overcome about 110 kJ/molenergy barrier to form SiCl2. Our works can provide theoreticalguidance for hydrochlorination of SiCl4 in the experimentalmethod. |
