Abstract
Polysilicon Production: Siemens Process — Bernreuter Research. Fetched by the auto-model research pass; the figures below are cited from this source in the model's flow, idiot-index, energetic-index, and market tabs.
Key facts
- Purity grades: solar multicrystalline 7N-8N; solar monocrystalline 9N-10N; electronic-grade 10N-11N
- Monosilane-fed FBR consumes ~one tenth of the electricity needed for heating a conventional Siemens rod reactor
- Leading manufacturers have cut cash production cost (excluding depreciation) below US$10/kg
Reviewer note
