Abstract. We report on a method to produce SiC whiskers without the presence of metal catalysts by reacting carbon nanoclusters with SiO at 1700°C. The dark carbon nanotubes with hollow cores are converted to solid greenish SiC whiskers. Electron diffraction and EDX confirm that the product is SiC with a single crystalline hexagonal …

The rock is melted in a furnace at 4,000 degrees and the silicon purified even further. The process itself is similar to that used in steel production and is why this molten rock is often referred to as metallurgical silicon. Yet the physical properties are not like those of a metal, they are instead like those of a semiconductor.

The process begins with a silicon wafer. Wafers are sliced from a salami-shaped bar of 99.99% pure silicon (known as an 'ingot') and polished to extreme smoothness. Thin films of conducting, isolating or semiconducting materials – depending on the type of structure being made – are deposited on the wafer to enable the first layer to …

Renewable Energy Corporation, an integrated producer of silicon, wafers, cells and modules, projects that polysilicon production capacity will increase from under 50,000 MT in 2008 to 125–1,60,000 MT in 2012. This would exceed their projection of demand for polysilicon in 2012, potentially leading to a price drop.

China, again, accounts for about 80 percent of this output. A surprise to many is that solar and electronic grades of silicon account for just a small amount (less than two percent) of all refined silicon production. To upgrade to solar-grade silicon metal (polysilicon), the purity must increase to upwards of 99.9999% (6N) pure silicon.
