Abstract:
Silane is widely used in CVD processing in the
semiconductor industry. The highly explosive nature of
SiH4-O2 mixtures represents a serious safety problem.
In this paper we report the results of numerical studies
on the influence of iodine and hydrogen iodide additives
on silane self-ignition limits. Previous studies of
influence of different additives on silane combustion
are summarized.
