- 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.
