Abstract

The invention discloses a method for producing polysilicon with silicon tetrafluoride reduced by plasmas, specifically comprising the following steps: pumping the mixture of the silicon tetrafluoride gas and hydrogen as the raw materials into a plasma reactor filled with hydrogen, heating the silicon tetrafluoride gas and hydrogen to 1200-3500 DEG C instantaneously under the action of the plasmas and the silicon tetrafluoride gas and hydrogen carrying out chemical reaction to produce the polysilicon solid and the hydrogen fluoride gas; the produced polysilicon solid and hydrogen fluoride gas and the unreacted silicon tetrafluoride gas and hydrogen jointly entering into a gas-solid separation device, separating the polysilicon solid from the gases, the purity being more than 99.9999% and producing the finished product; and the hydrogen fluoride gas and the unreacted silicon tetrafluoride gas and hydrogen jointly entering into a condenser, condensing the hydrogen fluoride gas to liquid and the silicon tetrafluoride gas and hydrogen returning to the plasma reactor. The method has the advantages of novel and reasonable process routes, low equipment requirements, easy industrialization realization and low energy consumption.
