Abstract

Shaped articles, e.g., bars, of semiconductor-grade, ultra-pure silicon, are facilely and efficiently produced by thermally decomposing/pyrolyzing a monosilane feedstream on a red-heated silicon support member, whereby high purity silicon is deposited thereon, and thence recycling the majority of the by-product reaction admixture into said monosilane feedstream.
