A technique for producing one or more shaped bodies of semiconductor material using the steps of depositing a layer of the semiconductor material from the gas phase onto the outer surface of a heated, hollow carrier body, or onto the mutually remote surfaces of two carrier bodies spaced from one another, and thereafter removing the carrier body or bodies from the layer or layers so formed. Each carrier body is heated indirectly by a heater body located within said hollow carrier body, or between said spaced carrier bodies, and heated to a temperature above the deposition temperature of the semiconductor material.

Shaped bodies and production of semiconductor material

For the manufacture of tubular bodies of semiconductor material, particularly of silicon, by the precipitation of a layer in the form of a hollow cylinder on a rod or tube-shaped,electrically heated carrier in a reaction gas suitable for the deposition of the semiconductor in question, with subsequent separation of the semiconductor layer from the carrier, the carrier is differentially heated in such a manner that the generated hollow-cylinder layer is given an annular, bead-like reinforcement; the separation of the tube obtained into parts is achieved by a cut made within the reinforcement.

Method for the manufacture of tubular bodies of semiconductor material

A method of producing shaped hollow semiconductor members, as of silicon or silicon carbide by depositing a select semiconductor material from a gaseous compound onto a heated graphite substrate which is first heat-treated above 1300.degree. C. in a flowing gas atmosphere, preferably a mixture of H.sub.2 and SiHCl.sub.3 so as to modify the surface characteristics of the substrate whereby the deposited semiconductor material does not interact with the substrate so that the substrate may be reused.
