The invention relates to a method for purifying halogenated oligosilanes in the form of a pure compound or a mixture of compounds with respectively at least one direct Si&#x2014;Si bond, the substituents thereof being exclusively made from halogen or from halogen and hydrogen and in the composition thereof, the atomic ratio of the substituents:silicon is at least 3:2, by the action of at least one purification agent on the halogenated oligosilane and by isolating the halogenated oligosilanes with improved purity. According to prior art, halogenated monosilanes such as HSiClare purified by treating with organic compounds, preferably polymers, containing amino groups, and are separated from said mixtures. Based on the contained amino groups, said method can not be used for halogenated oligosilanes as the secondary reactions lead to a decomposition of the products. The novel method is used to provide the desired products in a high yield and purity without using the amino groups.

The invention describes a process for removing nonmetallic impurities from metallurgical silicon. A melt is produced from metallurgical silicon and halide-containing silicon. As a result, the impurities are sublimed out and removed from the melt in the form of nonmetal halides. Compared with the known process, in which gaseous halogen is blown through an Si melt, the novel process can be carried out in a particularly simple and efficient manner.
