Abstract
Silane, well adopted as a source of semiconductor/photovoltaic grade silicon, is facilely prepared from methyldichlorosilane and trichlorosilane and/or tetrachlorosilane by, (A) in a first step catalytically redistributing methyldichlorosilane with trichlorosilane or tetrachlorosilane, or admixture thereof, to form methyltrichlorosilane and dichlorosilane, and separating dichlorosilane from the resulting reaction medium, and (B) in a second step, catalytically disproportionating the dichlorosilane thus separated to form silane and trichlorosilane, and thence recovering silane thus formed and optionally recycling trichlorosilane to said step (A).
