Feedstock for Polysilicon

The feedstock involved in the production of Polysilicon is Trichlorosilane. Trichlorosilane is obtained from metallurgical-grade silicon and chlorine gas. Therefore, the availability and cost of these raw materials significantly influence the sourcing strategies, as any changes in their market can directly affect production costs and the availability of trichlorosilane. Trichlorosilane production involves hazardous chemicals and can generate toxic by-products, which necessitates strict environmental controls. Thus, compliance with these regulations can further affect operational costs and influence sourcing strategies for trichlorosilane.

Political stability and trade policies in countries that are major producers of trichlorosilane or its raw materials can greatly impact supply chains. Tariffs, trade barriers, and diplomatic relations can also affect the cost, availability, and sourcing decisions for Polysilicon. Trichlorosilane is highly reactive and corrosive, requiring specialized handling and storage solutions. The costs and logistics of safe transportation can also significantly influence its sourcing decisions.
 

Market Drivers for Polysilicon

The market for Polysilicon is mainly driven by its demand as a material used in the production of solar panels and semiconductors. Its application as a material in the manufacturing of solar cells and polysilicon-based solar panels largely boosts its demand in the solar industry. Its application as a material in manufacturing integrated circuits, semiconductor devices, and consumer electronics like smartphones also fuels its demand in the electronics and semiconductor industries. Its involvement in the production of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and high-precision sensors further contributes to its demand in the automotive, consumer electronics, and telecommunications industries.

The demand for polysilicon is closely linked to the solar energy and semiconductor industries. Increases in solar panel installations and the growth of electronics manufacturing largely drive the demand and influence procurement strategies for polysilicon. Environmental regulations affecting the production and disposal of materials used in the semiconductor and solar industries can further impact industrial polysilicon procurement. Polysilicon requires careful handling and storage to prevent contamination. Logistics costs, including transportation and storage, also serve as a factor that affects procurement decisions for polysilicon.

Capital Expenditures (CAPEX) for manufacturing Polysilicon primarily cover the cost associated with land acquisition and constructing the buildings. Investments in high-tech equipment like Siemens Bell-Jar Reactors, distillation columns, submerged arc furnaces, hammer mills, magnetic separators, CVD test reactors, quartz crucibles, and fluidized bed reactors are all covered under CAPEX. OPEX, or operational expenditure, for manufacturing polysilicon, includes the recurring costs that are necessary to keep the factory running smoothly. It includes the cost of purchasing raw materials, along with electricity and other utilities. It also covers the expenses related to the labor costs for workers who operate the machinery and manage the production process, and regular maintenance of equipment to ensure efficient operations.
 

Manufacturing Process

This report comprises a thorough value chain evaluation for Polysilicon manufacturing and consists of an in-depth production cost analysis revolving around industrial Polysilicon manufacturing.

• Production through Trichlorosilane Reduction: The feedstock required for this process includes Trichlorosilane and Hydrogen Gas.

The production of polysilicon through the Siemens process involves a high-temperature reaction. The process begins with the addition of Trichlorosilane to a reactor containing silicon rods, followed by heating between 900 to 1100 degrees Celsius. At this temperature, trichlorosilane decomposes, depositing silicon onto the rods, which gradually accumulates layers of pure silicon. Hydrogen gas is also introduced into the reactor, which helps in regulating the reaction environment and facilitates the breakdown of trichlorosilane. This process results in the formation of high-purity polysilicon.
 

Properties of Polysilicon

Polysilicon has a silvery appearance due to its crystalline structure, with a density of about 2.33 g/cm³. The melting point of the compound is 1414 degree Celsius, and its boiling point is around 2900 degree Celsius. It has a thermal conductivity of approximately 1.49 W/cm·K at 298.2 K. The thermal expansion coefficient is about 2.6 µm·m^-1·K^-1 at 25 degree Celsius. The electrical resistivity of polysilicon is higher than that of single-crystal silicon, typically ranging from 3 to 4 microhm-cm at 0 degree Celsius. Polysilicon is composed of silicon grains with a purity level that reaches 99.999999999% (9N) for electronic-grade material. It is generally inert in water but can react with strong acids and bases. Polysilicon can be doped with impurities like boron or phosphorus to alter its electrical properties, which makes it suitable for semiconductor applications.
