Abstract: In the present invention, once a polycrystalline silicon rod is grown by the Siemens process, the polycrystalline silicon rod is heat-treated within a temperature range from 750° C. to 900° C. to relieve residual stress in the crystal. According to the experiment of the present inventors, residual stress can be relieved satisfactorily by heat treatment at the above-described low temperature, and in addition, metal contamination cannot be induced and the physical properties of the polycrystalline silicon rod cannot be changed. The above heat treatment can be conducted inside a furnace used to grow the polycrystalline silicon rod, and can also be conducted outside a furnace used to grow the polycrystalline silicon rod. According to the present invention, a polycrystalline silicon rod with residual stress (?) of not more than +20 MPa evaluated by a 2?-sin2? diagram can be obtained.

Abstract: A two-wire load control device (such as, a dimmer switch) for controlling the amount of power delivered from an AC power source to an electrical load (such as, a high-efficiency lighting load) includes a thyristor coupled between the source and the load, a gate coupling circuit coupled between a first main load terminal and the gate of the thyristor, and a control circuit coupled to a control input of the gate coupling circuit. The control circuit generates a drive voltage for causing the gate coupling circuit to conduct a gate current to thus render the thyristor conductive at a firing time during a half cycle of the AC power source, and to allow the gate coupling circuit to conduct the gate current at any time from the firing time through approximately the remainder of the half cycle, where the gate coupling circuit conducts approximately no net average current to render and maintain the thyristor conductive.
