  • Publication number: 20230283187
    Abstract: According to the present embodiment, a main pulse signal generation circuit generates a first main pulse signal corresponding to rising of a logic signal, and a second main pulse signal corresponding to falling thereof. A sub pulse signal generation circuit performs at least either a first generation process of generating a first sub pulse signal corresponding to the first main pulse signal at predetermined intervals, or a second generation process of generating a second sub pulse signal corresponding to the second main pulse signal at predetermined intervals after a predetermined time from generation of the second main pulse signal. An output circuit outputs at least any of the first main pulse signal, the second main pulse signal, the first sub pulse signal, and the second sub pulse signal. The output circuit stops outputting at least either the first sub pulse signal or the second sub pulse signal.

  • Patent number: 10366882
    Abstract: The present invention provides a technique by which heat can be efficiently recovered from a coolant used to cool a reactor, and contamination with dopant impurities from an inner wall of a reactor when polycrystalline silicon is deposited within the reactor can be reduced to produce high-purity polycrystalline silicon. With the use of hot water 15 having a temperature higher than a standard boiling point as a coolant fed to the reactor 10, the temperature of the reactor inner wall is kept at a temperature of not more than 370° C. Additionally, the pressure of the hot water 15 to be recovered is reduced by a pressure control section provided in a coolant tank 20 to generate steam. Thereby, a part of the hot water is taken out as steam to the outside, and reused as a heating source for another application.

  • Patent number: 9193597
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for obtaining high purity chlorosilanes from chlorosilanes containing boron impurities and phosphorus impurities. On the basis of the finding that solid by-product formation in the purification of chlorosilanes by adding an aromatic aldehyde results from a catalytic reaction by iron ions or rust-like iron, a Lewis base having a masking effect is added to chlorosilanes. Examples of the Lewis base include a divalent sulfur-containing compound and an alkoxysilane. The divalent sulfur-containing compound is preferably a compound represented by the formula: R—S—R? (wherein R is a hydrocarbon group or a carbonyl group; and the sum of the carbon atoms in R and R? is 7 or more), and the alkoxysilane is preferably a compound represented by the formula: RxSi(OR?)4-x (wherein R and R? are each an alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms).
