Silane is highly reactive and spontaneously combusts in air, often igniting at room temperature.
It reacts with water to produce silicon dioxide (SiO₂) and hydrogen gas (H₂).
Silane can serve as a reducing agent, reacting with various metal oxides to produce pure metals.
Production:
Industrially, silane is produced by reacting silicon with hydrochloric acid, yielding silicon tetrachloride, which is then reduced with lithium aluminum hydride or hydrogen gas.
Uses:
Semiconductor Industry: Silane is used in the production of high-purity silicon and silicon-based compounds for semiconductor devices and solar cells.
Surface Coatings: It is used for applying thin silicon films and coatings through chemical vapor deposition (CVD).
Adhesion Promoters: Silane compounds are used as coupling agents to enhance the adhesion of organic polymers to inorganic surfaces.
Safety:
Silane is highly flammable and poses a fire and explosion hazard.
Proper handling requires specialized equipment and protocols to prevent accidental ignition.
Storage and Handling:
Silane is typically stored in high-pressure gas cylinders.
It requires strict control of environmental conditions to prevent accidental exposure to air or moisture, which could trigger combustion.
Understanding the properties and uses of silane is crucial for industries that rely on high-purity silicon materials and advanced coating technologies.
