Recovery of Waste Semiconductors for CVD Precursors.
Bumba, Jakub ; Dytrych, Pavel ; Fajgar, Radek ; Dřínek, Vladislav
The newly patented method for regeneration of ultrapure silicon and germanium via magnesium silicide and magnesium germanide from waste photovoltaic (PV) cells, broken germanium lenses and waste magnesium chips was utilized to obtain chemical vapour deposition (CVD) precursors for application in electronics, optics or nanoparticles synthesis. Magnesium silicide and germanide were prepared directly by thermal synthesis from waste materials in optimized tube reactor at 400°C and 5 Pa. X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) confirmed 97.9% respective 95% purity of products. The presence of silicon and germanium hydrides (CVD precursors) prepared by acid hydrolysis in the second step of the process was verified by Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectroscopy (GC/MS) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). The crude, unrefined mixture of silicon hydrides served as raw material for CVD experiment at different substrates. SEM images confirmed occurrence of various micro and nano particles which could be used in electronics, optics and catalysis.

Recycling technologies help to save energy, materials and environment. This is the main reason of their popularity. The recovery of semiconductors and metals depends on recycling treatment. A new multi-step technology, which enables to obtain pure silicon and hydrogen from waste materials,is reported in this study. The only by-product is magnesium phosphate, which is a desired fertilizer. Magnesium silicide was successfully prepared from milled silicon photovoltaic (PV) panels and milled Mg obtained from the scrap. The formed magnesium silicide was then hydrolysed by phosphoric acid to form a mixture of silanes. Gaseous products (silanes) were separated by cooling below their boiling temperature by liquid nitrogen and then thermally decomposed by a hot wire, e.g. Pt.This treatment leads to pure silicon and hydrogen release. In this study a deep-in characterization by various methods spectroscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) with Energy Dispersive X- Ray spectroscopy (EDX), etc.) of prepared samples was also done to explain the individual influences, e.g. reaction temperature and atmosphere.
