Silicon tetrafluoride (SiF4) is a kind of colorless, toxic, pungent and smelly gas with a molecular weight of 104.06. Silicon tetrafluoride is easily deliquescent and can produce thick smoke in damp air. Silicon tetrafluoride is soluble in ethanol, ether, nitric acid, hydrofluoric acid, its hygroscopicity is very strong and SiF4 changes into a liquid under pressure, silicon tetrafluoride has a wide range of applications in the electronic industry.
Silicon tetrafluoride is mainly used as p-type dopant, etching agent and epitaxial deposition diffusion silicon source of silicon nitride and tantalum silicide in the electronic industry, and SiF4 can also be used to prepare electronic silane or silicon. In addition, silicon tetrafluoride can be used to produce solar cells, fluorosilicic acid and silicon fluoride, cement and hardener of artificial marble.
Silicon tetrafluoride is stored in standard seamless cylinders, the packing specifications include 8L, 44L and 47L respectively. Specific packaging specifications can be customized according to user requirements. Silicon tetrafluoride is stored in a shady, dry and ventilated storeroom away from fire and heat source. Temperature of storeroom is lower than 30 ℃, the storage area shall be equipped with equipment for emergency.
