Silane is a general term for a series of compounds produced by the combination of silicon and hydrogen. Monosilane is the product with the largest application. Generally speaking, silane refers to monosilane. Silane is a colorless gas, soluble in water, flammable, explosive, and highly dangerous. Silane is an important special gas resource. It can produce monocrystalline silicon, polycrystalline silicon, silicon oxide, silicon nitride, metal silicide, etc. It is widely used in consumer electronics, flat panel display, microelectronics, photovoltaics, high-performance materials and other industries. Demand continues to grow.
In the 1950s, with the rise of the semiconductor industry, the application demand of silane in the electronics industry continued to increase; in the 1980s and 1990s, the computer, flat panel display, high-performance materials and other industries developed rapidly, driving the demand for silane to enter a stage of rapid growth; Entering the 21st century, the speed of technological upgrading in the electronic information industry has accelerated, the time for product update iteration has been shortened, and industries such as superimposed photovoltaic cells, sensors, and high-performance materials have flourished.
