Silicon Bromide
| Description |  Silicon Tetrabromide is used to grow thin films of silicon by the chemical vapor deposition method. Pyrolysis of Silicon Tetrabromide followed by treatment with ammonia yields silicon nitride coatings, a hard compound used for ceramics, sealants and the production of many cutting tools. SiBr4 is also used in the production of semiconductor chips. It is a colorless liquid that turns yellow in air and has a disagreeable odor. SiBr4 is moisture sensitive, produced and packaged under Argon. |
