Product Description
Silane is a nonmetallic compound composed of one silicon atom and four hydrogen atoms (SiH4). It is a colorless, flammable gas. The silane is a unique, multifunctional compound which enjoys wide acceptance as a component in many industrial applications due to its inherent properties.
The primary use for silane is in the manufacture of silicon-based materials, including semiconductors and photovoltaic cells for use in solar cells. In the electronics industry, silane is a significant component of the thin-film deposition technologies, such as chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) to produce silicon dioxide (SiO2) and silicon nitride (Si3N4).
Furthermore, silane is used as a coupling agent for the production of adhesives, sealants, and coatings where it improves adhesion between organic and non-organic compounds. Its self-cleaning characteristic and water-repelling capability make it ideal for surface applications on construction materials such as cement and brick.
