However, when chlorosilane containing methylchlorosilanes as impurities is used as a raw material, various disadvantages arise. For example, when silicon tetrachloride is used as a raw material for optical fibers, the presence of extremely small amounts of carbon derived from methylchlorosilanes may affect optical transmission characteristics, or trichlorosilane may be used as a raw material for Si polycrystals or epitaxial materials. When used, there is a possibility that the presence of a very small amount of carbon derived from methylchlorosilanes may affect the electrical characteristics of the device. Therefore, for these uses, it is desired that the content of methylchlorosilanes is 1 ppm or less, and that it is substantially free of methylchlorosilanes.

[0006] The present inventors have already proposed a method for removing methylchlorosilanes from silicon tetrachloride, since the by-product of methylchlorosilanes is unavoidable. Although this method is a purification method that can obtain high-purity silicon tetrachloride, it is even more desirable to directly obtain high-purity chlorosilanes by reacting metallic silicon with hydrogen chloride without performing such purification. It will be done.

[Means and effects for solving the problem] As a result of intensive studies to achieve the above object, the present inventors have found that carbon contained in the raw material industrial metal silicon reacts with metal silicon and hydrochloric acid. Although the mechanism is unknown, it was found that it reacts with hydrochloric acid and converts into methylchlorosilanes, and that the amount of carbon in metal silicon is closely related to the amount of methylchlorosilane generated. As a result of further investigation, we found that the carbon content of the metallic silicon used as the raw material for chlorosilane was 50pp.
By using methylchlorosilanes of 1 ppm or less, it is possible to produce high-purity chlorosilanes that are substantially free of methylchlorosilanes, thereby omitting or simplifying subsequent purification steps. can,
We have discovered that this is a cost-effective method for producing high-purity chlorosilane, and have come up with the present invention.

When using metallic silicon with a carbon content exceeding 50 ppm, it is not possible to obtain chlorosilane with a content of methylchlorosilanes of 1 ppm or less, and chlorosilane suitable for use in optical fibers or as a Si polycrystal or epitaxial raw material can be obtained.

In other words, industrial silicon metal, which is a raw material for producing chlorosilane, is usually produced by electric furnace reduction of silica stone with carbonaceous material, and a small amount of the carbonaceous material used at this time remains in the metallic silicon, which is The carbon content in silicon metal for use is several hundred to several thousand ppm, but when such metal silicon is used as a raw material for chlorosilane, as shown in the comparative example, the carbon content is from several tens to several hundred ppm of methyl chloride. Silane by-products are unavoidable. It is unknown whether the carbon in metal silicon is free carbon or a compound such as SiC, but it is likely to be SiC or the like since SiC slag is generated in normal manufacturing.
