Silicon tetrachloride, also called tetrachlorosilane, is a colorless, inorganic compound that is volatile in nature with a low boiling point. It is a fuming liquid that has a pungent odor and is moisture-sensitive. It easily decomposes in water, in the presence of heat into, to form hydrogen chloride and silicic acid. Silicon tetrachloride is a byproduct of polycrystalline silicon. It is used as an intermediate for synthesizing silicon-based products and surfacing modifying agents. Furthermore, it is incompatible with acids, bases, water, and alkali metals. It is used to produce silica and high purity silicon, which are majorly used in the commercial sector. Additionally, the high purity silicon has a wide range of applications in photo voltaic (PV) cells, semiconductors, and in the production of optical fibers.
