More info

Silicon Tetraiodide (SiI4) is a highly reactive compound consisting of a silicon atom bonded to four iodine atoms in a tetrahedral configuration. This off-white solid is extremely sensitive to moisture and air, requiring careful handling and storage under dry, inert conditions. With a high purity level, SiI4 serves as a critical precursor in semiconductor manufacturing, microelectronics, and chemical vapor deposition (CVD) for high-purity silicon-based films. It is also utilized in the synthesis of silicon-containing compounds and etching processes. Due to its reactive nature, proper safety measures, including protective equipment and controlled environments, are essential for handling. Heeger Materials provides high-quality Silicon Tetraiodide Powder with reliable purity and performance.
