Features Of Electronic Specialty Gas Phosphine PH3

  1. Ultra-high purity (99.999% minimum) with stringent control of metallic impurities (<1 ppb) and moisture (<0.1 ppm).

  2. Manufactured and packaged under inert atmosphere in electropolished stainless-steel cylinders with VCR® fittings to prevent contamination.

  3. Traceable lot documentation including GC-MS analysis, residual gas testing, and full Certificate of Analysis (CoA).

  4. Stabilized formulation with proprietary cylinder passivation to minimize wall adsorption and ensure consistent delivery performance.

  5. Compliant with SEMI F57 (Specification for Phosphine Gas) and ISO 8573-1:2010 Class 1 for particulate and hydrocarbon content.

Typical Applications Of Electronic Specialty Gas Phosphine PH3

  1. Dopant source for n-type silicon epitaxy in advanced CMOS and power device fabrication.

  2. Phosphorus precursor in low-pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) of silicon phosphide (SiP) and doped silicon layers.

  3. Key reagent in metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) for III–V compound semiconductors (e.g., InGaP, GaP).

  4. Plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) of phosphosilicate glass (PSG) for interlayer dielectrics.

  5. Ion implantation pre-amorphization and in-situ doping during selective epitaxial growth (SEG).

Electronic Specialty Gas Phosphine PH3 – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the CAS Number for electronic-grade phosphine (PH₃)?

A: The CAS Registry Number for phosphine is 7803-51-2. All electronic-grade PH₃ batches are traceably certified against this identifier per IUPAC and regulatory standards.


Q2: How does PH₃ compare to phosphorus-containing alternatives like TBP (tributylphosphine) or TPP (triphenylphosphine) in semiconductor processes?

A: PH₃ offers superior volatility, lower carbon residue, and direct P incorporation without organic ligand decomposition byproducts—making it preferred for high-resolution dopant profiling and low-temperature epitaxy where carbon contamination must be avoided.


Q3: Is PH₃ subject to export controls or REACH registration?

A: Yes. PH₃ is listed under EU REACH Annex XIV (Sunset Date: 2027) and subject to dual-use export controls (EAR99 / Wassenaar Arrangement Category 1.c.10). Full regulatory support documentation is provided with every shipment.


Q4: Can PH₃ be safely used in systems previously exposed to arsine (AsH₃) or silane (SiH₄)?

A: Cross-contamination risk exists. Dedicated gas lines, manifolds, and abatement systems are strongly recommended. Cylinder changeover requires rigorous purging (≥10 cylinder volumes with ultra-high-purity N₂) and residual As/Si testing per SEMI F21.
