Abstract (en)

[origin: CA3003661A1] The invention relates to a process for producing granular polycrystalline silicon in a fluidized bed reactor comprising a reactor tube and a heating apparatus outside the reactor tube, in which silicon seed particles are fluidized in the reactor tube by means of a gas flow in a fluidized bed which is heated up by means of the heating apparatus, and polycrystalline silicon is deposited by means of pyrolysis on the hot silicon seed particles by addition of a silicon-containing reaction gas to the fluidized bed, and the granular polycrystalline silicon thus formed is removed from the reactor tube, wherein the reactor tube has a fluidized bed region and an unheated region above the fluidized bed, and the reactor tube has a silicon coating on its inner wall, characterized in that the unheated region of the reactor tube above the fluidized bed has a wall temperature that has the effect that the silicon coating over the entire reactor tube has a maximum silicon layer thickness in a ratio of 7:1 to 1.5:1 to the average silicon layer thickness in the fluidized bed region after an operating time of 15 to 500 days.
